Fall cocktails may get all the love, but you don't need alcohol to make a pretty drink with fun ice and a nice glass. Well-made fall mocktails can be every bit as refreshing and a great way to embrace autumn and celebrate Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving. Besides – seasonal drinks are really *all* about the ingredients — mainly apple, pumpkin, and fig. So, get your mocktail cart ready and check out the yummy non-alcoholic cocktails below!
Jaguar's Coupe
Though originally crafted for a May holiday (hola, Cinco de Mayo), this drink can be a total fall mocktail. It's zesty and sweet all at the same time, and brings some warmth via bell pepper juice. Give this one a try when you don't feel like sipping on some alc. (via Nikola Nikoletić, Head Bartender at Patent Pending for Brit + Co.)
