The Perfect Fall Drink for Any Occasion

Let’s imagine for a moment you’re strolling through what can only be described as a Hallmark-inspired town, popping into quaint little shops, leaves crunching under foot. The air is crisp, just cool enough for a sweater and a light scarf. You’ve got a cup of something in your hand: what is it?

For me, it’s a chai latte, creamy and perfectly spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger– a drink that belongs in charming villages and moody libraries.

Whatever your dream fall experience (a bonfire, a tailgating party, a day at the orchard?), we’ve got a drink to make it even better. Whether you’re a fan of chai or pumpkin, apple cider or caramel, coffee or tea, you’ll find a drink to fall in love with this season.

Tips for Making Coffee-Shop Worthy Drinks at Home

  • Get a milk frother. Enjoy creamy, frothy lattes at home with a milk frother. Wand-style frothers, like this one, are super affordable. If you want to upgrade, try a steamer/frother combo.
  • Make your own whipped cream. This cinnamon whipped cream takes a chai or pumpkin latte over the top!
  • Have a few coffee syrups on hand. For fall, we especially recommend this brown sugar cinnamon syrup, honey syrup, or a classic cane sugar syrup that goes with everything. They’re great for sweetening cocktails, too!
  • Try a cheaper alternative to an espresso machine. Espresso machines can be expensive, but we’ve had great results using the Aeropress.
