The biggest shakeup is around two new apple drinks, however. Step aside pumpkin, Apple Crisp Macchiato and Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato are here, along with another pumpkin favorite: Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Drink. Not sure what to order? Here’s everything you need to know about Starbucks’ new fall drinks and menu items.
What is in Starbucks’ Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew?
The 2020 darling of Starbucks’ fall drinks was obviously the Pumpkin Cold Brew, which is made with cold brew coffee and mixed with a few pumps of vanilla, then topped with a pumpkin cream cold foam and a few shakes of Starbucks’ signature pumpkin spice topping. The PSL—as it’s known to millennials and fall enthusiasts alike—has been around for 18 years, but this new pumpkin cold brew delivered a lower price tag and a lot of likes. A 16-ounce Grande Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew (which would be a Grande at Starbucks), will cost $4.45. How does that compare to the price for a Pumpkin Spice Latte? A Grande PSL is $4.95 and a Venti is $5.25. That’s some serious savings when you think about how many of these bad buys are sold—and consumed—during autumn.
What is in Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Drink?
Subtly sweet pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove are blended with coffee, cream and ice before being topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. Then there are the new Apple Crisp Macchiatos to try on Starbucks’ new fall menu.
What is in Starbucks’ Apple Crisp Macchiato?
Notes of apple and brown sugar come together with espresso, steamed milk and a caramelized spiced apple drizzle in the new Apple Crisp Macchiato. Too hot for that? It is August, after all. Opt for the iced version.
What is in Starbucks’ Iced Apple Crisp Macchiato?
The flavors of a gooey apple pie swirl into espresso, milk and ice. Topped with a caramelized spiced apple drizzle. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and the new Apple Crisp Macchiatos probably won’t outsell the Pumpkin Spice Latte anytime soon though. The PSL has claimed a loyal legion of groupies for over a decade. According to Starbucks statistics, it has sold 424 million cups in the U.S. since 2003. That’s some serious pumpkin spice love, people. To round out their fall menu, Starbucks is returning pumpkin-inspired snacks to go with your drink order. Pumpkin-flavored scones and cake pops are on the menu—and usually offered into the holiday season. When you’re ready to embrace the pumpkin flavors of fall—it is almost September after all—Starbucks has you covered.
