Best Drink of the Season – All About the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
Fall is officially here and Starbucks has welcomed back the seasonal favorite, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and a newbie that is taking all the attention – the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.
What’s in the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
The new Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew has the signature Starbucks Cold Brew mixed with vanilla syrup, topped with pumpkin cream cold foam made with real pumpkin, and dusted with pumpkin spice.
This cold drink is a great way to ease into fall while the weather is still warm, and it is actually gaining more popularity than classic Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Drinking Tips
Any coffee that is more than a shot of espresso or an Americano at Starbucks will always have more calories and sugar. So if you do not want the calories and sugar, stick to black coffee. But, if you allow yourself the occasional splurge, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is worth it.
The drink is sweet, but not overly sweet compared to the PSL. To reduce the sugar content you can do one of two things:
1. Request for sugar-free vanilla syrup
2. Ask for only one pump of vanilla syrup (the regular order has two pumps of syrup)
For the best drinking experience, do not use a straw and do not mix the whole drink. Taste the layers – drink the cold brew from the top to have the starting taste of the cold foam and end it with the taste of the coffee cold brew.
