Apple cider, please!
You’ll find Kendra with a hot apple cider in hand all autumn long! Her family loves getting homemade apple cider from local farms they know. They enjoy putting the cider in a thermal serving canister, especially while hosting a family event or football tailgate. Their family spices up the drink by adding red hot candies into the cider by the spoonful. To Kendra, no drink makes her feel cozier in the fall or brings her back to her childhood memories quite like hot apple cider.
If you know Lexi, you know she loves citrus fruit! Her love for citrus follows her love for the flavors of apple + cinnamon. When Lexi envisions the perfect fall drink, she thinks of this apple cider cocktail. This cocktail combines all the fall flavors Lexi loves in one glass! The cocktail is full of flavor + picture perfect for a fall weekend out with the ladies in downtown Sioux Falls.
You can never go wrong with coffee!
Molly has two favorite fall drinks that are her “go-to’s”. Molly enjoys a hot cafe miel in the morning from Coffea to start her work day. In the late afternoon or evening, you can find her enjoying a homemade hot toddy! She likes to make her hot toddies with whiskey + lemon juice + honey + a cinnamon stick + boiling water.
Molly is not the only one who enjoys a cafe miel! This drink is Alli’s all-time favorite drink year-round. The drink is the perfect fall mixture with hints of cinnamon + honey.
Some people may call it basic, but Chesney loves a pumpkin spice latte (#PSL). There is truly nothing better than warming yourself up on a chilly, autumn morning with a #PSL. It’s also the perfect drink for the season, encompassing all things fall!
