That time of year again when the pumpkin spice and peppermint sensation begins. Don’t let the title “pumpkin spice” or “peppermint” fool you; just because it has it doesn’t mean its good. Here is a list of some noteworthy drinks for your fall festivities.
Pumpkin Smoothie
Starting right off with the pumpkin drinks: according to allrecipes, this is a drink for the most avid pumpkin lovers. This drink would be good for one of those hot Carolina fall days.
Starbucks Flat White
This drink is Starbucks’ flagship drink for the fall according to Starbucks. The drink is mostly sold year round but is most popular in the fall.
Starbucks Peppermint Mocha
Another popular Starbucks drink for the winter and fall, it’s a good choice for those who can’t wait for Christmas in October. You can add peppermint to pretty much any drink that Starbucks offers, making any drink into a delicious fall drink.
Cold Brew Coffee
A new sensation for all coffee lovers out there. Cold brew coffee is not the typical iced coffee but instead coffee brewed with a different method. Cold brew coffee is brewed over room temperature water over a long period of time (normally 24 hours) rather than the normal hot coffee process. Thrive Market says that cold brew coffee is more refined and has a sweeter taste with no need for milk or sugar.
Hot Cocoa
You can’t have a fall drink list without the traditional hot chocolate (cocoa). One of the most popular drinks for this time of year had to make the list. If the above are too odd for your taste, try the old-but-true option.
