As a former Starbucks barista and trainer, I have had the privilege of trying out many of the seasonal drinks that Starbucks has to offer. With the arrival of fall, Starbucks has once again rolled out their fall drinks menu for 2024, featuring new and returning favorites that are sure to get you in the autumn spirit.
The first wave of fall drinks includes the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai and the Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White. These drinks are a refreshing twist on classic fall flavors, featuring apple brown sugar syrup and honey blend syrup for a sweet and comforting taste. The Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai is made with oat milk and topped with a non-dairy foam, while the Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White combines blonde espresso, almond milk, and apple brown sugar foam for a creamy and delicious treat.
While these drinks may not be entirely new to the Starbucks menu, they are a welcome addition to the fall lineup. The apple crisp flavor has been a popular choice in previous years, and it’s no surprise that Starbucks has decided to bring it back once again. Both the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai and the Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White are sure to be a hit with customers looking for a taste of fall in their coffee.
In addition to these first wave drinks, Starbucks has also announced the upcoming release of the Iced Oatmilk Pecan Crunch Latte and the Salted Pecan Cream Cold Brew later in the season. These drinks are sure to be a hit with pecan lovers everywhere, offering a unique and flavorful twist on traditional fall beverages.
Overall, I was impressed with the first wave of fall drinks from Starbucks. Both the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai and the Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White were delicious and well-balanced, offering a refreshing take on classic fall flavors. While I may not be rushing to order them just yet (after all, it’s still technically summer), I am eagerly anticipating the release of the pecan drinks and can’t wait to give them a try.
