Pumpkin spice latte

Starting with a simple and classic is a spirited twist on a classic pumpkin spice latte made with Mozart’s pumpkin spice chocolate liqueur. Made in Austria, we love this option as it is made with all-natural ingredients — milk chocolate, caramel, natural pumpkin juice, cinnamon, cloves, and a hint of vanilla.
