Hey, Reader!

There's one flavor that's nearly synonymous with fall: pumpkin. By the end of August, pumpkin is around every corner — in lattes, cocktails and more.

That's all well and good if you're a pumpkin stan, but not everyone is! The good news is that if you prefer to keep pumpkins on your porch instead of in your cup, there's still a way to capture those cozy fall flavors.

A spiced simple syrup is an easy way to give any drink a fall makeover. I love it in a latte to jump-start my mornings, but it's super tasty in drinks like the classic old-fashioned too.

One of the things I love about this recipe is that it's flexible. Use your favorite spices or whatever you have on hand to create a custom blend that's perfectly cozy for cooler days. In a latte, you can use your favorite espresso and milk for a drink that hits all the right notes.

I'm curious how my followers shake out, so I have to ask — how do you feel about pumpkin?

Stay cozy and caffeinated!
