If you’re looking for some new drinks to sip this fall, take a look at these recipes.
As the temperatures begin to drop and the leaves start to turn, there’s no better way to embrace the cozy spirit of fall than by indulging in delicious seasonal drinks. From rich, spiced teas to innovative protein shakes, fall offers endless opportunities to warm up with something tasty. Whether you’re looking for new coffee flavors or a twist on classic chai, here are some fall-inspired drinks to try this season.
Spiced Chai Lattes
Few things scream fall like a warm spiced chai latte. The rich combination of black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves creates a comforting, aromatic drink that’s perfect for crisp autumn days. While you can always opt for a chai latte from your favorite café, making it at home allows you to customize the flavor to your liking. Whether you prefer a traditional chai or a chai latte with a pumpkin twist, this drink is a fall staple you don’t want to miss.
For a unique spin on the classic, try making a spiced chai latte with a blend of vanilla and honey. This adds a smooth, sweet undertone to the spices, creating a perfectly balanced drink. Or, opt for a pumpkin flavor to bring in the fall flavors.
Unexpected Coffee Flavors
Fall is the season of creative coffee flavors, and there’s no shortage of new and exciting options to try. While pumpkin spice lattes remain a beloved classic, there are plenty of other fall-inspired coffees that offer unique flavor profiles. Imagine savoring a salted caramel mocha or indulging in a maple cinnamon latte, both of which capture the essence of the season in every sip. For something nutty and rich, try a hazelnut coffee recipe.
Fall Protein Shakes
As the weather cools down, it’s easy to crave something comforting and sweet. Fall protein shakes are a great way to satisfy those cravings while staying healthy and energized. Protein shakes don’t have to be boring—they can be packed with seasonal flavors like pumpkin, cinnamon, and apple to give you all the fall vibes in a nutritious package.
Take a look at some of these fall protein shake recipes, like this classic pumpkin spice shake, an apple cinnamon protein drink, vanilla bean shake, or this snickerdoodle recipe.
Seasonal Teas
Tea lovers rejoice—fall is the perfect time to explore new seasonal teas that highlight the flavors of autumn. Whether you prefer something sweet, spiced, or herbal, there’s a fall tea blend out there that will hit the spot. Some popular options include cinnamon apple tea, ginger turmeric tea, and toasted almond tea, all of which provide warmth and comfort on chilly days.
One of the best parts about seasonal teas is that they often incorporate ingredients that are known for their health benefits. For a fun fall activity, try visiting a local tea shop where an expert can help you pick out your next favorite blend.
Rich Hot Chocolates
Hot chocolate is a quintessential fall drink (and perfect to make with or for grandchildren!), but this season, why not take it up a notch? There are countless ways to elevate your hot chocolate game, whether by adding unique flavors or topping it with decadent ingredients. Think dark chocolate hot cocoa with a dash of chili powder for a hint of spice or try a white hot chocolate for a twist on a classic. You can also make hot chocolate bombs for a fun surprise.
Fall is the perfect time to experiment with new flavors and cozy up with a warm drink. Grab your favorite mug, wrap yourself in a blanket, and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall with every sip. For more recipes and tips, take a look at the CapTel blog.
