In college I made a lot of the punches for our frat and one of my two signature drinks was a fall punch I made every halloweekend. It’s really just a healthy mix of apple cider, ginger ale, and jim beam but the trick is to preheat the cider before hand on the stove and add the extra fall spices to make it pumpkin spiced. Also using a hollowed out pumpkin as a container and tossing in some dry ice for effect helps. Frat dudes love that shit so it was always baffling to hear them talk shit on pumpkin spice lattes like I didn’t just serve us all pumpkin spiced punch
I mean maybe, but almost every flavor in the US is immensely sweetened and american hogs love their sugar. Pretty sure there are some other factors going on there…
I listened to a radio piece once where spice industry reps claimed that pumpkin spice had to be purchased premixed to the perfect ratios by their nerds, otherwise it just isn't pumpkin spice.
pumpkin spice isn't a thing here, but isn't it just the same spices used for mulling booze? like cinnamon and cloves and shit?
Yeah, it is! I love mulled booze, so cozy.
fuck yeah
:comfy:

by cider did you use the alcoholic drink, or the thick brown liquid kind?
The non-alcoholic kind. You’re looking for equal parts cider to bourbon so you don’t want it to be alcoholic too
It's 2:1 allspice and cinnamon, and optionally some other spices in small amounts (at least that's how I make my pumpkin spice coffee).
The psl has pumpkin but only for the past few years.
i cannot parse this
Psl here means “pumpkin spice latte”, not :PSL:
OH
that makes sense lol ty
ikr that keeps throwing me off too.
My favorite coffee shops use pumpkin purée, which makes the drink more creamy / malty.
Here that would just be called "Christmas spices"

I wonder if that helped radicalize me further lol
