Nothing says party quite like punch! This holiday version is made with brandy, apple cider, vanilla, and chai (yes, chai!) for a drink that’s sweet, well-balanced, and full of subtle spice flavors. Punch has a long history of getting people convivially schnockered. As an alcohol delivery mechanism, it predates even the cocktail.

Mulled wine is one of my favorite things about winter. No matter how cold or dreary it is outside, a cup of hot spiced wine is guaranteed to warm your body and your spirit. It's also super easy to make, and you can even make it ahead for a party; just put all the ingredients in a pot and start warming them a few minutes before guests arrive. (Bonus: It will make your house smell amazing.) Want an even more hands-off approach?

Maybe you love a good Negroni, but you're also a big fan of whiskey. Perhaps you love the Manhattan, but want to try something different (but not too different). Or maybe you're just an adventurous drinker looking for a rich, complicated cocktail that's easy to make and perfect for fall. If any of these things are true, the Boulevardier—which is made with whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth—is the cocktail for you.
