Something about the coming of fall creates a craving for all-things cozy and comfortable. Do you guys notice that? All of the sudden cable knit sweaters, thick blankets, and a nice spot curled up next to the fire just seem so appropriate. That crispness of fall also incites in us a thirst for a new beverage. Out with the lemonade and sweet tea and in with the hot apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes.

Here are some of our favorite crisp weather beverages! Note: These drinks are best served in a nice mug for gripping and enjoyed in a cozy spot with a book. We’ve heard it enhances the flavors.
