The Conversation (1)
We’re pumpkin-obsessed around these parts, and it turns out that all of you like to have your pumpkin and drink it too! :) We treasure hunted on the web to find the most enticing pumpkin cocktails, smoothies, and hot drinks, and think we may have found a few that we’d prefer over the infamous PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) that this country seems to know and love so well. Bottoms up!
Pumpkin Caipirinha
First up, a caipirinha! This recipe features fall flavors like ginger, nutmeg, and pumpkin to create a cozy cocktail. And, since pumpkin is sweet on its own, no refined sugar or juices are needed to sweeten things up – just a touch of agave nectar! (via Fit Sugar)
Spiced Pumpkin Bourbon Punch
This bourbon-powered drink combines lemon, honey, ginger, and pumpkin puree and is designed to totally knock you out ;) (via Domesticate Me)
Pumpkin Cider Beertail
No idea what to do with that pumpkin flavored beer you bought two weeks ago? Turn it into something more sparkly with help from cider, cinnamon, and lemon. (via Brit + Co.)
(Wild) Turkey and Sage
This would be an amazing cocktail to kick off a Thanksgiving feast. Love the combo of savory and sweet. (via Serious Eats)
The Ultimate Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Not only does this smoothie taste ridiculously delicious but it’s dairy-free which makes it pretty darn guilt-free, too! (via Brit + Co.)
Pumpkin Mojito
We love a throwback to summer, especially on an unseasonably warm day here in SF. To create a fall-inspired mojito, use brown sugar instead of white, and add in pumpkin puree! (via Yum Sugar)
Pumpkin Spice Hazelnut Coffee
This one is sort of like a PSL that is both spiked and nutty, and we’re into it. (via Poet in the Pantry)
Chocolate Pumpkin Gingerbread Martini
Okay, this is one of those recipes where we read the title and immediately pass out. I mean, crunchy cookies, pumpkin spice, chocolate, coffee, ginger, and cream? What. (via The Blond Cook)
Pumpkintini
For this trick, we turned the flavors of a pumpkin spice latte into a martini! So yummy. (via Brit + Co.)
Spiced Pumpkin Cider
We do love us a warm cider, especially a luscious one like this. The pumpkin puree adds a thickness that is just perfect for fall. (via She Knows)
Pumpkin Chai Latte
Take your regular cup of chai up a level by adding pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin, and maple syrup. Nom. (via Texanerin)
Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate
Ever tried white hot chocolate? It’s a fun alternative to the regular cocoa move, and stirring in pumpkin really kicks things up. (via Macaroni and Cheesecake)
Death by Pumpkin
Are you ready for THREE types of pumpkin in one dangerous drink? We’ve got pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice liqueur, and pumpkin ice cream. (via Hungry Couple)
Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie
And last, a healthy pumpkin option! Not only will this smoothie add fiber to your day, but the pumpkin helps keep you fuller longer. (via Healthful Pursuit)
