I have to say that no matter how many times I get a pumpkin spice latte, hot, iced, or frozen, I don’t feel satisfied. I get it for the “basic white girl” gimmick, but after that, it isn’t something I’d get again. These are some good options for alternatives if you’re looking to refresh your fall beverages.

Apple Cider

This is the superior drink of fall, and you can’t change my mind. Apple tastes so better than the artificial pumpkin flavor. Whether it’s hot, cold, or alcoholic when I think of apple cider I think fall.

Tea

Tea is a new thing I can get behind. My friend from England sent me some tea bags and it is one of my favorite drinks to curl up and get cozy with. Coziness is the epitome of fall.

Hot Cocoa

There is always good ol’ reliable. A drink that has been popular no matter what age you are. Something about the whipped cream and sprinkles (for me at least) just gives me nostalgia for football games.

Starbucks Maple Pecan Coffee

Not one that I have tried yet, simply because I’m not the biggest coffee fan. Anyways this would be a good one to try at Starbucks if you are looking for something warm.

Dunkin Donuts Apple Cranberry Refresher

When looking for something iced, and a little on the cheaper side, this year Dunkin
has their Apple Cranberry Refresher. I tried this when it came out earlier this year
and it was like fall put in a cup. If you could taste the inside of a JoAnn’s fabric store,
that’s what this drink was like.
