One of my favorite things about fall is the Pumpkin Spice Latte at my favorite coffee shop. Unforgettably, the closest location is well over an hour away from me so I only get a handful of pumpkin spice lattes before the season is over. I've made them at home before and while they are good, they aren't the same.
So when I saw a drunken Pumpkin Spice Latte I couldn't wait to try it. It was pretty much all the flavors of a classic pumpkin spice latte but with some alcohol added in. Since I'm always trying to stay warm in the fall and winter I knew this recipe was going to be a winner.
After checking out the liquor situation in our house, I had everything I needed or at least something close enough to make this beverage. The base of the latte is simply coffee, no espresso needed here. I had a bottle of Pumpkin Pie Vodka left over from last fall which was perfect for this beverage. We also received a bottle of Rum Chata at Christmas time and hadn't opened it so I was excited to use it in this recipe.
After mixing everything together it smelled amazing. I could smell the pumpkin and cinnamon and the coffee was a rich caramel color. I grabbed some whipped cream to put on top and it was ready! The taste was delicious. While I could clearly taste the liquor in the coffee, it tasted like a hot pumpkin spice latte with a little something extra. Perfect for fall weekend nights at home.

Pumpkin pie vodka!!!??? Clearly I need to go shopping, and then make this wonderful latte. I know what you mean about going the distance for a favorite coffee drink. I totally understand.
Betsy @ Desserts Required

Much less expensive, much better tasting and you don't have to leave your house. Perfect.
HezziD
That's my thought too! I had a pumpkin martini the other night while I was out and it was $10! I can make this for about $2.

Such a perfect drink on a fall day like we had here in NJ today!
Wendy @ Wholistic Woman
That looks SO good! I can't believe you had an unopened bottle of rum chata though 🙂
HezziD
Can you believe this is the first time I've ever had Rum Chata? Won't be the last!

Clearly, my liquor cabinet is lacking because sadly, I have neither ~ but not for long. Love Rum Chata and can't wait to get the Pumpkin Pie Vodka to try. This would be a great Thanksgiving beverage too!
