Five friends in scarves compare five unbranded seasonal drinks at a pumpkin-decorated outdoor café table surrounded by colorful autumn leaves.

The Fall Drink Meetup

When fall drink season arrived, five friends each visited a different well-known coffee or café chain to try one newly introduced seasonal drink. The five drink names in this puzzle are fictional and are not connected to the chains’ real menus. To dodge the morning rush, the friends staggered their visits at 20-minute intervals, then met later at a cozy autumn patio to compare notes. Use the clues to match each friend with the store visited, fictional fall drink ordered, and visit time.
