Starbucks has to be the most famous coffee shop in the USA. Serving millions of customers every day, Starbucks brings out the fall menu every year to complement the whole Halloween/fall season vibe. Offering some of the tastiest drinks, both hot and cold, Starbucks is the go-to coffee shop for millions of Americans. So while you take out your cozy sweaters and scarfs, we bring you some of the best Starbucks Fall drinks which are a must-try.
Starbucks Fall drinks
Apple Crisp Macchiato:
Starbucks added the Apple Crisp Macchiato to their fall lineup a couple of years ago and as the name suggests, the drink has the base flavor of apple, paired with cinnamon and caramel which make the drink taste absolutely divine. The taste is close to an apple pie and since it is a macchiato, the espresso taste is slightly overpowering. However, it does not diminish the flavors of the fall.
Pumpkin spice latte:
Who hasn’t heard of the infamous Pumpkin spice latte? The drink is enriched with flavors of warm pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Paired with warm milk and a whipped cream topping, the Pumpkin spice latte is a drink to die for. Providing you a warm hug of perfectly balanced spice and sweetness, everybody has to try this drink. After all, it is famous for a reason.
Caramel apple spice:
Starbucks claims that the caramel apple spice comes from freshly pressed natural apple juice that is sweetened with a rich caramel sauce and cinnamon syrup. While this drink isn’t very famous, it has to be one of the tastiest drinks on the menu. The aftertaste replicates exactly what one would feel after biting into a freshly baked apple pie. For people who like to experiment with their drinks, it is suggested to add a few pumps of vanilla syrup on top of the drink which would give a nice hint of vanilla ice cream flavor.
Chai tea latte:
The chai tea latte is close to the pumpkin spice latte on the scale of popularity. The rich flavors of black tea, cardamom, ginger, sugar, and cinnamon make this drink the perfect choice for a chilly fall night. Take a drive in the night with a chai tea latte in your hand and it would be nothing less than a cherished memory. Made with hot steamed milk, the chai tea latte is destined to make you feel warm and cozy on a chilly fall night.
Pumpkin spice macchiato:
We’ve all heard of the Starbucks “secret menu” in numerous TikTok videos, social media posts and whatnot. Well, the Pumpkin spice macchiato is a drink out of that secret menu. Made with milk, pumpkin sauce, and vanilla sauce, the Pumpkin spice macchiato is a great refreshing drink to have in the fall season while sitting in front of a warm fire. To have more fun with the drink, pair it with some warm roasted marshmallows.
Cinnamon dolce latte:
This one is for the people with a sweet tooth. Bringing immense sweetness to the table with just a hint of that tasteful cinnamon spice, the smooth milky latte is a must-have. The special cinnamon-dolce syrup and sprinkles add the sweetness to the drink that is definitely not recommended for people with a low sugar tolerance.
Pumpkin spice flat white:
The idea of flat white drinks originated in Australia and Starbucks borrowed the concept and added its special twist to it. Made from ristretto shots, steamed whole milk, and a latte art dot, Starbucks made the drink special by adding their famous pumpkin spin. While the drink sounds tasty already, the special pumpkin twist made the drink stand out from the rest. The drink is high in sweetness just like the cinnamon dolce latte.
CONCLUSION:
Starbucks is the most famous coffee shop all around the world and it offers a large variety of different drinks to choose from. Since the fall season is the time for Halloween, Starbucks introduces its fall lineup every year to celebrate the joy of the upcoming holidays and winters. While the fall menu offers a large selection of drinks to choose from, the abovementioned drinks are some of the top sellers and have to be tried by every Starbucks fan.
