These popular pumpkin drinks are perfect for fall! There’s something for everyone, from pumpkin spice lattes to cocktails.
Been counting down the days to pumpkin season? Every year it seems to get a little bit earlier: these days it’s creeping into August. But for good reason: everyone loves a bit of pumpkin spice! Here are the top popular pumpkin drinks for the season: a few lattes, a few cocktails, and a cocktail for good measure! Whether you’re craving for caffeinated, healthy, or boozy, there’s something for everyone.
And now…the top pumpkin drinks for the season!
One of the top pumpkin drinks for the season? The Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte! Make this Starbucks special at home and it’s even better than at a coffeeshop: creamy and cozy-spiced, with a hint of vanilla and real pumpkin puree. It’s easy to whip up homemade and when you take the first sip: you’ll want to make it on repeat.
Many of the season’s recipes are sugar loaded: pumpkin cookies, cakes, and of course good old pumpkin pie. But why not enjoy the flavors in a healthy and delicious way? This Pumpkin Smoothie is creamy and full of pumpkin-spiced flavor: and made with Greek yogurt and fruit! It’s a deliciously cozy way to usher in the season…without the sugar high. It’s also packed with protein from the yogurt.
Want a pumpkin drink that's boozy? Try the Pumpkin Old Fashioned! This one is for bourbon-lovers: it’s a nuanced slow sipper with notes of vanilla, maple and spice. It’s barely sweet and bourbon-forward, ideal for sipping by the fireside or any fall occasion. While it’s bright orange, it tastes just like the Classic Old Fashioned you love…only cozier.
Here's the perfect pumpkin drink to add to your repertoire: the Pumpkin Martini! It’s creamy, it’s cozy pie spiced, and it’s made with real pumpkin for the best natural flavor. Even better, coat the glass rim in crushed graham crackers and you get a hint of crunchy sweet in each sip! This is the best cocktail for impressing your friends for any fall occasion.
When it comes to pumpkin drinks, nothing tops the great Pumpkin Spice Latte. Of course you know this legendary Starbucks drink. But have you ever tried a real PSL? It’s not a super saccharine orange drink loaded with whipped cream. No, this one is an actual café latte: made with real pumpkin and pumpkin spices. Take one sip and it tastes incredible: like you just sat down at a fancy craft coffeeshop.
