Can you smell that? It\u2019s the scent of Pumpkin Spice Latte at a Starbucks near you! Grab your cozy fall sweater because the beloved seasonal drink has made its return.<\/p>\n
Starbucks announced that the fan-favorite PSL is back in stores as of Thursday, August 22. The fan favorite drink, which debuted 21 years ago, was created after a \u201chuge brainstorm list,\u201d according to Peter Duke<\/strong>, one of its founders. Initially considering flavors like caramel and chocolate, they settled on the tasty blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove spices that perfectly capture the essence of fall. \u201cWe ultimately ended up landing on Pumpkin Spice Latte because the spices play a really important role in bringing out the flavors of pumpkin, while also highlighting the espresso in the cup,\u201d Duke explained to\u00a0Starbucks Stories<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n Despite its early arrival before autumn\u2019s official start on September 22, fans are embracing the drink with enthusiasm. Starbucks\u2019 Instagram announcement post<\/a>, captioned \u201cFall is calling,\u201d sparked excitement.<\/p>\n \u201cTomorrow will be the BEST DAY EVER!!\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n Another added, \u201cYes!

Originally considered for discontinuation, it was kept due to high demand, especially after social media propelled it to new heights:\u00a0 \u201cWe launched PSL very well, but then there were discussions about discontinuing it,\u201d Duke said. \u201cThere was this idea back then of, \u2018Hey, we want keep things new, keep things fresh.\u2019 And fortunately, we kept bringing it back. With the arrival of social media, it just took off on a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n He remarked, \u201cNobody knew what it would grow to be\u2026it\u2019s taken a life of its own.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with the PSL, Starbucks is offering other fall-themed drinks like the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and a variety of apple-flavored beverages, including the new Iced Apple Crisp Non-Dairy Cream Chai and Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
