16 Ideas For Fall Beverages 

In this blog post, I’m going to share some of my favorite ideas for fall beverages that are sure to warm you up and make you feel all the cozy fall vibes. 

Hot Apple Cider (A Classic Fall Beverage!)

 

First up, let’s talk about hot apple cider. This classic fall drink is a must-have in my house, and it’s so easy to make. 

Simply heat up some apple cider in a pot on the stove, and add in some cinnamon sticks, cloves, and a little bit of honey or brown sugar to sweeten it up. 

Let it simmer for a while to let all of the flavors meld together, and then serve it up in mugs with a cinnamon stick for stirring. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy on a crisp fall day, and it’s also great for entertaining. 

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

PSL! I know I know – they’re everywhere this time of year. But there’s a reason for that – they’re delicious! And making them at home is actually really easy. 

You’ll need some strong coffee or espresso, some milk (I like to use almond milk), pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a little bit of maple syrup. 

Simply blend everything together in a blender or whisk it together in a pot on the stove, and then heat it up until it’s nice and hot.

Pour it into mugs and top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for the ultimate fall treat. I found a really yummy recipe using the above ingredients! You can find the pumpkin spice latte recipe here! 

Whipped Cafecito

It’s hot, frothy and fluffy. The best part is it has a Latin twist – Cafe Bustelo and Horchata! Check it out, trust me, you will love this one!

Chai Latte With A Fall Twist

Froth up some milk (again, I like to use almond milk but any milk will do) and pour it over the top of the tea mixture. It’s a delicious and warming drink that’s perfect for sipping on a chilly fall afternoon.
