Raise Your Hand If You Think Apple Cider Is Better Than Pumpkin Spice

Apple > Pumpkin. Sorry.

It's officially fall, and for most of us that means one thing: pumpkin spice lattes.

Or pumpkin spice deodorant, pumpkin spice salsa, pumpkin spice sausage...pumpkin spice everything, basically.

But I'm here to tell you something important: APPLE CIDER IS BETTER THAN PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES.

Now, I know what you're thinking:

But let's look at the facts: Apple cider doesn't need whipped cream or pumps of a sugary syrup that — let's face it — probably doesn't really have anything remotely resembling pumpkin in it.

Apple cider just needs a lil' cinnamon, or maybe some lemon. If you wanna be REAL fancy, throw some nutmeg or star anise in there. But really, you can just heat it up and put it in your mouth.

Oh, and it goes great with booze, too. Rum? Yes. Vodka? Sure! Whiskey? Why not?

Don't even get me STARTED about how good this stuff is freshly pressed.

But the GREATEST thing about apple cider is how it's so GOT-damn good with a fresh cinnamon-sugar doughnut.

Ask any Midwesterner and they'll tell you.

Could a pumpkin spice latte pull this off? No! The PSL is sweet enough on its own. Add a doughnut to the equation and it's too much! TOO MUCH I SAY.

Now, I'm not trying to disparage the entirety of pumpkindom. Pumpkin pie is still a top-five pie!

(Although TBH I'd have trouble rating it higher than apple pie. Sorry.)

I'm just saying that nothing quite beats one of these on a crisp fall day. Or a cold winter day.

Fall is just starting, people. We can make it happen. We can make 2018 the Year of the Apple Cider.
