Fall is right around the corner which means new beginnings, great first semesters back at school, the leaves changing color and the introduction of pumpkin-flavored drinks back into our lives. From the oh-so-classic Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks to Blue Moon's Harvest Ale, these autumn-inspired drinks are ALL must-haves before winter hits.
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte
This, in my opinion, will ALWAYS beat out any other pumpkin spice flavored drink. The long-awaited drink is soon to hit Starbucks which means that everyone will be rushing to grab the firsts of the season.
2. Lester's Fixins Pumpkin Pie Soda
This pumpkin flavored soda is not one you'd expect to taste good, but definitely one to try as all of the pumpkin trends roll in. Unique and great tasting, this pumpkin-flavored drink is one that will soon become a favorite.
3. Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee
Dunkin Donuts is not that far in ranking from the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starby's. The pro of Dunkin's Pumpkin Spice Coffee is that it's a whole lot cheaper while still tasting amazing.
4. Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
DQ has upper their game in expectation of pumpkin spice blowing up the autumn world again. Starting in early September, you'll be able to grab a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen. This amazing treat is meant for dessert, but it can be for any meal.
5. Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Latte Tea Concentrate
Found at Target, this pumpkin spice flavored drink (mix) is ready to be combined with either milk or another alternative to milk. Made either hot or iced, the Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Latte Tea Concentrate will soon become a fall favorite.
6. Pumpkin Wine
This pumpkin spice flavored drink is one that requires an acquired taste, but if you're a lover of both wine and pumpkin spice flavor, then this is the fall drink to keep stocked in your pantry.
7. Rumpkin Pumpkin Ale
According to Forbes magazine, this pumpkin ale, Rumpkin, was ranked one of the best. Made in Boulder, Colorado, this ale definitely has a unique flavor, but to the pumpkin spice flavor lover, this drink will be a hit.
8. Pumpkin White Chocolate Mocha
If you're lucky enough to have a Caribou Coffee near you, this pumpkin spice flavored drink is one that is a must-try. Both pumpkin AND white chocolate, you really can't go wrong in starting or ending your day off with this autumn-themed drink.
9. Pumpkin Spice Martini
Although you can't buy this drink already made, creating this drink to serve at your fall-kickoff party will score you major brownie points with your guests. With just a few simple ingredients, this pumpkin spice martini will soon become a favorite for everyone.
10. Pumpkin Pie Shake
Much like DQ's pumpkin spice flavored dessert deliciousness (try saying that 5 times fast), this Pumpkin Pie Shake is served by Red Robin.
11. Harvest Pumpkin Wheat Ale
Another pumpkin spice flavored beer, Blue Moon gives us an alcoholic drink that even guys won't feel girly about drinking. If you're planning a party, grab a couple cases of this Harvest Pumpkin Wheat Ale and you'll instantly be the life of the party.
