This coffee drink is usually made with a mix of traditional fall spice flavors (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and sometimes allspice), steamed milk, espresso, and often sugar, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice. Since 2015, it has also contained a small amount of pumpkin puree.

Nostalgia is the reason for the season which creates the infusion of pumpkin spice flavor into all kinds of treats, according to livescience.com.
Many families eat pumpkin pie and other similarly spiced treats in the fall. So, it’s understandable that we’ve come to associate these smells with the fall holidays. And that smell association then taps into our sense of nostalgia… the sweet smell of pumpkin spice might remind us of times we helped grandma bake pumpkin pie during Thanksgiving.
