Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte

Fall has synonymous with the PSL. A beloved seasonal drink has turned into a cult phenomenon that now has everything pumpkin and spiced.

And. I'm hopping on the PSL train. Except with vodka. Who's with me?!

Once the temperatures dropped below 80 degrees, I caught a craving for a fall flavored cocktail. After researching a couple of homemade pumpkin spiced cold-foam recipes, I decided to throw some ingredients together for an autumnal libation.

What was initially a "fingers-crossed this actually tastes good" moment, my tastebuds were pretty impressed with the final product. It's very similar to my pumpkin white russian recipe, except not quite as rich. A white russian is like drinking dessert. This recipe will have you ready to GO for the day.
