5 Best Starbucks Drinks to Try this Fall

Although the first day of fall was September 22, the temperature just started getting cooler at Elon. Starbucks’ fall drinks are the perfect pair to these crisp autumn mornings. Everyone knows the “basic” favorite, the pumpkin spice latte, but below you’ll find a list of some lesser known, but equally tasty fall drinks.

Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte

A chai tea latte already tastes like fall with hints of cinnamon, but the pumpkin addition makes it that much better. A chai tea latte is perfect for those who don’t love coffee, as it has a lot less caffeine but more flavor than a classic tea. Enjoy the pumpkin chai tea latte hot or cold this fall!

Salted Caramel Mocha

The salted caramel mocha is another limited edition drink this fall. With a combination of toffee nut and mocha syrup, this drink is topped with a caramel drizzle and a pinch of sea salt. You can finish off this fall treat by topping it with whipped cream as well. Don’t like your coffee hot? This drink is popular in frappuccino form as well!

Maple Pecan Latte

This fall favorite latte is blended with flavors of maple syrup, pecan, and brown butter, then topped with a sugar coating. This drink is a new twist from your typical, boring morning coffee—it’s like sipping warm maple syrup.

Medicine Ball

Although this secret menu item can be ordered all year long, it should be a staple during flu season. Also known as the “cold buster,” this warm drink can serve as your own miracle cold cure. The drink’s ingredients are half steamed lemonade, half hot water, jade citrus mint green tea, peach tranquility tea, and a pump of peppermint. Combat your cold at Starbucks with the medicine ball!
