Stop what you’re doing, the sun may be shining, but we’re firmly heading into our autumnal era, as the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte is officially arriving in stores from today.
Yep, you read that correctly, Starbucks is starting the best season of the year off early, with Starbucks Rewards members able to order the iconic beverage in stores from today (8th August).
And to keep up with the ever changing British weather, you can get it as the classic hot beverage which features Starbucks signature espresso which is then combined with a pumpkin spice flavour sauce and steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and a spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. You can also get an iced edition of the drink or blended as a Pumpkin Spice Creme Frappuccino. Honestly, can we just get all three?
It’s hard to believe but Pumpkin Spice has been around for more than 20 years, after being developed by Starbucks’ beverage developer Peter Dukes. On behalf of all PSL girlies everywhere, we thank you for your services Peter.
In order to become a Starbucks Rewards member all you need to do is download and sign up to the app (for free!). You can then use the app to order in store or order ahead of time, so your PSL is ready and waiting for you on your way to the office or uni.
And the good news doesn’t stop there. The autumnal menu will be arriving in Starbucks stores in a matter of weeks on 22nd August, when the first items will be available. And then by 5th September the full food menu will also be in stores.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte is available in selected stores for Starbucks Rewards members from today.
