The Best Trader Joe's Drinks Added In September 2026

This has been a great month for finds at Trader Joe's — perhaps appropriately, as this time of year is, after all, dedicated to the harvest. From the best pumpkin-related finds of September 2026 to the finest new Trader Joe's desserts added since last month, we've been all over everything new in the Fearless Flyer and have been making frequent trips to try out everything that's fresh and limited-time-only. The blessing (and, sadly, the curse) of shopping at Trader Joe's is that many items don't stick around for the long term ... the stock rotates with the change of the calendar to keep your choices interesting and to celebrate the bounty of the season. 

Of particular interest to us today are the many new drinks that have rolled out at Trader Joe's in September. From spiced coffees to give you a jolt of pumpkin-y goodness in the morning to beers that celebrate Oktoberfest, TJ's has you covered when it comes to anything you might pour in a mug or glass this autumn. Most — although not all — are distinctly autumnal, ensuring that you get the fall vibes you need to power productive days and nights to remember. Keep in mind that availability is subject to change. All pricing information was accurate as of this writing.

There's a difference between whiskey and whisky, and those in the know will appreciate that this spirit meets the strict qualifications of "Tennessee Whiskey" labeling. Corn mash is the secret to authenticity, but what you'll remember about this bottle is the sweet kiss of natural apple flavor. It's enjoyable for straight sipping, but it will lend something truly special to your autumnal cocktails, too. Caught a seasonal cold that's got you under the weather? An apple hot toddy will fix what ails you.

Spiced Apple Flavored Tennessee Whiskey is available for $12.99 per bottle. 

The seasonings that make up pumpkin spice blend aren't just scrumptious in coffee drinks; they also shine in this bottled espresso martini. Not only will you savor both the vodka and java that make up a typical espresso martini, but you'll also note the warming kiss of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove, along with a delicious vanilla note. We might pour a generous glug from this bottle into some decaf coffee for an after-dinner drink that's perfect for chilly nights. 

Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini sells for $9.99 per bottle. 

The fall edition of this raw kombucha is, as you might expect, flavored for fall enjoyment with hints of warming spices and carrot juice. It's name — Living in Gratitude — pays tribute to the rapidly-approaching Thanksgiving holiday. Most folks drinking kombucha, however, are interested in the claimed health benefit: better digestion thanks to the SCOBY "mother" and panoply of vitamins and minerals. Keep in mind how long opened kombucha really lasts if you don't drink it all in one go. 

GT's Synergy Living in Gratitude Raw Kombucha is available for $3.49 per bottle. 

The beer festival of Oktoberfest has historical origins, and you'll be able to toast your friends like you're in Munich with this canned brew. It's malty profile contains strong notes of caramel that really come to life when paired with BBQ meats like the last burgers of the season before you stash your grill for the winter. We like brats just about any time of year, but we might break out a few links just for pairing with this six-pack. Trader Joe's recommends you serve your beer chilled.

Josephsbrau Oktoberfest is sold for $6.99 per case. 

The onset of autumn practically compels one to drink pumpkin spice coffee; it's a known fact. You could waste time pondering the differences between the respective PSLs of Dunkin and Starbucks, or you could grab a bag of this coffee and enjoy your own daily brew to scratch that seasonal itch. These spiced Arabica beans also feature the tang of orange peels and the sweetness of vanilla. Add enough cream and sugar, and you'd never know that you weren't drinking an $8 drive-thru creation. 

Pumpkin Spice Coffee is available for $9.99 per bag. 

What makes this spiced cider special? Other than apple juice and natural spices and flavors, it doesn't contain added colors, flavors, preservatives, or sugars. That means that you are basically drinking the distilled essence of fall when your pour yourself a glass. This cider is nonalcoholic, making it an ideal drink for teetotalers and the underaged at harvest parties — but consider the best alcohol to mix with apple cider if you want to jazz it up. 

One bottle of Trader Joe's Spiced Cider sells for $4.49. 

Autumn's arrival might have you considering the best toppings for squash soup, but how about squash purée in your spiked cider? It's more likely than you might think — you'll also find apple juice and pumpkin purée in this drink. The resulting brew is deeply "fall-ish," making it perfect for cracking a can in front of a football game or gulping after a long day of chores under the autumnal sun. Despite all the gourd-acious flavors, this cider is still intensely refreshing. 

One case of The Gourd Tree Pumpkin Cider sells for $10.99.
