This year's menu features the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL), the original drink that sparked the pumpkin spice craze more than two decades ago, plus offerings including Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, for those looking for non-dairy options.
“We are excited to introduce our customers to the new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy,” said Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. in a statement. “This drink perfectly captures the taste and feel of fall. We've combined creamy oat milk with notes of cinnamon, cloves and other warm baking spices from our chai tea to compliment the layered flavors of apple, cinnamon and brown sugar , which are topped with cold non-dairy foam.”
Beverage innovation continues with Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai, described by Starbucks beverage developer Rosalyn Batingan as a drink that captures “the essence of the season.”
Starbucks' most popular seasonal offering, the PSL, was first introduced in 2003 and is served hot, cold or mixed. The company claims it's made from real pumpkin and Starbucks Signature Espresso fused with steamed milk and a trio of spices: cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew also returns along with Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, introduced last year.
Fall favorites like Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato and Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso are also returning to the menu.
However, some fans think it's too early for fall desserts.
Dear Starbucks and Dunkin': August is too early for pumpkin things. Please.
