I&#8217;m firmly on the &#8220;I don&#8217;t care how early in August you bring back the pumpkin drinks&#8221; train because, for me, it&#8217;s never too early. And now that this time of year is here, Starbucks has introduced several new beverages, including an app-exclusive drink, the Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte. This latte features the Apple Brown Sugar Syrup along with Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed when my drink came out was how milky it looked &#8211; much more so than the normal latte I get from Starbucks (one of my non-seasonal go-tos is an iced vanilla latte). Either the barista was heavy-handed on the milk, or the cold foam had already begun its descent to the bottom&#8230; it was hard to tell. It did have a creamy flavor that I didn&#8217;t mind, but it definitely masked the espresso. Granted, a tall only has one shot, but to me, there was no coffee flavor at all. It could be a good drink to ease a non-coffee drinker in! Or consider adding an extra shot if you want that espresso to shine.<\/p>\n<p>As I sipped, the biggest thing I noted was that despite the salted caramel in the cold foam, the apple flavor steals the show here. There were small notes of caramel, but otherwise, it was apple all the way. If you&#8217;ve never had a drink with the Starbucks Apple Brown Sugar Syrup before, it has a nice spice to it, and that came through here.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-64261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sbxicedcacrlat2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not used to cold foam on a latte &#8211; historically, it&#8217;s the cold brew beverages that tout it. So, adding the Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam was an interesting touch. Again, I would have liked to taste more caramel, which is the main reason for my rating below. I wonder if toning down the pumps of Apple Brown Sugar Syrup would make a difference or if it&#8217;s just too strong of a flavor profile. Either way, I do enjoy the apple, and it&#8217;s fun to have a latter option that&#8217;s a little jazzier than the norm.<\/p>\n<p>My last note here is that this is very much a dessert-like drink. At 320 calories for a tall and 36 grams of sugar, they&#8217;re not messing around. I don&#8217;t envision this as a &#8220;morning coffee to get my day going&#8221; drink but more of an afternoon treat.
