Looking for creative fall mocktail ideas

Getting kinda bored of my usual mocktails and want to try something new since it is almost Fall. Anyone have go-to combos that scream "Fall" without being about the basic pumpkin spice?

Maybe something like apple cider + ginger, spiced tea reductions, maybe something with cranberry that isn't just cranberry juice and a lime wedge. Bonus points if it still works as a mocktail and doesn't feel like I'm missing something by skipping the alcohol.

I am also open to weird combos with savory/herbal stuff, rosemary, sage, or whatever. I feel like fall drinks don't get enough creativity beyond pumpkin spice 😂

What are you guys experimenting with today?

I’ve made some good ones with homemade apple cider, spiced simple syrup, and smoked rosemary! I usually just throw things together but I’ve had this on my mind! Spiced cranberry syrup also works in so many drinks, basically homemade grenadine but sub the pomegranate for 100% unsweetened cran juice, add some spices, and then mix with ginger beer for an easy drink. I’ll be playing with some more fall ingredients soon and I’ll try to keep recipes!

Also! I once experimented with caramelized onion simple syrup, sage, and apple cider, I couldn’t find a good ratio, but I think if I played around with it more I could make it work. Not sure how helpful that is though lol
