Apple, Pumpkin Beer Cocktails

IN THIS POST

I’m channeling my inner mixologist today and sharing my love for cocktails made with beer. I’m going to be perfectly honest with you guys. I DON’T love cocktails. I don’t love cocktails, that is, unless bourbon is involved. I can down a manhattan in just seconds. Basically if there is bourbon somewhere in the mix I just adore it. This may be why I have a not-so-secret obsession with beer that has been aged in bourbon barrels. These apple, pumpkin beer cocktails are probably the best thing to come out of a shaker glass, and you guys have got to try it this holiday season.

 

I don’t think this recipe could be posted at a more appropriate time. I mean we are under a week from Halloween, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

These apple, pumpkin beer cocktails…oh my…it’s like pumpkin pie and apple pie got together and had a beautiful baby. A baby made up of bourbon, pumpkin ale, apple cider and lemon juice.

Top it off with some cranberries and cinnamon sticks. It’s oh so festive!

I swear to you. It’s like Thanksgiving in a glass.

Beer Love:
 

When you go to choose your pumpkin ale for this cocktail, do be careful. Choose a pumpkin ale that you just love. This step is all based on personal preference. Do me proud!

Here are some examples of pumpkin ales I just love for these cocktails:

Elysian Brewing’s Night Owl Pumpkin Ale

Uinta Brewing’s Punk’n

Nebraska Brewing Company’s Wick for Brains Pumpkin Ale

Southern Tier’s Pumking

  1. I love cocktails and really can’t drink anything else but wine. This cocktail is perfect for the fall!!

  2. YOU are hilarious! The first time I visited your blog and saw your picture I INSTANTLY pegged you for a bourbon-swigger. Obviously! :) But seriously, I don’t know anything about bourbon. I do know, however, that this cocktail looks incredibly fresh and fallish and delicious. I cannot partake until I get this bun out of my oven, but I’m pinning this for January!!!!

    1. Hi Ashalee! Hmm, that’s a good question actually. If you plan on serving it right away, I would just throw all of the ingredients into a large punch bowl, including the beer (minus the ice – serve that on the side). Include the cinnamon sticks and cranberries into the bowl also. It may also be a good idea to through in some club soda into the mix to keep it bubbly. I hope this helps, and let me know if this works!
