Fall Starbucks Drink Idea: The Pumpkin Dirty Chai I Swear By

It’s a magical time of year! Even though it’s still hot in Florida, I love October. We have a tradition of visiting states with  changing leaves — we’ve gone to New York City and Seattle in previous years — but thanks to COVID, we’re staying put this season.

I’m still getting into a fall mood when I can, though. I’m buying spiced apple cider from Trader Joe’s, wearing flannel in Florida heat, and my go-to Starbucks order is what I like to call fall in a cup.

Seriously — it doesn’t get better than this.

Here’s my go-to fall drink at Starbucks:

• Grande nonfat chai latte
• Two pumps of pumpkin
• One shot of espresso
• Pumpkin pie topping

Possible substitutions:

• Substitute nonfat milk for soy or almond milk
• Get it without espresso (or with a double shot)
• One pump of pumpkin if you prefer for your drink to be less sweet
• Order with pumpkin cream cold foam

Enjoy! Let me know your favorite fall drink in the comments!
