On the menu this yr is the legendary Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), the unique drink that began the pumpkin spice trend over twenty years ago, in addition to offerings just like the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai for those on the lookout for dairy-free alternatives.
“We are excited to introduce our customers to the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai,” said Rosalyn Batingan, beverage developer at Starbucks. in a press release. “This drink perfectly captures the taste and feel of fall. We combined creamy oat milk with notes of cinnamon, clove and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to complement the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar that go into the dairy-free cold foam topping.”
The beverage innovation continues with the Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, which Starbucks beverage developer Rosalyn Batingan describes as a drink that “Essence of the season.”
Starbucks’ most popular seasonal offering, the PSL, was introduced in 2003 and is served hot, iced or blended. The company claims it’s made with real pumpkin and Starbucks Signature Espresso, blended with steamed milk and a trio of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.

Dear Starbucks and Dunkin’: August is simply too early for pumpkin stuff. Please.
