4. Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini — Montauk Distilling Co. 

Every fall, Montauk Distilling Co. crafts a variety of seasonal cocktails. This year, they’ve created a pumpkin spice espresso martini — a classy twist on the beloved pumpkin spice latte — served in a glass drizzled with chocolate syrup.

5. Caramel Crisp Apple Latte — North Fork Roasting Company 

Those looking to venture beyond pumpkin flavored drinks this fall should try North Fork Roasting Company’s caramel crisp apple latte. The secret to this festive drink is its homemade simple syrup.
