In Search Of. . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Caramel Apple

In Search Of. . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Caramel Apple

During the seasonal times I'll try to do a drink a week so I can get most of them in. It just makes it easier.

This week's drink is the caramel apple, which I don't know if it's how I ordered it, but it would have been more aptly names Apple Pie a la Mode. It didn't have bitter crisp bite of  an actual apple, and was kind of sweet.

Order this:

• Apple Juice to the first line
• Milk to the second line
• Add Cinnamon Dolce Syrup 3 pumps (I got two for my grande)
• Add cream base 3 pumps (Again, 2)
• Add dark caramel 2 pumps
• Topped with whipped cream, caramel ribbon crunch, caramel drizzle and cinnamon dolce topping

Like I said, it should be called Apple Pie a la mode. This one was honestly too sweet for me. I liked the caramel flavor, but the milk and the cream base just made it taste like apple juice ice cream, which sound a lot grosser than it is. I loved all the caramel though, but I'm a huge caramel sauce fan. I got a grande and as a good rule of thumb, I always do two pumps for grande, three for venti. No coffee though.

In Search Of. . . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Chocolate Pumpkin

In Search Of. . . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Chocolate Pumpkin

So in the spirit of blazing through the seasonal drinks, I've decided to do another of the Pumpkin flavors. The Chocolate pumpkin.

This one brought me amazing luck with a new job! HUZZAH!

Anyway, It was one of my lunch break because it had been a long day and it wasn't even noon. And for some reason, spending an exorbitant amount of money on coffee just makes me feel better.

Here's what to get

• Order a Pumpkin Spice Latte
• Add two pumps of Mocha

This one was pretty good. Not as good as the pumpkin pie, but still pretty good. It's kind of chocolately for my taste, so I would get one less mocha pump or a venti. If you like chocolate then you should be fine. It just kind of over powers the pumpkin spice flavor. You can get it hot or iced.  got mine iced because it refuses to be cold here.

See, here is where all the extremely stubborn people come. Like seriously you either are stubborn or get stubborn. It would stand to reason that our weather is also stubborn. Now, we've only got to flavors. Hot and mild, but I swear there is a cosmic battle every seasonal change because the current season refuses to give up.

As Always

In Search Of. . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Pumpkin Pie

In Search Of. . . Starbucks Secret Menu: Pumpkin Pie

So, in an effort to get back on track. I decided to get one of the seasonal ones, since PSL is back. I went with the Pumpkin Pie. It was a little bit of an adventure. When I go in to Starbucks, I show the people my phone, and they just ask me about number of pumps.

Well, last night, I did that, but the girl missed one of the key ingredients so I corrected her. Well, she'd written the wrong letter, and scribbled it out. She also got my name wrong.

Apparently my name is Brittany... it's not.
When the barista got ready to make it he looked really confused. "Does this one get 28 pumps of cinnamon docle?" He asked.
I looked at it like no. I like a little heat, but that would have been like doing the cinnamon challenge.
She corrected him. Apparently her srcibble out of the wrong thing looked like an 8 and she'd put a 2 in front of it.

So, no. This does not get 28 pumps of Cinnamon docle.

Anyway, here's the Pumpkin Pie

Here's the Recipe

• Order a creme based pumpkin spice frappucino
• Add Cinnamon Dolce 1-3 pumps. I have a grande and two pumps which is perfect.
• Add Cinnamon Dolce sprinkles. They just substituted regular cinnamon
• Blend in whipped cream
• Top with whipped cream and cinnamon sprinkles. Again, I just had cinnamon and it was perfect.

Ok so whatever ones were my favorite, this one is my favorite favorite so far. It was sooo good. I wish I could explain the amount of excite I had when it tasted that good. It tastes like an actual pumpkin pie. I would most definitely recommend this one before the pumpkin season is over. 

I keep having this feeling it's over next week, but that's probably because there's no season change over here, so I have no frame of reference. Anyway, go get this one now. NOW! 

Here's hoping we find what we're searching for. 

As always
