People love coffee. The average person drinks over 2 cups a
day. Why not switch it up when possible? Starbucks provides a seasonal
selection of coffee and non-coffee beverages that people can substitute for
their usual dark roast or vanilla lattes, which have helped them gain a massive
seasonal following (not to mention their new fall hot cups – cute). So I’m here
to give you the run down on delish fall-ish options to switch up your regular
coffee order.
1. The
old stand by – PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte)
This one has been around for ages,
but this year they enhanced their old recipe. Starbucks says, “Our signature espresso and
milk are highlighted by flavor notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to
create this incredible beverage that's a fall favorite. Enjoy it topped with
whipped cream and real pumpkin pie spices.” Basically an explosion of fall-ness
in your mouth. Get excited. Can be served hot or iced.
2. The rookie – Carmel Flan
Latte
This created a bit of buzz in the
coffee world (pun intended). This new drink is kind of a spin on the crème
brulee latte, except flan is just custard and brulee has a burnt sugar crust. Starbucks
says, “Espresso with steamed milk and caramel flavors of creamy flan. Topped
with caramel-infused whipped cream and caramel flan drizzle.” Now I haven’t
tried this one myself yet, but I hear its delicious. Maybe just adjust your
sugar addition..
3. The
Salted Caramel Mocha
I don’t know about you, but I do
not like mocha. Therefore this one is not my drink, but all of you chocolate
and coffee lovers out there behold! Salted Caramel has the tendency to make
everything better. Starbucks says, “Mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup are
combined with coffee and milk, then topped with sweetened whipped cream,
caramel drizzle and a blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt. Enjoy the flavors
of fall in every sip.” Sounds delicious, but to be honest, I have no idea what
turbinado is. So I used everyones BFF, Google. Apparently its sugar from pure
cane extract, which is kind of what I thought regular sugar is. Anyway, enjoy
one for me!
4. The
Toasted Graham Latte
This one sounds delicious – and
sweet. Based on a cookie and with added sugar and steamed milk, definitely not
for those of you who like your coffee black. Starbucks says, “Graham and sweet
cream meet steamed milk and our signature espresso, then are finished off with
a sprinkling of cinnamon graham crumbles for a less sweet perfect treat.” This
will be the next one I try, and I hope its not too sweet!
That seems to wrap it up! I’ve heard talk about a secret
menu, so maybe we can figure out ways to finagle a pumpkin spice frappuccino or
a flan mocha something or other. Fancy!
