Try saying that one five times fast. The name may be difficult to pronounce, but Starbucks’ newest apple-flavored beverage is anything but difficult to enjoy. An update on the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato, the new version is made with less milk than its predecessor, making it a great choice for those who prefer autumnal coffee drinks that actually taste like coffee.
Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
If coffee isn’t your jam, you’ll be psyched to discover that Starbucks has finally included a tea-based beverage in its official fall lineup. The brand’s signature chai concentrate pairs perfectly with pumpkin cold foam cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice for an indulgent beverage brimming with fall flavors.
