Top 10 Fall Flavor Fusions for Sweater Weather!

Capture the autumnal spirit in vapes, edibles, and infused pre-rolls with classic fall flavor fusions.

Autumn is in sight and the crowds are calling for fall flavors! Sure, flavors like straight-up pumpkin or apple are classics. However, if you really want to tap into seasonal excitement, then you’ve got to start thinking about fun flavor fusions that speak to the spirit of the season. 

Think brisk hay rides with a steaming cup of mulled cider, crispy apple turnovers fresh from the oven, spiced pumpkin pie, and MORE. It’s all about crafting flavor fusions that capture seasonal memories, vibes, and traditions.

From vapes and infused pre-rolls to a host of edibles, this is the season to get creative with limited-edition flavors! Looking for inspiration? 

Get inspired by TEN of our favorite fall flavor fusions and turn your seasonal products into best-sellers customers want all year long.

1. Marshmallow + Chocolate = S’mores!

For such a simple dessert, there’s an awful lot of debate about how to prepare S’mores. Do you barely let your marshmallow kiss the fire? Or do you let them blaze until blackened? What’s your strategy to achieve that optimal ratio of gooey and crunchy? Do you like your chocolate runny and molten?

Whatever the case, we all know that s’mores are crunchy and creamy, rich and indulgent, and best enjoyed around a crackling bonfire with good company. 

Want to nail the flavors of honey graham cracker, pillowy marshmallow, and decadent chocolate? Blend our Marshmallow Puff, Molten Chocolate Cake, and Honey Chaps for that perfect S’mores flavor fusion!

2. Go BIG With Seasonal Donuts

Admit it, your eyes light up at the sight of a fresh box of donuts. You might quietly enjoy a donut in the breakroom, scarf one down on a roadtrip, or scramble out of bed bright and early for that first batch at the donut shop. From traditional rings and long johns to donut holes and bear claws, donuts just slap.

The best part is there’s a WORLD of seasonal donut flavors to choose from! Do you long for those Apple Cider Donuts that only appear once the weather gets cold? Maybe you want to evoke the spooky Halloween spirit with sticky caramel? Plus, you can’t go wrong with a classic jelly-filled donut ANY time of year. 

Seriously, people go nuts for donuts! Start with our Classic Glazed Donut and create your favorite donut flavor with blends like Spiced Apple Cider or Strawberry Jam!

3. Pumpkin Spice Latte Anyone?

Whether you’re looking forward to PSL season or rolling your eyes, there’s no denying the Pumpkin Spice Latte has close ties to sweater weather, chilly strolls through the park, and crunchy autumn leaves. Honestly, we get it! 

When that first sweet hit of warm spices and creamy latte hits our tongue, we suddenly want to stay inside and rewatch Gilmore Girls, Remember the Titans, and Dead Poets Society. Something about cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger paired with a silky, invigorating latte just makes you give in to that seasonal sense of whimsy.

Start with fall favorite Pumpkin Pie and layer blends like Orange Chai Latte or Spiced Carrot Cake on top. Want a unique spin on the PSL? Let’s collab!

4. A Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll, PLEASE!

Pumpkins are so cemented into autumn lore that we HAVE to include a pumpkin inspired baked good! It would have felt wrong without it. Plus, there’s just nothing better on a crisp autumn morning than a hot cinnamon roll fresh from the oven.

Just picture that soft dough, the swirl of spicy cinnamon and sugar, and then that perfect drizzle of icing. Add some Pumpkin Pie and make it a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll OR get creative and craft a Pistachio Cinnamon Roll or even a Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll!

Combine Pumpkin Pie with blends reminiscent of baked goods! We’re talking about Spiced Carrot Cake, Red Velvet Cake, and MORE. Just make sure to play up those classic cinnamon flavors.

5. TONS of Turnovers!

Yes, perfectly crisp apples picked from the orchard are a delight. Cherries plucked right from the plant are obviously delicious. However, there’s just no comparison to that first bite of flaky pastry and perfectly baked fruit in a fresh, hot turnover.

