Seasonal food is easy to talk about this time of year — apple pie, Thanksgiving turkey, and warm tomato soup. But how about the beverages?
Fall is on the horizon so that means we’re trading in our rosé and hard seltzer drinks of the summer for beverages that are a little warmer, and a little more likely to keep us cozy as it gets cooler outside. From lattes to bourbon-infused drinks, there is no shortage of autumnal surprises to get excited about this fall in Houston.
Sip your way through the season at Day 6 Coffee Co. (daysixcoffee.com) located downtown. Day 6 is serving up their “Holy Grail” drink this fall, which is a perfect blend of espresso, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
If there’s anything the fall months remind you of, it’s to definitely snuggle up. West University’s Cavo Coffee’s (cavocoffee.com). Its fall offering is “The Cozy Corner” featuring bourbon cajeta, fall baking spices combined with Cleo Roasting Co.’s Fawn blend espresso and steamed oat milk.
If you know anything about this time of year in Houston, you know it’s still warm outside. Meaning, it’s the perfect temperature for a cold brew. You can get your cool fall kick at A 2nd Cup (a2ndcup.com) in the Heights, with their signature “The Joquain” cold brew drink, infused with spiced pomegranate, citrus, and garnished with Jalebi and Mint.
