It’s fall, and you know what that means: Everywhere you turn it’s chunky sweaters and tall boots—not to mention everyone’s very favorite fall sip: the pumpkin spice latte .
But folks, I’m here to tell you that there is more to fall than the PSL. Starbucks does not have a monopoly on your beverage consumption from September to December. It’s time to throw off the chains of conformity and have some drinks this fall that challenge the status quo. While the rest of the world takes filtered Instagram selfies with their PSLs, you can avoid being #basic by drinking something a little more adventurous while the leaves fall. (Granted a lot of the yummy fall drinks in this list are spiked, so they won’t replace your morning latte. But a fall happy hour is the best kind of happy hour, in my opinion.)
Check out the most delicious drinks of the fall season that aren’t pumpkin spice in the slideshow.
