Top Five Unusual Drinks For This Fall
With Autumn coming, coffee shops and cafes have started changing their menus to the Fall versions. But what if you are tired of pumpkin lattes and want to try something new this year? Maybe even to find your new favorite drink.
Here are five interesting coffee drinks for Fall that you should try.
1. Yuzu Espresso Tonic
Gregory’s Coffee has recently introduced its Fall menu, and Yuzu Espresso Tonic is probably one of the most unusual ones there. This drink is cold, so if you are a cold brew lover, you should try it! The espresso shot is mixed with yuzu and peach syrup and topped off with sparkling water. If you feel like you’ve tried everything, and you need some more colors on your coffee palette, the espresso tonic should go into your “must try” list.
2. Masala Chai
Masala Chai is a perfect Fall drink that originated in India. It is one of the most warming drinks ever! The base for the beverage is black tea which you add milk and spices to. You can definitely play with the spices based on your preferences, but the traditional version has cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and sugar in it. This drink is perfect for a cold fall evening. Get under the blanket with your favorite book in one hand, and a steaming hot cup of Masala Chai in the other.
3. Mulled Wine
Mulled Wine is one of the best warming drinks for Fall and winter. And it’s very easy to make! You would need some wine or grape juice, some oranges, cinnamon, and cloves. If you decide to use wine as a base, you can add some sugar or honey to make the drink a little sweeter. Mulled Wine will warm you up even on the coldest Fall day! The great mixture of spices and citruses, as well as wine or juice - this is the perfect recipe for a cozy Fall drink!
4. Mexican Hot Chocolate
Even though hot chocolate might be seen as a winter drink by some people, let me tell you, they are wrong. Mexican hot chocolate is great for Fall, and there is nothing that can make me think otherwise. The dark bittersweet chocolate is mixed with cinnamon and a little bit of sugar, which makes the drink more rich in flavor and less sweet. If you prefer a spicier version, you can try Mexican hot chocolate with nutmeg or chili. These spices will help you get even warmer on the chilly Fall days.
5. Honey Almond Milk Flat White
If you don’t want a completely new flavor but are still looking for something new to experiment with, try Honey Almond Milk Flat White. This is a great mixture of sweetness and slight bitterness from the honey, and creaminess of the almond milk. This cozy drink will absolutely make your Fall a little bit sweeter.
