Get creative with these fan-favorite fall drinks at Starbucks

When September hits us like a ton of pumpkins, we grow tired of the standard Starbucks menu options and anxiously prepare for the limited-time fall menu. The coffee giant’s menu is filled with cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin-inspired drinks to indulge & sip on until wintertime rolls around.

There are fan-favorites like the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the new Apple Crisp Macchiato, but leave it to die-hard Starbucks drinkers to take things to another level.

Starbucks is known for its “secret menu” options, and for years, fans have been creating their own drinks to tantalize their taste buds. So before you go to your nearest Starbucks, you might want to jot down a couple of the drinks below. Trust us when we say you won’t want to pass on these delicious concoctions.
