Fall semester, the season of tailgates, mid-terms, and of course the return of pumpkin spice into all dishes and drinks. While the pumpkin spice latte might get you through exam time, it won’t suffice as the necessary pick-me-up for post-test unwinding. Fret not though — here’s your comprehensive list of pumpkin spice cocktails to boost morale and motivate you to complete that final exam!

Happy drinking!

I love peanut butter, steamed buns, dumplings and Chinese vegetables. Also, I am hopelessly clumsy and as a result, you will never see me without bruises (my friends have suggested permanently bubble-wrapping me as a method of countering this). I almost exclusively follow food Instagram accounts, I fall in love with random dogs on the street, I am compulsively overenthusiastic in emails and I have a fear of fish in enclosed spaces, farm birds, and fingernails touching.
