9 p.m., I was in line for about 15 min and gearing up to buy a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Work took my energy and I needed a drink to revitalize myself.  Starbucks had just redecorated their store with autumn leaves. I felt like it was Thanksgiving and I was gathered for dinner. It had a home feel to the store which is nice change due to the fall weather blowing in. One of my senior friends suggested the drink.

“Pumpkin Apple Spice is an amazing drink with many flavors packed in!” said Sobia Mujtaba,senior.

I was next in line and  I was eager to buy the drink. “I want a Pumpkin Spice Latte and make it Grande, please!” I said. As soon as the drink was in my hand, I assessed it.

The top looked perfect, with a whipped cream and light dusting of pumpkin spice goodness on top. The smell was overpowering and I felt my nose tingle with delight.

I took my first sip and my initial reaction was “Wow!” My tongue felt the richness of the natural pumpkin. The warmth texture and tone was overall a satisfying experience. Another sip of this drink gave me the taste of spices and cinnamon. There was a clash of autumn colors in my mouth. It was extremely sweet and I knew right there that Fall is finally here.

If you’re ever looking into a drink that’ll hit the spot on a cold fall day. The Pumpkin Spice Latte will really spice up that spot. So, drop everything you’re doing and visit your local Starbucks today!
