Considering that the pumpkin spiced latte has become an iconic autumn drink, it was only a matter of time until some creative minds figured out the best way to add a little more warmth to it.
One such creation that succeeded on this front comes from 'Poor Man's Kitchen' and 'Cachaça 51.' The recipe makes use of 1 cup of Arabica coffee, 1.5 oz of Cachaça 51, 1.5 oz of coffee brandy, 1 oz of heavy cream and lastly, .75 oz of the 'Pumpkin Spice Syrup' from Poor Man's Kitchen.
In order to create the autumn drink at home, all one needs to do is pour the caffeine into a glass until it's three quarters full, add the alcohol and then finish it off with the heavy cream.
