![]() What can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants. But, admittedly, I personally went right over to Trader Joe's to grab some of their pumpkin items after I finished it. But as a seasonal beverage, the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is definitely a tasty way to get into the fall spirit.Īll in all, if you're not a fan of pumpkin or you just want to try something different, I do recommend this drink. Toasted Vanilla will always be my favorite, and Brown Sugar is a close second. Since apple isn't necessarily my thing, I'd rank this third among the Shaken Espressos. But in the future, I may try a hot Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato for similar flavors in a warmer packaged. I tend to prefer iced coffee, and I ordered this drink on a sweltering 90-degree day, so a hot drink was completely out of the question. One thing I will note is that I think these flavors may have worked even better together warm. The oat milk adds a great, creamy element that really brings all of the flavors together. The flavor experience was akin to a scoop of ice cream paired with cinnamon-y apple crisp (and, of course, some rich espresso). If you'd prefer a stronger, sweeter flavor, though, I might suggest an extra pump of the Apple Brown Sugar syrup. This was a good thing for me, because I don't think I would have liked an especially strong apple flavor mixed with my espresso. While there isn't any sort of pumpkin shaken espresso to compare it to, I did find the apple flavor to be more subtle than the pumpkin spice flavor in the Pumpkin Spice Latte, or the pumpkin creme on the Pumpkin Creme Cold Brew. The first thing I noticed about the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is that it's not overwhelmingly sweet. So I thought that an apple crisp drink sounded like a nice change of pace. I mean, there's even a Pumpkin Spice Frosty joining the Wendy's menu this year. However, it's hard not to get pumpkin spice fatigue these days. ![]() So, does this new fall drink pass the taste test? As I stated above, I tend to lean towards pumpkin flavors when fall rolls around. What does the Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso taste like? But does it actually taste good? Although I’m personally a pumpkin spice girlie at heart (sue me!), I decided to find out for myself. This brand-new seasonal drink combines Starbucks Blonde espresso, apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, and, of course, oat milk. Joining the ranks of the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, the Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (my personal favorite), the Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso, and the controversial Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso with Oatmilk and Toffeenut, this apple-flavored, dairy-free beverage was recently added to the menu. Not only did they replace their iconic Pumpkin Scone with a Baked Apple Croissant (much to the dismay of many fans), but they also added a brand new apple-centered drink to the menu: The Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. However, Starbucks is changing that with their new fall lineup. Read my full review of Starbucks' Chocolate Cream Cold Brew here.In a world dominated by pumpkin spice, it sometimes feels like there’s little out there for apple lovers. Who knows, maybe next season will bring my new favorite. If the last two seasonal drinks are any indication, Starbucks is really hitting its stride when it comes to new beverages. I haven't loved a Starbucks drink like this since I was a 12-year-old discovering her first Caramel Frappuccino. Starbucks' only released the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew a week ago and I've already gotten it multiple times. Others love its fresh, sweet, and fruity flavor. Like the peppermint syrup, the raspberry syrup is also an extremely polarizing syrup. Raspberry Syrup works best with green tea and black tea. The foam has a frothiness that reminds me of a chocolate milkshake, and there's an unexpected richness to the drink - like dark chocolate, but without any bitterness. Aside from mocha sauce, it also works well with non-dairy milk like coconut milk and soy milk. The flavors are perfectly balanced and it's just downright delicious. ![]() The Chocolate Cream Cold Brew is, by far, the best new drink I've had at Starbucks in years. When I tried the Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso back in March, I was convinced it was going to be my favorite Starbucks drink for a long time. The Chocolate Cream Cold Brew is my new favorite drink. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
