Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte is 19

It isn’t yet the first day of fall, but Starbucks’ love-it-or-hate-it Pumpkin Spice Latte went on sale nationwide Aug. 30.

Has this autumnal drink been around for your entire Starbucks relationship? That depends on how long you’ve been sipping. The PSL was created in Seattle in 2001 and is celebrating its 19th year in stores in 2022.

It’s a Gen Z baby: It grew up with the generation raised on YouTube and memes. Kind of fits, right?

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are espresso beverages made with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, “pumpkin sauce” and steamed milk. Maybe because it was born among a generation with nearly endless choices in life, there isn’t just one way to drink a PSL. Get it iced if it’s still summertime (and it is, check your calendars). It also comes blended or hot.

For those who prefer fall apple flavors, Starbucks also now sells an Apple Crisp Macchiato, made with regular milk or oat milk.
