Oktoberfest Drink Recipe Ideas That’ll Have You Yodeling with Joy (Even if It’s from the Couch)
You don’t need lederhosen or a crowded beer tent to get your festive sip on. These drinks bring all the Oktoberfest vibes—beer, apple, spice, and cozy deliciousness—with enough options for the beer babes and the non-alcohol crew. Prost, mama!
1. Apple Cider Shandy (Crisp, Sweet & Totally Fall-In-A-Cup)
- 1/2 cold beer (a wheat beer or lager is fab)
- 1/2 cold apple cider
- Splash of lemon juice
- Apple slices and a cinnamon stick for pizzazz
Light, bubbly, and dangerously sippable. It’s fall and Oktoberfest all rolled into one crisp chug.
2. Black Forest Beer Float (Dessert. In. A. Stein.)
- 1 scoop vanilla or cherry ice cream
- 1/2 cup stout or dark chocolatey beer
- Dollop of whipped cream
- Cherry on top like a diva
Rich, creamy, and extra—you’ll feel like you’re cheating on milkshakes. And you ARE.
3. Bavarian Non-Alcoholic Brewtini (Mocktail Queens Unite!)
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup ginger beer
- Squeeze of lemon
- Dash of cinnamon
- Crushed ice + apple slice garnish
This sparkly number brings all the autumn feels with zero hangover. Perfect for sipping during naptime or Netflix.
4. Oktoberfest Sangria (Because Moms Deserve a Pitcher of Fun)
- 1 bottle dry white wine (or non-alcoholic white grape juice)
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup brandy (or skip for a mocktail)
- Sliced apples, pears, oranges
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
Chill and let those flavors mingle like villagers at a harvest dance. Then pour over ice and act fancy.
5. Pumpkin Spice Radler (Yes, I Went There)
- 1/2 pumpkin beer

- Tiny sprinkle of nutmeg on top
It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it tastes like a PSL met a German beer in a flirty fall fling.
