It is almost time to ditch the lemonade and order a PSL or pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. While it may still be hot outside, you know that you cannot wait for crisp mornings, fall leaves, and a reason to buy a hot cup of joe. But it’s not just any old cup of coffee that we want to have in our hands; we want our deliciously brewed Starbucks coffee that has revolutionized the seasons into frothy mounds of pumpkin, peppermint, passionfruit, and strawberry.
“Fall at Starbucks brings customers back to the nostalgic flavors of the season and our team used that inspiration to create a new flavor that celebrates those feelings of comfort and familiarity,” Starbucks’ senior manager of research and development Reagan Powell said on the company’s website.
I mean, what can be a better way to announce fall than with the flavors of a yummy pumpkin pie?
Get ready to perfect your order for Starbucks’ new fall drinks. We’ve got the lowdown for you, so you can make the right drink order for the ideal fall coffee experience.
