New Seasonal Beverages and Desserts: Starbucks Edition

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

What better way to enjoy the fall weather than to try some new seasonal drinks and amazing desserts from Starbucks?! Listed below will be some of Starbucks must-try items from their seasonal collection of beverages and snacks. Enjoy!

 

Pumpkin Spice Latte

One of Starbucks most famous seasonal drinks is turning 15! Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte combines espresso and steamed milk with real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. This beverage is then topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. It’s the perfect combination of spices and cream.

 

 

Salted Caramel Mocha

This seasonal favorite blends mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup, combined with espresso and milk. This sweet and salty beverage is topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt. If you want a more milkshake-ish feel, this drink can also be ordered on ice!

 

Teavana® Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte

On Sept. 5, Starbucks launched their newest seasonal drinks. If you’re into a creamy tea, this is the beverage for you! Lightly sweet chai meets pumpkin spice to create a decadent combination of flavor and comfort. This beverage is perfect for the cold setting in. It is also much lighter in consistency compared to the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

 

Apple Cider Doughnut

Not only is Starbucks known for their beverages, but they have also launched new seasonal treats!  This apple cider flavored doughnut is definitely one to indulge in during the fall season. The flavor is balanced with sweet vanilla icing. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar gives it its crunchy finish on top!

 

Maple Pecan Muffin

This seasonal treat speaks for itself. Nothing screams fall like a sweet- buttery flavor such as pecans and maple syrup!
