As summer winds down and the familiar autumn chill fills the air, we can’t help but feel nostalgic with memories of jumping in leaves, visiting the pumpkin patch and cozying up with sips of fall flavours.
Since its introduction in 2003, the return of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) marks the unofficial start of fall for many customers. Fall fans can celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beloved beverage with their first sip of the season when the fall menu returns to stores on Thursday, August 24, including the return of PSL, the launch of two new seasonal beverages, and the return of the fan-favourite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato. Here’s everything you need to know:
Pumpkin Spice Latte
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is Starbucks most popular seasonal beverage and is enjoyed by customers around
the world. The handcrafted beverage combines Starbucks Signature Espresso and steamed milk with the
celebrated flavour combination of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, the PSL is available hot, iced or blended.
Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
New this year is the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte, a beverage that was inspired by a popular customer and barista customization. This creamy chai tea latte pairs a rich blend of spiced chai notes with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
The fan-favourite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew also returns to the menu for a fifth year, crafted with
Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.
Iced Apple Crisp Oat Shaken Espresso
Joining the fall lineup this year is the new Iced Apple Crisp Oat Shaken Espresso, which combines Starbucks® Blonde Espresso with notes of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, shaken together and topped with oat beverage for a smooth and balanced sip that is full of fall flavor.
“The warm, gooey taste of apple crisp paired with a cup of coffee meld perfectly to unveil a cozy beverage
customers have come to know and love at Starbucks each fall. The new Iced Apple Crisp Oat Shaken Espresso features creamy oat that perfectly complements the light roast flavours of Starbucks Blonde Espresso,” said Starbucks beverage developer Billy Altieri.
Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato
Customers can also enjoy the returning Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato, featuring layered flavours of apple,
cinnamon, and brown sugar combined with a spiced apple drizzle to create a delicious, fall flavoured espresso beverage available hot, iced and blended.
