This year, fall drink options are more abundant than ever before. The options are endless, but apple is taking the lead as my new personal favorite.
For me, when I think of the fall flavors coming back every year, my first thought is Starbucks.Â
You know her; you love her: the Pumpkin Cream Chai. The pumpkin cream chai is truly a fall classic and will never disappoint you. It is simply an iced chai layered with pumpkin cream cold foam (and adding cinnamon is never a bad idea). It is addictive.Â
If you like chai but aren’t necessarily craving pumpkin or cold foam, try this year’s Chaider, chai tea mixed with their strawberry acai base over ice.Â
Last but not least, for your next Starbucks order, there is a new banana flavor. My personal favorite is the iced Banana Bread Shaken Espresso (with caramel drizzle).Â
However, if you are wanting something different from Starbucks, here are some great options!
Frankenchai Matcha Latte from 7Brew
This is true innovation. A combination I never thought I’d need… a matcha and chai mix. It changes the way you think about matcha and gives it a very unique, fall flavor.
Pumpkin Cinnalicious Latte from Scooters
Scooters always delivers on the fall flavors, and the Pumpkin Cinnalicious Latte is no exception. Cinnamon is such an underrated fall flavor compared to pumpkin, so I love seeing the two paired together. It’s the perfect combination of warm, sweet flavors that makes fall drinks so good.
Witch’s Brew Alani
This is what some might call the best energy drink that’s ever existed: the Witch’s Brew Alani. I think about this flavor all year, and it truly is unique. I’m partial to drinks that taste very similar to other foods, and this drink does it perfectly. You can distinctly taste the caramel and the slightly sour apple flavor. You better go stock up before they sell out for the season!
To pair with the Witch’s Brew Alani, Alani released this year’s new seasonal sister flavor, Ruby Red, perfect for anyone with an energy drink sweet tooth. It’s definitely similar to the Witch’s Brew, but is more of a sweet apple flavor.Â
Pear Scare Bloom EnergyÂ
If anyone remembers the Redbull Winter Edition of 2023, pear cinnamon, this is the closest drink I’ve found thus far. I love a pear flavor for winter, and it can give you a nice break from all the pumpkin and apple flavors.Â
Crisp Apple Olipop
If you love apple flavors, you need to try this! It’s the perfect fall drink when you want something other than coffee or an energy drink. It has that crisp, sweet apple taste that just screams fall. It is definitely one to add to your fall drink rotation!
At the end of the day, you can never go wrong with a classic fall drink. Whether you’re team pumpkin, apple or a little bit of both, there’s something for everyone this season. And if all else fails, a hot apple cider will always do the trick.
