Autumn Coffee Drinks To Sip All Season Long

by Rebecca Deczynski

Whether you consider yourself a pumpkin spice latte devotee or you favor a nice glass of cider, there’s nothing quite like kicking the colder weather off with seasonal fall drinks. While you can enjoy flavors like pumpkin, apple, and caramel any time of year, there is something about the changing colors of leaves and crisp, chilly air that inspires us to sip on drinks that keep us cozy — or just seem to taste like fall. And when you add some coffee to that mix, things couldn’t possibly get any better.

In a time of year filled with hay rides, Halloween, and plenty of sweaters, we tend to crave a very specific kind of drink: something a little spicy, creamy, and all-around crave-worthy. When you need a pumpkin spice latte, you need a pumpkin spice latte. Why should you have to fight your seasonal cravings, after all? It’s only autumn once a year. Time to break out the pumpkin, caramel and more.

Your vanilla latte will remain a staple all year long, so use the new season as an excuse to branch out or to indulge in your usual autumnal favorites. Maybe you’ll even wind up with a new go-to drink — or you’ll get creative and decide to spike your favorite fall drinks. It’s up to you. Just make your choice a delicious one.
