14 Insanely Delicious Drinks To Try In Toronto If You're So Over PSL
PSL, who?

With the weather starting to cool down, everyone is on a mission to remain as warm as possible. Cooler days mean scarfs, big sweaters, cute boots and of course, hot drinks. Nothing like the perfect hot drink to warm you right up on a chilly day. Each sip is like a warm hug...very much needed warm hug.
The drawback is that literally everywhere you turn it's all about the PSL, and like many, I am sure you are SO over it. People forget that their is so much more to fall drinks than the PSL. Here is a reminder to all those out there who are in search of a warm drink that has NOTHING to do with pumpkin spice!
