Autumn Imbibing

Scotch.

Hot tea. Preferably Stash brand. I won't drink the hard stuff any more.

Baileys and coffee(decaf)
Hot chocolate
Tea
Cafe Mocha
Apple cider - with donuts!

There is a hot chocolate mix at this place that is out of this world!

I like to sip amaretto when it's chilly outside, but you can't beat a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks!

But for everyday, good old JFG coffee.

My mom makes wassal (dunno if that's spelled right) every Christmas Eve - I love it, but it's the only time I drink it. Just a whiff of apple cider and cinnamon puts me in a Christmassy kind of mood because of it, thought!

Sangiovese or Faustino Rioja.

Or tea.

Or bouillion.

Or coffee with dark cocoa powder and cinnamon.

Obviously, I'm very fond of urinating in coolish weather.

Okay. I nevernevernevernevernevernever buy Starbucks. But there's one drink this time of year... some pumpkin spice thingy (see, I don't even know the official 'half-double-half-skim-grande' name) and it is out of this world.

Thanks for the reminder, Midnight. I'm going to make it a point to indulge myself this week. Mmm. Can't wait.

Niquil-the old version.

Terri - Mr. Vagabond calls that particular Nyquil "Green Death", and that's his favorite too

Mud Dauber, yeah.....Pumpkin Spice Latte!!

Miss Perky, I'm a fan of hot bouillon too!

Jersey chick - Wassail! I've never tried that!

Midnight Muse, I HAVE to try that recipe. It sounds yummy!

Every autumn I pick up a bottle of Boulard Calvados. Real apple brandy, not just that flavoured stuff. I put it in everything, then have a snifter of it once in a while.

It's just a little cocoa...

St. Brendan's Irish Creme Liqueur in warm cocoa...

OK more of a winter's drink, but outside of my Stout/Porter fix this is about it.

Vodka and cranberry.

Just like I like in the other three seasons.

Tea, spiced eggnog, apple cider, rum with anything, a bit of brandy, bailey irish cream with coffee...

And soup. I am a big soup crazy.

Is the pumpkin spice latte like a coffee thing? It sounds good!

For me?--special recipie hot chocolate (milk + cocoa mix + melted chocolate + marshmallows + whipped cream...it's a good thing I run a lot, haha) and french vanilla tea.

Beer. Only I start moving to the heavier beers as the air gets crisper.

Like scotch ales and IPAs.

I just love a warm cup of rooibos tea or coffee.

Alcohol makes me cold for some reason.

As far as beer goes, the wheat beers are nice in the fall, or a bitter. We have a beautiful beer here in Ontario called Creemore Ale. Creamy and yummy, good for a stormy day. We also have a raspberry wheat.

Oops. Carole, I completely missed your post last night.

Guess thinking about that Pumpkin Spice Latte got me too excited to read through the whole thread! LOL

Second!

A decent single malt spreads a nice warm glow through you. Just the thing!

Hot. And near a bathroom.

And, during the day, Coffee. Just plain old steaming hot coffee.

Yep! It's a latte with pumpkin spice flavoring. Not sure, but I think a latte is 1 part espresso with 2 parts steamed milk or something like that. Think cappuccino with more milk.

For me?--special recipie hot chocolate (milk + cocoa mix + melted chocolate + marshmallows + whipped cream...it's a good thing I run a lot, haha) and french vanilla tea.

Holy cripes! That sounds fantastic!!

Oooh, thanks, MM, for starting this thread!

I've been drinking "Pacific Spice" chai mix in my milk. I think that's the name of it. It comes in a brown box, like soy milk does. They also have it in decaf and vanilla. Great hot or cold.

I love sweet tea. And apple cider with cinnamon schnapps.

Oh, yeah. When it's really cold--hot cocoa in a big mug (extra powdered milk, please!) with about a tablespoon of peppermint schnapps. It's like drinking a Peppermint Pattie. Yum!
