4. Pumpkin Hot Coco
Who doesn't love some homemade hot chocolate on a chilly day?

5. Candy Corn Punch
For those of you who can't stand hot drinks, or you live somewhere where it is very hot year round, this is the perfect fall drink for you!

Ingredients: Ice 1/3 part Crush orange soda 1/3 part yellow Gatorade 1/3 part zero calorie lemonade Vitamin Water

Directions: Fill your cup/pitcher/whatever you are using up to the very top with ice. Pour the orange soda in first until you’ve filled about 1/3 of your glass. Next, slowly pour the Gatorade directly on top of the ice and let it trickle down on top of the orange soda until it fills 2/3 of your glass. Finally, slowly pour the lemonade on top of the ice and let it trickle down on top of the Gatorade. *Note: Take care not to stir this drink or it won’t work.
