2. Apple Cider Hot Toddy

Apples are arguably just as popular as pumpkins during the fall season. When you’re not out picking them fresh from an orchard, you can add an apple cider hot toddy to your drink menu for wedding guests who want a classic drink.

4. Orange Maple Whiskey Cocktail

Couples who are looking to serve whiskey at their reception don’t have to be left out of the fall drink fun.
