What Does Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew Taste Like?

Starbucks’ website describes this seasonal favorite: “Starbucks® Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with a pumpkin cream cold foam and a dusting of pumpkin spice topping.”

As you sip or stir the drink, the sweet pumpkin-flavored froth mixes with the strong cold brew coffee. It’s like a dessert and a coffee all in one…and it definitely has a caffeine kick!

Can You Get Pumpkin At Starbucks Year Round?

There’s only one pumpkin item that stays on Starbucks’ menu all year long: Pumpkin Loaf. The rest of the pumpkin menu items, such as pumpkin scones and pumpkin cream cold brew are only available during the fall season. While it hasn’t been 100% confirmed, it is rumored that Starbucks’ pumpkin drinks and treats will return on August 29, 2023. In the meantime, you can use this recipe to enjoy your pumpkin cold brew year round!

Helpful Kitchen Tools

• Immersion blender or milk frother

Instructions

1. Add the heavy cream, milk, vanilla syrup, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a large bowl.
2. Use a whisk or milk frother to whip this mixture until frothy, and everything is well incorporated.
3. Fill two large glasses with ice cubes. A pint size mason jar is the perfect size!
4. Pour 6 ounces of cold brew into each glass of ice and top each with half of the pumpkin foam.

Prep Tips

• Blending: A handheld milk frother is a fantastic little tool to create whipped cream or decadent foam. However, if you don’t have one, you can use a blender to whip up the ingredients. Just be sure not to blend at a super high speed or for a long time so you don’t heat up the cold foam!
• Dairy-Free Version: You can make this a dairy free drink by using non-dairy milk and nondairy cream for your cold foam. Almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or oat milk could all work. They might not foam up quite as much as dairy milk, but they will still taste creamy and delicious.
• Garnish: Just like Starbucks, you can pretty up your drink with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top of the foam. It also makes it smell even more festive!
• Storage: You can keep the individual components of this drink in the refrigerator for up to a week. I recommend waiting to add the pumpkin cream to the coffee until right when you’re ready to drink it. Otherwise, store them in separate airtight containers.
