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.

May the Fourth Be With You with this Star Wars-inspired cocktail
Mezcal Unión

Every sci-fi fan knows that May the Fourth is a special event in the calendar, as this date has become synonymous with Star Wars.
