Tips for Better Pumpkin Spice Drinks

Use Real Pumpkin Puree

Real pumpkin puree gives drinks a deeper flavor and a slightly thicker texture. Use plain pumpkin puree rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling when making your own recipes.

Froth the Milk

Frothed milk makes hot pumpkin drinks feel more café-style and gives whipped cream a run for its money.

Balance the Spices

Pumpkin spice can become overpowering when too much is used. Start small, taste, and add more gradually.

Adjust the Sweetness

Maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, and regular sugar can all work depending on the drink.

Make Them Dairy-Free

Swap regular milk for oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk and use a suitable dairy-free topping.

Make Iced Drinks Extra Cold

Chill the coffee, milk, and pumpkin mixture before adding ice. This prevents the ice from melting too quickly.

Create a Fall Drink Station

For parties, set out cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, caramel sauce, maple syrup, cocoa, crushed cookies, and pumpkin spice so guests can customize their drinks.
