If you won’t go ordering your Pumpkin Spice drink from your favorite beverage store, you better not celebrate the fall season with the world. Like seriously!
Pumpkin spice drinks are the spirit of autumn. Even if there’s the word “pumpkin” in the name, the drink doesn’t mean it will taste like pumpkin.
So, let’s say you’ve got that pumpkin spice drink on your home’s table, are you curious about which foods are the perfect pairs for them? Here’s a guide from Postmates.
Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Cinnamon is another symbol for fall, and just visualize the taste of cinnamon, perfect for pumpkin spice drinks, right? Their soft and slightly crispy texture pairs wondrously with the creamy and spiced pumpkin drink.
Experience the notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, unleashing the cozy vibes of the autumn season. Don’t be afraid to dip the donut in your latte, okay?
Maple Pecan Scones
There’s no such thing as too luxurious for cute, delicious scones. Queen Marie Antoinette of France, the lavish female ruler of the country then, loved her scones, but for sure she loves her pumpkin spice drink, too.
These maple pecan scones add a nutty sweetness that balances out the spice of the drink. The smoothness of the fluid blends in contrast with the buttery and crumbly texture of the treat. And, the maple syrup? Oh, your happiest moment. Care to try some toasted scones?
Cream Cheese Danish
Ah, the cream cheese Danish, tangy and creamy at that. Its flaky pastry layers add buttery richness, while the creamy filling balances the spices’ warmth. Additionally, the subtle hints of saltiness complement the drink’s pumpkin and cinnamon notes, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
Apple Crisp
If you’ve got time preparing apple crisps other than the usual apple pie, do so. This treat features caramelized apples, oats, and cinnamon that perfect echo the fall spirit of pumpkin spice beverages. Tartness of baked apples + the beverage’s sweetness, what more could you ask for? Notice the aroma, too, by the way. Heaven.
Gingerbread Cookies
If you ask if the two sound redundant, you better think again. While ginger is spiced, intensifying the profiles of the drink, the cookie’s chewy and crisp texture provides that uber-satisfying bite, together with the peppery warmth that only highlights the latte’s creaminess. Preview for Christmas? Why not!
Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
But wait, there’s more. Now that even youngsters could order on their own via food delivery apps, the more that they should be introduced to the classic favorites, such as these potato fries. If you’re the type of person who finds sweetness a villain, these fries are the best pairing for your drink.
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Who says that the cheesecake is too much for the mouth? While you’d have to prepare a glass of water beside you while munching on this, why don’t you have your pumpkin spiced drink instead by your side?
The flavors? Creamy, spiced, notes of cinnamon, notes of clove, and notes of nutmeg. Decadent, festive, and satisfying. Yum!
Choose. Either make those foods from scratch at home, or order them via Postmates, too. Happy autumn!