Thinking of your great grandmother’s Cherry Turnover recipe? Shamelessly craving those deep-fried Apple Turnovers from the place with the yellow arches? From tart green apples and sweet cherries to peaches and cream, we’ve got an orchard full of flavors to fuse together for your favorite turnover!

Start with the base of buttery pastry in our Pot of Gold blend! Fuse it with Electric Green Apple for a TART delight, Caramel Apple for an extra sweet kick, or Black Cherry Noir for the ultimate cherry turnover flavor.

6. Set the Thanksgiving Table with Cranberry Orange

We rarely eat cranberry sauce outside of Thanksgiving, and it’s a damn shame! Cranberry lovers have to wait all year to enjoy this seasonal side dish, when it would be a phenomenal pairing for a variety of savory dishes… like turkey. Or mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, and green bean casserole. 

Ok, so maybe it actually IS perfect for Thanksgiving, and its power to evoke the holiday is POTENT. That being said, flavor fusions inspired by this iconic seasonal dish can still be nostalgic while generating excitement. 

Take Cranberry Cheer and make classic combos! Orange Tsunami will create a vibrant Cranberry Orange, while something like Wild Cherry makes cranberries sweeter and more tart. Don’t be afraid to break the mold, though! Peachberry Pear adds juicy fruit flavors to those tart little berries.

7. Pour a Glass of Rainbow Sherbet Punch!

If you’re from the midwest and attended a large community event as a child, this just might transport you back in time. From family reunions and baby showers to local craft fairs and town hall meetings, Rainbow Sherbet Punch evokes a very specific time and a very specific place.

You’ll suddenly remember that ornate glass punch bowl and the sound the ladle made as you scooped out a serving. You’d admire the pastel-colored sherbet foam, the fizzy ginger ale bubbles, and its high-intensity sweetness would send you bouncing off the walls for the rest of the day.

Start with Rainbow Sherbert to bring this regional flavor relic back to life. Add Ginger Ale Mist for the bubbles, and then put your own spin on it with blends like Apricot Sunray, Sakura Blossom, or Passionfruit Pleaser.

8. Speaking of Seasonal Beverages, Let’s Talk Mocktails

We’ve mentioned a few beverage flavors, but we have yet to dive into the world of mocktails! Whether it’s a sense of seasonal cheer or a salve for seasonal depression (That’s actually not funny. Take care of yourselves, people!), we all deserve a fancy little drink sometimes.

Plus, flavor fusions let you recreate both iconic and modern mocktail recipes with seasonal twists. Mulled cider, anyone? How about a Pumpkin Pie Sunrise or an Apple Cider Sangria? We don’t know about you, but we’re SO READY for a Cranberry Mojito VAPE!

Combine Spiced Apple Cider with Sundrenched Moscato for that Apple Cider Sangria, blend Cranberry Cheer with Mojito for a Cranberry Mojito, and mix Apricot Sunray with Pumpkin Pie for a Pumpkin Pie Sunrise!

9. Treat Yourself to a Seasonal Slice of Cake!

There’s a cake for every palate and every occasion. Cheesecake? Perfect. Birthday cake? Always! A slice of German Plum Cake? Sign us up! 

Oh, and let’s not forget those exquisite seasonal cake flavors that start tantalizing us the moment autumn sets in. Sure, we’ve got CAKE flavors, but now you can bake up something that’s entirely your own!

Add Bloodiest Orange to Molten Chocolate Cake for a Chocolate Orange Cake, combine Spiced Carrot Cake with Frosted Sugar Plum for German Plum Cake, or fuse Lemon Cheesecake with Cranberry Cheer for a seriously tart slice.

10. Who Brought the Banana Cream Pie?

It might be an unexpected addition to the Thanksgiving table, but there’s just something so perfect about a slice during the holidays. 

Maybe it’s the novelty of a tropical banana when it’s cold outside or simply that we crave anything sweet and creamy during the holidays. Whatever the case, the flavor is immediately recognizable and undeniably delicious. 

Create your own Banana Cream Pie flavor with a base of Banana Candy! Layer Caramel Apple for ribbons of buttery caramel and sweet apples OR complement those bananas with the dose of freshness in Strawberry Banana Creme.
