Starbucks finally made an announcement about when it will be releasing the popular Pumpkin Spice Latte drinks. The beverages are not new but they are part of the coffee chain’s seasonal drink lineup so they only appear on the menu at certain times.
For this year, Starbucks revealed that the crowd-favorite drink, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, will be making its comeback in stores starting Aug. 24. On top of this, the coffee company will also release new baked goodies for customers to enjoy their drinks with.
The PSL is definitely the beverage that most customers are craving for the fall season and since many are already asking for it at this time of the year, Starbucks is bringing it back now. It was said that this year’s release is the earliest time for the PSL compared to the previous years.
According to Fox Business, Starbucks will be offering the returning fall flavor to customers in the United States and Canada. Fans will be able to get their fill of the Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew starting this week.
The drinks have been around for almost two decades now and the company was said to have sold more than 500 million Pumpkin Spice Latte since it was first introduced in 2003. In any case, the pumpkin scone and pumpkin cream cheese muffin are also coming as part of the seasonal baked goodies for the fall. These baked items will join the Pumpkin Loaf which is available year-round, to complement the PSL drinks.
“The iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte combines Starbucks signature espresso and steamed milk with the celebrated flavor combination of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove,” Starbucks explained in the press release. “The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is crafted with Starbucks Cold Brew, sweetened with vanilla-flavored syrup, topped with a pumpkin cream cold foam made with real pumpkin, and dusted with a pumpkin spice topping.”
The hot or cold PSL is typically served with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. Starbucks stated that these will be in its stores across the U.S. and Canada for a limited time only. Finally, there was no exact date but it was mentioned that they will be on the menu board until supplies last.
