Bourbon, pear, a squeeze of lemon, and a lot of ginger make up this warming fall cocktail aptly called the Bourbonik. The well-executed combo of lemon, ginger, and honey brightens up the rich flavor of the bourbon, making it an excellent drink for a sunny fall day.

Hudson Social
11 Station Plz, Dobbs Ferry; 914.478.3634
Stop by the Hudson River to take in the autumn foliage while sipping on the latest fall cocktails from Hudson Social. While there are many festive ones to choose from, the Hot Apple Cider is a must-try. With a choice of either bourbon or dark rum, the flavors of the rich alcohol are enhanced by Hudson’s Social special apple cider recipe, which includes a variety of seasonal spices.

Jack’s Bar & Restaurant
219 Main St, Eastchester; 914.652.7650
When it comes to utilizing the flavors of the season, Jack’s does it right — and then some. With a perfect 10 lineup of fall sips, there’s truly something for everyone. Consider the Smoked Maple Old Fashioned or the bold Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini for pumpkin spice lovers looking to go the distance. The newest addition to the menu is a standout; it’s a Blood Orange Honey Margarita, and it’s ideal for anyone looking for the brightness of citrus balanced by the sweetness and warmth of honey syrup. This orange cocktail is lined with a black salt rim, making it picture perfect for your next Instagram story.

Pour
241 E Main St, Mount Kisco; 914.864.0606
If you’re looking for a cozy, candlelit dinner alongside charcuterie boards and the finest whiskey, look no further. This Italian bar and eatery feels as though you took a step back into the prohibition era with an ambiance that begs for a cool autumn night to accompany it. Although known for an extensive selection of rare whiskies, Pour invites visitors to venture beyond and try the Ruby Heart cocktail, which brings in the diverse flavor profiles of smoky mezcal and warming cinnamon, and is topped off with an IPA float.

Saltaire Oyster Bar and Kitchen
55 Abendroth Ave, Port Chester; 914.939.2425
Sometimes, even during fall weather, we need a little refreshment from the warmth and coziness of the season. Vodka, cranberry, and lemon may be the focus of The Purple Rain, but the Malbec float on top is what makes this cocktail picture-perfect for fall. This drink is a testament to the fact you can make fall cocktails feel cozy, but also light and refreshing.
