The folks over at Daily Ration are our kind of people. It might not technically be fall, but August gets us excited for the upcoming change of seasons. With that change comes new seasonal drinks, and Daily Ration has already rolled out its Caramel Pumpkin Latte.
This latte is made with caramel syrup, house-made pumpkin syrup, espresso, and your choice of milk or milk alternatives. If you’re not quite ready for the warm lattes, you can get it served on ice to get the best of both worlds.
We can’t wait for other shops to drop their seasonal drinks, but in the meantime we’ll reminisce on last year’s tasty fall drinks.

Editor’s pick: I won’t lie, I love a good rainy day in Chattanooga, as long as it’s not too many days in a row. My favorite thing to do is order food from Sitar Indian Cuisine and watch a movie with the windows open. You can check out my go-to Sitar orderhere.
