As the leaves start to change colors, the epitome of fall for many is a flavored coffee to get them in the fall spirit. Whether it’s a morning pick-me-up or afternoon boost, Starbucks is the perfect place to satisfy your tastebuds. As many Starbucks-lovers may know, they released their fall edition drinks and added them to the menu starting in late August. August may be a little early to release fall drinks…but that didn’t stop avid Starbies lovers from rushing to try them. Many people decided to take a trip to Starbucks to try these fall delicacies to get them in the mood for sweater weather. Here is a rundown of the 2021 fall Starbucks drinks:

Apple Crisp Macchiato:

The newest and most controversial Starbucks fall drink is the apple crisp macchiato. This drink can also be served iced and is topped with an apple drizzle. The brown sugar and apple flavors taste like gooey apple pie to some, but others don’t think the coffee and fruitiness of the apple pair well together. This drink can accompany you while picking apples, or snuggling while reading a book – but for some, the only place this drink will see is the trash. 

Pumpkin Spice Latte:

This classic pumpkin spice latte can be made iced or hot, depending on what type of mood you’re in. The drink is made with Starbucks’ signature espresso and your choice of milk. This versatile drink also includes the fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove – excellent for all fall occasions this year. 

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew:

This cold brew is perfect if you want a taste of fall while the weather is still warm outside. It is served over ice and sweetened with vanilla syrup, then topped off with pumpkin cream cold foam and pumpkin spice topping. The fluffy cold foam blends perfectly with the concentrated cold brew…*chef’s kiss.* Who wouldn’t want this delicious cold foam topping on their drink?
