Autumn means anything and everything will be mixed with pumpkin spice. Something about the cold weather just makes you crave something pumpkin and delicious. Also, nothing gets you more into the Halloween spirit than a pumpkin spice flavored drink. I have never had the most well-known pumpkin spice creation, a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. *Gasp*

Yes, it’s currently 80 degrees outside so there’s no way I am ordering a steaming hot latte, but I will take a grande pumpkin spice iced latte, please. Heck, let’s go all out and get whipped cream on top. You only live once, right?

On  the outside, it looks like a typical coffee drink, yet I still am inclined to take a picture of it and post it on Snapchat so everyone knows I’m drinking a pumpkin spice iced latte.

The moment of truth as I take my first sip… holy guacamole, I don’t even like coffee and this is delicious. It’s all the glorious taste of pumpkin pie without having to spend hours chewing. The pumpkin helps mask the coffee flavor, which I could care less for, and the spice helps add a special kick. If I timed myself, the drink would have been gone in about two minutes. This could be dangerous as I still have money left on a gift card and the pumpkin spice season has just begun.

So, the pumpkin spice latte deserves all the hype it  receives. While skeptical at first, I am happy I tried the latte. Now, I am on a quest to try all of the other pumpkin spice creations.
