The Way To Order Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate At Starbucks
The time between summer and fall is called pumpkin spice season. Although Starbucks is the winner of the pumpkin spice craze, its menu doesn’t include pumpkin spice hot chocolate.
However, the baristas can make you a pumpkin spice hot chocolate. Considered a custom-made drink and part of the Starbucks "secret" menu, the beverage can be ordered in many ways.
Order a Grande-sized (medium-sized) hot chocolate and ask to add two pumps of pumpkin spice sauce, and then finish it off with whipped cream sprinkled with pumpkin spice topping.
Alternatively, order a grande hot chocolate with three pumps of mocha syrup and two pumps of pumpkin spice sauce. Top with whipped cream and pumpkin spice topping.
The result should be a non-caffeinated, warm, creamy, pumpkin-flavored beverage. Consider writing the recipe down on a small piece of paper or card and handing it to your barista.
