Hey, Reader!
Oktoberfest is a traditional German celebration that occurs from September 19 to October 4. While the official festivities take place in Munich, it has been recreated all over and is something you can even host at home.
Beer takes centerstage during Oktoberfest, with Festbier and Märzen flowing in the tents of Munich. However, more modern celebrations give their own take on the traditions by serving up beer cocktails and other fall drinks.
If you're planning to celebrate Oktoberfest at home, I'd make a menu that includes some beer cocktails or even beer-inspired drinks to help fit the palate of those that may not be beer drinkers. Here are some favorites:
beermosa
The beermosa is a cocktail recipe that has a pub feel yet keeps things classy. It’s fantastic for brunch anytime of year, but especially for Oktoberfest, as it stars beer instead of the traditional champagne-based mimosa.
This root "beer" whiskey flip is not beer per se, but close enough! It combines root beer whiskey, a dash of heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and an egg for a twist on a classic flip cocktail. This one is perfect all year long, but especially when it starts to cool off!
Chile beer sangria is a punch of spice and citrus in every sip! The chile-infused whiskey and juicy fruit slices only enhance all the flavors in the beer, making it the perfect sangria for everyone.
This quick and easy fall punch recipe packs big flavor in a delicious, simple-to-make recipe full of apple cider, ginger ale, and citrus. Mix up pitcher for your next fall party or as a refreshing option for those who don't want to drink during Oktoberfest!
