When you think about fall drinks, you mind probably goes straight to whiskey. After all, as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, whiskey is the naturally warming spirit that many of us gravitate towards. But while there are plenty of great whiskey cocktails for fall out there, you needn’t limit yourself to just this spirit to get into a seasonal mood.

Please any palate with these approachable, fruity vodka cocktails

Pink, fruity, and delicious drinks for a special evening

This Valentine's Day we're seeing a lot of love for tequila cocktails, but those flavors aren't to everyone's tastes. If you prefer something a bit more classic, or if you're not so used to strongly flavored spirits, then you can always turn to the bar standby of vodka. Vodka's great strength as a mixer is its ability to blend with almost any flavor, and if you choose a good quality brand then you won't be faced with harshness or strange off tastes. Instead, a good vodka should add a clean flavor, a nice smooth mouthfeel, and just enough of a spirit kick to add some flair to your drinks.

In the spirit of loving vodka, we have a couple of romantic recipes from YoCo vodka that are pretty, fruity, and easy to drink. If you're looking for a casual, easy to sip drink that still has some special magic for yourself and a loved one, then these are the ideal choice. After all, who doesn't love flavors of blackberry, strawberry, and pomegranate?

We're loving the embrace of tequila cocktails for romance season, and these recipes from Maestro Dobel Tequila include classic flavors like strawberry and orange liqueur, but also some lesser seen ingredients like rhubarb bitters, prickly pear syrup, and grated nutmeg. They also make use of different styles of tequila, from reposado to cristalino to añejo, so you can make the best use of your tequilas depending on how they have been aged and finished.

Give in to temptation with The Temptress cocktail

An enticing combination of raspberry, rose, and sparkling wine

Raspberries growing

One often overlooked cocktail ingredient that comes charging to the fore at this time of year is the humble raspberry. With its sweet, tart, sharp flavor, it's perfect for mixing with ingredients like Champagne or gin, as you can see in classic recipes like the Clover Club cocktail. But it's also great for celebratory drinks with a touch of romance, thanks to its delicate red hue and associations of summer luxury.

An on-trend cocktail that makes use of raspberries as a star is The Temptress, recently developed by Bridget Albert, Senior Director of External Communications & Host of the Served Up Podcast at Southern Glazer's. As well as raspberry puree -- ideally freshly made if you have time, but we won't complain if you're in a rush and use store bought -- it features rose water and chocolate bitters to celebrate romance season. There's also the addition of gin and sparkling wine with lemon juice, a combination that I personally can never get enough of, to create a drink that's a Valentine's Day take on the classic French 75.
