The air is crisp, leaves are falling and PSL’s are back for a limited time. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few years during the season of fall, A.K.A. the most wonderful time of the year, PSL stands for “Pumpkin Spice Latte.” Lately, PSL’s are not only for drinking, you can wear them on your lips, shirt and hang it in your car. Being the good investigative journalist that I am, I put on my fluffiest fur boots, comfiest leggings and paired it with a giant flannel shirt and I headed out on a hunt. About $30 later, I bring to you my top ten PSL endeavors.
- Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte: Starbucks is the home base of Pumpkin Spice Latte’s. Its ratio of whip cream to pumpkin spice is perfection. The warmth of the nutmeg and cinnamon with a hint of clove will warm your soul.
- Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Pumpkin Swirl: The name speaks for itself. This version of the coveted PSL is perfect when you’re in a rush and don’t want to spend a fortune for a drink that will be gone in minute.
