The holidays are always a joyful time, with people everywhere in a great mood. At Spaceman, we like to keep the good vibes flowing with seasonal cocktails, but some people think that once the weather drops, that means it’s time to put your Spaceman frozen beverage machine away. We’re here to tell you that is NOT THE CASE! According to this article by VinePair, the latest cocktail trend in winter is frozen drinks. They didn’t just highlight frozen cocktails in general, though. They specifically gave love to Spaceman machines, explaining that blended ice with a splash of liquor is not what people want anymore — guests are looking for frozen cocktails that are smooth, creamy, well crafted, and worth coming back for.

Below is a lineup of some of our favorite fall cocktails that look great and taste even better. Continue reading for drinks that can boost your seasonal drink sales!

S’mores Old Fashioned

This fall twist on a classic Old Fashioned quickly became a crowd favorite after we posted it, and for good reason. Old Fashioneds are known for their sophisticated, bourbon-forward taste, which can be a bit intense for some guests. By adding familiar s’mores flavors, the drink becomes more playful, slightly sweeter, and a lot easier for non-whiskey drinkers to enjoy. Even if bourbon is not usually your first choice, if you like s’mores, this cocktail is worth a try. You can find the full batch recipe here.

Candy Corn Creamsicle

If you have a dual-flavor Spaceman frozen drink machine, you have to try this layered slushie. It combines Lemon Creamsicle and Orange Creamsicle mixes, and once you layer it and add whipped cream on top, it looks exactly like a candy corn. It’s fun, eye-catching, and perfect for getting guests to snap photos and tag your bar on social media. This one really lets the promotion take care of itself.

Pumpkin Pie Martini 

This Pumpkin Pie Martini is our spin on the iconic fall dessert that everyone looks forward to as the holidays roll in. The RumChata brings a smooth, creamy texture and those cozy spices people love this time of year. This is a super tasty cocktail and it’s easy to finish with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, crushed graham cracker, or whatever garnish you’d like.

Apple Pie Martini 

If pumpkin pie isn’t really your thing, we get it! It’s not for everybody. That’s why we also have this apple pie-inspired batch recipe ready to go. It has all the cozy apple cider flavors you want in the fall, plus a creamy caramel finish that keeps it sweet and smooth instead of tart. It’s super easy to batch, fun to serve, and always a hit with anyone who loves apple desserts. Add a star anise on top for a cute fall touch and it’s really that simple.
