Move over, pumpkin spice—there’s a new gourd in town. The butternut squash latte (yes, the BSL) is the fall drink you didn’t see coming, but absolutely should have. Creamy, warmly spiced, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat, it’s everything you love about the season in a single, sippable mug…and it’s about to make you question every PSL decision you’ve ever made.
