Time for pumpkin spice and everything nice
Today is the official start of fall. It’s the season for cozy sweaters, Ugg boots and pumpkin spice lattes.
Everyone loves the aesthetic of fall, when the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, and when places come out with their seasonally pumpkin spice lattes. Unfortunately not everyone loves the taste of pumpkin and/or coffee or maybe has just gotten tired of it.
If pumpkin just isn’t for you Chick-fil-A has a new seasonal shake called the Autumn Spice Milkshake. This shake is the definition of the fall season. It’s handspun made with Chick-fil-a icedream, combined with warm fall flavors and has chunky bits of brown sugar cookies mixed into it.
The Autumn Spice Milkshake tastes delicious with its rich cinnamon flavor. It also gives off the taste of a pecan pie mixed with apple pie, and with the brown sugar bits mixed into it just ties everything together.
This $4 milkshake is a great alternative for a fall drink if you don’t like or want a change from the pumpkin spice latte.
Another alternative for a delicious fall drink is the Starbucks Chai Tea Latte. This drink is just a little over $3 for a grande. You can get this drink iced or hot and if you want to give it a bit more of a fall vibe you can add pumpkin or vanilla cold foam on top.
This drink is black tea infused with cinnamon, clove and other spices mixed with your choice of milk. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
The feel of the fall/autumn aesthetic is something everyone needs to experience and this drink is just right to give that feel for you.
This last drink is practically cousins with the pumpkin spice latte, but has more of a sweet taste to it. It’s the Nutty Pumpkin Iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
It has Dunkin’s Original blend coffee, but they added in pumpkin spice swirl and hazelnut flavoring and cream of your choice.
The Nutty Pumpkin Iced coffee is exactly what it sounds like. It tastes like your everyday pumpkin spice latte but has a nutty taste to it. It’s a lot sweeter than a pumpkin spice latte as they have added more syrups to it but is still delicious and sweet. For just over $2 you can get this tasty fall inspired iced coffee.
