pumpkin spice
Fall latte flavor
Pumpkin spice is a blend of warm spices—typically cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice—traditionally used to flavor pumpkin pie.
The term has expanded far beyond baking to describe a distinctive fall flavor profile added to coffee drinks, candles, cereals, and countless other products.
I'll have a pumpkin spice latte.
The phrase has become cultural shorthand for autumnal consumerism, sometimes invoked mockingly to characterize basic or predictable seasonal enthusiasm.
