Starbucks Drinks to Buy This Fall Instead of the Pumpkin Spice Latte

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

Fall is approaching and that can only mean one thing: pumpkin everything.  The pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks has been the fall staple for years, but it’s time we broke the chain, ladies!  Here’s a list of great Starbucks drinks to try instead of the pumpkin spice latte:

1. Chai Latte

This is my favorite drink to get, no matter the season. Iced or hot, this drink is amazing. It tastes like spices and every sip you take just warms you up.

2. Cinnamon Dolce Latte

When I think of fall, cinnamon is one of the main spices that pops into my mind.  The cinnamon dolce latte tastes like cinnamon sugar (but better.)

3. Caramel Macchiato

The caramel macchiato is another Starbucks staple of mine.  Personally, the iced version of this drink tastes better than the warm version, but both are still yummy.  Get the drink with soymilk instead of regular milk to make it even tastier! 

4. Horchata Almond Milk Frappuccino 

Guys. Horchata is amazing. It’s a Central America drink that’s a blend of spices, rice, almonds and vanilla.  This flavor, combined with the fact that it comes in a frappuccino, makes it the most tempting new addition to the Starbucks menu.

5. Caramel Apple Spice

Imagine drinking a warm cup of apple juice, but with the flavor of cloves and warm melted caramel all in one cup.  That’s exactly how the Starbucks caramel apple spice drink tastes. It’s been a favorite drink of mine since the beginning of high school.
