Every coming year we get a new fall drink from Starbucks. While we had many different options this year, I was most intrigued by the Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew. 

It tasted very bitter at first, followed by a slight cinnamon aftertaste. The drink has a pumpkin cold brew coffee base, with a lot of vanilla cream on top. In comparison with other Starbucks drinks I have tried in the past, it wasn’t as sweet, so if you don’t like sweet drinks, you’ll definitely enjoy it! It was $4.45 for a tall size, which is pricey.  

In spite of my dislike of pumpkin and pumpkin-flavored things, I found this drink to be very refreshing, and the pumpkin flavor did not overpower the vanilla. Rather, it was a good blend of vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin. It would be nice to have this drink and a bagel or pastry to go along with it. 

This is a great drink to have in autumn, as it slowly turns to winter, when you are feeling the season. I’d say this drink is perfect for those who love cinnamon, pumpkin, and vanilla! I would give this drink 4 cinnamon sticks out of 5.
