A sweet adult bourbon cocktail based on your favorite fall coffee drink. This vegan spiked pumpkin spice latte is bound to warm you up from the inside out!
A Fall Favorite with a Bonus!
The season of fall brings cardigans, apple picking, and for most coffee lovers out there- pumpkin spice lattes.
Although we love a barista created drink from time to time, we have also realized that with the abundance of non-dairy options now available, you can easily whip up your own favorite coffee drink in the comfort of your own home.
The other bonus? You can make it an adult beverage that tastes just like a purchase version but with a tasty addition- bourbon!
A Soul Warming Bourbon Cocktail
Bourbon is the perfect accompaniment to a pumpkin spice latte. It adds a deep vanilla flavor that compliments the spicy pumpkin.
Additionally, bourbon is a warming spirit that is bound to warm you up on a cool Fall day or night. You will feel this sweet Autumn drink warming you from the inside out.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Espresso – Robust espresso, a favorite of many, is the obvious base for this wonderful warm drink.
- Pumpkin Spice Oat Milk – Seasonal flavored oat milk adds sweetness and mellows the acidity of the espresso.
- Bourbon – It wouldn’t be fun drink Friday without a little spirit. Bourbon adds notes of caramel and vanilla as well as a little adult kick.
- Cinnamon – Finishing with a dash of cinnamon really helps you experience the seasonal flavors before you even take a sip.
FAQ & Vegan Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte TIPS:
-
Can you use another non-dairy milk?
- Absolutely. However, then you will need to add your pumpkin spice flavor another way. Another great option is using pumpkin spice syrup. Plus, you will then have the option of enjoying this beverage year round!
-
What if you don’t have an espresso machine?
- Although it will not technically be a latte, you can use strong dark roast coffee instead of espresso if needed. Then, the non-dairy milk can be heated either in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove. If you make your drink this way, we highly recommend using a milk frother to aerate your latte to add a little foam.
-
Make it Fancy
- Want to go all out? Try adding non-dairy whipped cream on top or even chocolate shavings for a decadent treat.
-
Mix it Up
- Not a big fan of bourbon? Try using another alcohol of your choice. Vodka, whiskey, or rum would also work for this spiked latte.
