7 Treats Better Than a PSL

Fall is here and we know that can only mean a few things... one of these things being the annual arrival of Pumpkin Spiced Lattes! While the ever-popular beverages are delightful and a sweet welcomed divergence from your not-as-interesting mocha or cup of joe, we have the admit that we think the PSL is a tad overrated when it comes to all of the yummy items this season has to offer. Check out these 7 treats better than a PSL:

Spiced Pumpkin Punch 
This recipe by Domesticate Me is probably our favorite pumpkin beverage of the season... and yes, we do think it beats the PSL by a mile! With pumpkin puree, fresh ginger, and plenty of bourbon this is soon to be one of your favorite cocktails of all time. Think the puree will be too think and strange? No need to fret! It adds just enough thickness to give this beverage sipping power to be enjoyed all throughout cocktail hour or as a fall-inspired nightcap. GET THE RECIPE HERE>>
