There’s no doubt that the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte steals the stage as fall approaches each year. Â Its appearance at your neighborhood Starbucks, not the autumnal equinox, signals the modern-day transition of the seasons. Â
But could it be that this fad is unnecessarily loved? Â
After all, another, more timeless fall favorite lurks in its shadow….Â
Pumpkin aside, apple is the flavor of fall. Â As such, apple cider is unquestionably the default drink. Â
- Apples don’t have to try so hard. Â
How many variations are there on an apple? Â Not only are there dozens of different “species,” but you can make countless other foods and drinks from them, from cider and sauce to pie and cake. Â Pumpkins have PSL, pie, and jack-o-lanterns, if you’re really trying. Â Â
- Apple cider’s never been basic. Â
You can wear your North Face and Uggs with pride while ordering a cider at your local coffee shop— no one will roll their eyes like they would at certain *other* orders…. Â
- Apple cider-themed cocktails are everywhere. Â Why bother trying to create an alcoholic PSL? Â
Â
- Vegans can enjoy. Â
That’s right, your PSL isn’t saving the animals…. Â
- It will make your dreams come true. Â
If you can’t trust her, who can you trust??Â
Happy sipping!Â
