Every year, Starbucks fans count down the day until they can get a Pumpkin Spice Latte which – surprise – is now. But, there are other tasty Starbucks fall drinks that have nothing to do with pumpkin.
There’s the new Apple Crisp Macchiato and it’s lesser-known cousin the Apple Crisp Frappuccino. And, there’s plenty of Halloween drinks like the Witches Brew and fall secret menu drinks that incorporate autumnal flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, apple, and caramel.
Sometimes, it’s good to explore things outside of the pumpkin patch. Which is how we got stuck in this maze. Can someone send up a smoke signal?
Starbucks Fall Drinks from the Official Menu
1. Pumpkin Spice Latte
The PSL is the poster child of fall, so we had to include. It’s the drink equivalent of the Ugg-wearing, pumpkin patch-traipsing, apple picking individuals. It’s basic for a reason. You can order your Pumpkin Spice Latte iced, hot, or as a Frappuccino.
2. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
If you’re more of a milk with your coffee person rather than a coffee with your milk person, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew may entice you more than the PSL.
The cold brew is sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with a pumpkin-infused cream cold foam before being sprinkled with pumpkin spice topping. Sub pumpkin spice syrup in for the vanilla if you’re feeling a little… spicy. Sprinkle in some of those ghost peppers you keep in your purse if you’re feeling really spicy.
3. Apple Crisp Macchiato
Do you hate pumpkins? Then you’ll be happy to know Starbucks debuted a new fall drink: the Apple Crisp Macchiato which includes a new apple brown sugar syrup and a spice apple drizzle. And a suggestion that you should meditate more.
4. Caramel Apple Spice
The Caramel Apple Spice is essentially hot apple juice spiked with cinnamon dolce syrup. It also has a healthy drizzle of caramel sauce and whipped cream, so maybe don’t get this one the morning of your next physical.
