Hi Bold Bakers! It’s that time of year!! It rolls around fast, but I’m ready for it this year. It’s when we start getting the Holiday spirit with our food, drinks, and decorations. One telltale sign that it’s the most wonderful time of the year is when Starbucks rolls out their red cups filled with their seasonal drinks like the Peppermint Mocha, Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, and, of course, the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Already have an account? Possibly the most popular Starbucks drink for the holidays, the Pumpkin Spice Latte has the caffeine we crave with the kick of warm spice we love. And, of course, the whipped cream on top doesn’t hurt. Whipped cream-topped anything is going to be delicious. The drink is just a real treat after you’ve been out in the cold and need to warm yourself from the inside out.
The holidays are a season for feasting, sharing, and indulgence. It’s a time for eating, drinking, and being merry. Nothing warms the soul more than warm drinks on a cold fall night. This Pumpkin Spice Latte appeals not just to your tastebuds but to your nose, too. If there were ever a drink that tastes like Thanksgiving in a mug, this would be it.
These recipes multiply really well, so if you are having friends over, make up a big pot and serve it hot with whipped cream on top. And these drinks are so satisfying and decadent that they could almost replace dessert. Only joking, nothing replaces dessert! Make sure to check out my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice recipe so you can make your own for your fall and holiday baking.
