We Won’t Drink Dunkin’ PSLs The Same After These Hacks

There are a few things that come to mind when fall finally rolls around. Cool air starts to make an appearance to combat the hot and humid days of summer, the leaves transform into a color palette so stunning it looks like you’re staring at a painting, and of course, pumpkin spice lattes hit the menu at Dunkin’.

Taking a sip of that warm, pumpkin spice-infused coffee hits your mouth in the coziest way possible. There really is no better way to usher in autumn. However, there are, in fact, better ways to order up that PSL (gasp!). Sure, the standard drink is pretty much perfect as is, but with a few clever ordering tips you can take it up a few notches. Now, you might think, “No way. Pumpkin spiced lattes are God’s gift to Earth and to even attempt to tweak it is blasphemy.” Well, before you give us the cold shoulder, we implore you to at least give these tricks a try the next time you venture out to Dunkin’. You just might learn to see your pumpkin-spiced view of the world a little differently.

Embrace Oat Milk

Anyone who drinks oat milk knows that it has a sweeter, richer taste than standard cow’s milk. So, making this simple swap on your next PSL makes for a sweeter, richer sip. Listen, when you’re ordering a pumpkin-spiced anything, you’re looking for a sweet kick anyway, so why not kick it up a notch? If you’ve been a cow’s milk kind of person your whole life and feel hesitant to take the plunge, convince a friend to make the oat milk swap and take a sip of theirs.

Take A Protein Milk Plunge

Everyone seems to be obsessed with protein nowadays, including Dunkin’, so it makes sense the chain offers protein milk as a dairy substitution. So, if you’re the kind of person who loves pumpkin-spiced lattes while also staying conscious of your protein intake, this simple request is perfect. Just be prepared to shell out an extra buck for the swap.

Pumpkin Muffin Mix-In

Now this upgrade might be a little polarizing, but there are definitely people out there who will love it, so hear us out. Along with your PSL order, ask for a pumpkin muffin (assuming they’re not sold out, of course). Now crumble up the muffin with your hand and add the chunks directly into your latte and stir. The liquid will soak into the crumbs, making little drenched morsels of pumpkin nuggets, and the flavor of the muffin seeps out into the PSL, enhancing the drink’s flavor and giving you a drink that doubles as a dessert.
