Hello and welcome to September.

Fall is coming and I’m here for it. If you’re over those pumpkin spice lattes, then check out these other fall-inspired drinks to get you in the mood for the spooky season.

1. Apple Pie Punch

Mmmmmm. It’s like an apple pie but liquid and never-ending. Okay, it ends, but it’s also a WHOLE punch bowl! Plus, it’s perfect for parties.

A CLASSIC. This cannot be overstated or over-drunk. Warm apple cider combined with some hype spices is literally the only reason I enjoy fall.

Okay, yeah, pumpkin picking and Halloween are cool, but like, warm apple cider, man.

It’s just a mimosa (champagne and orange juice) but substitute the juice for apple cider! Add a cinnamon stick for extra fanciness.

4. Apple Pie Smoothie

You can drink this one in the morning just like you would with a pumpkin spice latte! Or you could drink it at night and delight in your ability to sleep at night cause, you know, no caffeine.

Okay, I see that I have been sleeping on pumpkin drinks a smidge, so here is a pumpkin drink that is nothing like pumpkin spice lattes. It’s so good it’s almost strange, because who knew pumpkins and mint could go together?
