In case you missed it, sweater weather is finally upon us! And no fall meal is complete without a hot and spicy beverage to level up the cozy factor.

From apple cider and pumpkin spice coffee to hot cocoa and seasonal teas, the selection of autumnal beverages is seemingly endless — especially at Trader Joe's. In addition to its new lineup of fall goodies — which includes Caramel Apple Dipping Kits, Pumpkin Cheesecake Croissants and Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies — the California-based grocer has rolled out a seasonal drink collection featuring both new and returning items.

Because it's always easier to shop with a plan, here are 6 fall beverages to consider adding to your shopping list before your next TJ's run. 

This list to Salon Food's growing library of supermarket guides. If you're on the hunt for something sweet, check out the 6 fall bakery items to try from TJ's right now.

This spicy herbal blend is made with rooibos tea and spices, including cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. Despite having no caffeine, it's a lovely morning pick-me-up that pairs well with TJ's Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread or Spiced Pumpkin Madeleine Cookies.

If you're looking to enjoy a cup of tea in a more creative fashion, try fermenting the blend in maple syrup like this Redditor.   

TJ's Non-Dairy Pumpkin Oat Beverage is only available during the fall months, so be sure to pick up a carton (or two) on your next grocery trip. It's made from hydrolyzed oats and water that are then mixed with pumpkin purée, natural pumpkin-spice flavor, cane sugar and a sprinkle of sea salt for balance.

This oat drink can be added to seasonal smoothies or cereal, such as TJ's Maple Pecan Clusters Cereal. It can also be used as a creamer in both coffee and blends of black tea.

TJ's Spiced Cider, a seasonal specialty, ramps up traditional apple cider with spices such as allspice, cinnamon and cloves. It can be enjoyed straight out of the bottle, over ice or warmed up. If you're looking to imbibe, it would also pair well with bourbon, brandy or rum. 

In fact, this spiced beverage can be combined with hard liquor and citrus to make a "Spiked Spiced Cider" — here's the recipe. Simply warm the Spiced Cider in a small saucepan over medium heat and slowly stir in a shot of TJ's Sour Mash Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey (or your brand of choice) and the juice of a mandarin orange. Garnish with mandarin slices and a cinnamon stick.

Made from ripe and fresh whole apples, TJ's Sparkling Apple Cider is a delicious non-alcoholic alternative that you can bring to any fall dinner party. This beverage pairs exceptionally well with both sweet and savory meals, from apple pie and pumpkin pancakes to squash soup and oven-roasted root vegetables.
