Pumpkin Spice Mocha is available all year round when you make it in your home. This hot or cold drink recipe is easy to make, and you can top this mochaccino with whipped cream, and drizzle caramel sauce, or cinnamon-infused maple syrup.
Hello my friends, even when pumpkin season is over, and the trend is not pumpkin spice everything, for me with this pumpkin spice mocha, the season lasts the whole year long. With the right mochaccino recipe I can have my mocha anytime I want.

I love three variations of this coffee drink; the regular Cafe Mocha, Peppermint Mocha, and Pumpkin Spice Mocha. The only mochaccino that I haven't tried to make at home yet is the peppermint mocha.
I recently released another of my favorite hot drinks, Spiced Spanish Hot Chocolate. I cannot decide which of those two drinks is at the top of my list.

Here's a video from Starbucks making a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Not exactly the same as our recipe below, and obviously you don't have these machines at home (if you do, I want to come over for coffee), but you should enjoy:
This Cafe Mocha recipe doesn't need very detailed instructions because it's super easy and the strength of the coffee and the flavor intensity of the pumpkin spice is adjustable to your taste.
I usually brew my daily coffee with my espresso maker from Mr. Coffee, and for this recipe I just used the espresso setting. When you go to brew the espresso shots, there are many options out there, so pick one that works best for you.

Hahaha - that's such a great point - Pumpkin Spice Mocha truly is available all year if you just know how to make it yourself! No need to wait for Starbucks every year lol! And omg ... I LOVE the idea of drizzling this with a little cinnamon-infused, real Vermont maple syrup! Wow!
Geoffrey @ Spoonabilities
You got it Shelley! and yes, that little drizzle of maple syrup just takes it over the edge.
Kathryn Donangelo
This Pumpkin Spice Mocha is sooo perfect for Fall! This is my new go-to drink to make and we can't get enough. I'm saving my Starbucks money and making these for the next month!
Geoffrey @ Spoonabilities
LOL, sounds like a plan Kathryn. That's what we do, although Starbucks still gets plenty of our money.
Veena Azmanov
This sounds like a perfect and flavorful Mocha. Homemade is the best option too. I want to surely check on this recipe.
Geoffrey @ Spoonabilities
Do give this recipe a try Veena. The best part about homemade is you can adjust ingredients to make your very best favorite mix.
Beth
I'm with you, I'd drink it all year long as well! Can't go wrong with coffee, chocolate and pumpkin spice! It's the perfect mix!
Geoffrey @ Spoonabilities
We completely agree Beth, and happy you agree with us. LOL

Oh wow! What a comforting drink that deserves a sit down and a sip. This looks fabulous. It is hot over here in Australia at the moment but as soon as it gets cooler, I am making this, cheers!!!

Wonderful Adrianne. Sounds like a plan. If you are on pinterest, be sure to pin it so you have it for later.
