Starting Tuesday, Aug. 30, the iconic Starbucks <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/418/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Flattes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL)</a>, is back for its 19th year. The handcrafted beverage combines Starbucks® Signature Espresso and steamed milk with flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to complement the real pumpkin in the sauce. Topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices, PSL is available hot, iced or blended at U.S. stores throughout the season while supplies last.

Also available for a limited time is the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123113/iced?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fcold-coffees%2Fcold-brews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew</a>, which returns to the menu for a fourth year. Crafted with Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, the fan-favorite fall sip is topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice.

First introduced to the fall menu last year, the Apple Crisp Macchiato returns with a twist – now made with creamy oatmilk and Starbucks® Blonde Espresso as the standard recipe. Inspired by the flavors of the warm and gooey apple crisp paired with a cup of coffee, the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123563/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Fmacchiatos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato </a>combines layered flavors of apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar with a spiced apple drizzle.

“Crafting the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato with Starbucks® Blonde Espresso gives the beverage a soft and smooth foundation that ties all the flavors together,” said Harvey Rojas Mora, Starbucks beverage developer. “The oatmilk adds a creaminess and brings forward the oat flavors of a traditional apple crisp topping.”

The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato is available hot, iced and blended at U.S. Starbucks stores throughout the season while supplies last.

New Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew joins PSL and other fall favorites in Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada starting Aug. 27.

Falling leaves aside – the return of Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) represents the true start of the autumn for many customers. And this year, Starbucks has declared August 27 as the first day of fall with the return of the fan-favorite PSL and the new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, both made with real pumpkin.

Since PSL first made its <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2014/starbucks-first-pumpkin-spice-latte/">debut in 2003</a>, more than 424 million Pumpkin Spice Lattes have been served in the United States. It’s become a cultural phenomenon, embraced by the “beleafers” of the <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2Fgroups%2FLeafRakersSociety&amp;data=02%7C01%7CSarah.Baum%40edelman.com%7C6c6f1f2b07c54e5bf82108d5fd35a24d%7Cb824bfb3918e43c2bb1cdcc1ba40a82b%7C0%7C0%7C636693329158934927&amp;sdata=Gf2437n%2FGicXvsZnIj1vdonRQ%2FhK%2B84l7jRRXWLQXFg%3D&amp;reserved=0">Leaf Rakers Society</a>, an online group of fall fanatics to celebrate their favorite season. The group of more than 30,000 has been in a high state of anticipation for the flavors of fall in stores and <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2019/new-starbucks-pumpkin-spice-creamer-coming-to-u-s-grocery-stores/">at home</a>, posting an average of 330 times per day over the past month.

Following in the footsteps of this iconic fall beverage, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is the first new pumpkin coffee beverage to join the Starbucks menu in 16 years and a testament to Starbucks customers’ love of cold coffee (50 percent of beverage orders are cold beverages, up from 37 percent in 2013). After trying 10 variations of the beverage, the Starbucks R&amp;D team settled on a recipe that starts with <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/brewed-coffee/cold-brew-coffee">Starbucks Cold Brew</a> and vanilla, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice topping.

“With customer excitement for PSL sweeping the nation each fall, we wanted to create a new beverage that combines two of our customers’ favorite things, pumpkin spices and cold brew,” said Matthew Thornton from Starbucks beverage R&amp;D team. “With each sip of Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, you’ll enjoy the familiar, creamy, flavor of pumpkin spice followed by a refreshing taste of cold brew, for a cool beverage that will have you wishing it was fall all year long.”

PSL and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew will be available in Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada for a limited time, along with other returning fall favorites starting tomorrow, August 27.
