Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte – Iced or Hot
To me, the fall season starts when all the pumpkin spice things start getting put out and this recipe is the best one to kick off the season. This homemade pumpkin spice latte can be made hot or iced depending on your mood when making it. You can also top it with cold foam!
Now this may be called a spiked latte, but you can make it alcohol free! This way anyone can enjoy this latte. Whether you want an alcoholic beverage or a basic at home Pumpkin Spice Latte–this recipe is for you.
Ingredients Needed
- Strong Brewed Coffee: Can’t have a latte without coffee. You can also use espresso if you have an espresso machine – or used iced coffee!
- Vanilla Vodka: If you can’t find vanilla vodka, add a few drops of vanilla extract to the drink.
- Cinnamon Whiskey: Fireball gives an amazing spiked flavor to the drink.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer: This is a main part of the latte, but also the main ingredient for cold foam if wanted. You can use regular or sugar free.
- Whipped Cream Caramel: Or cinnamon for garnish!
How to make a spiked PSL

Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam
Cold Foam has become a staple in many iced latte drinks over time. This one is special because it is pumpkin flavored cold foam. Cold Foam is super easy to make since it only involves one ingredient and a milk frother! It is a must try for your iced drink.

Saw this on Pinterest. Yum! This is my 1st thanksgiving in 8 yrs that I’m not hosting a big family meal or flying – this sounds perfect thing to have for the holiday!
I don’t usually love PSLs, but this is a recipe I can get down with! I just made PB&J pancakes with International Delight’s new Reese’s creamer and OMG they were life changing! They seriously have the best flavors of creamers.

Just when I thought I couldn’t dream about PSLs any more than I already do. 🙂 These look and sound SO perfect for a cozy Saturday night in!
I haven’t had Fireball in about….20 years. And this looks like the perfect drink to break my streak! So true about DIY coffee drinks – you control the calories and for the same price as 1 drink out you can make about 10 at home! This looks great!
