I can’t believe I forgot. I was in Target yesterday and went to the Starbucks within (whoever came up with that concept is a genius – Target and Starbucks, all in one? Heaven!). I was ready to order a white chocolate mocha (nonfat, no whip) when I saw the chalkboard sign on the wall…
Pumpkin Spice Lattes Are Back!
Yay! This is my favorite drink. Even though it’s 98 degrees outside, I am now officially in the mood for the Pumpkin Spice Latte like, every day. Forget all the calories, revel in that drink! It’s delicious!
Just because I’m in the mood, I’m giving away a $10 gift card to Starbucks (that’ll get you two grande PSL’s!). All you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite Starbucks drink. I will draw one lucky commenter on the evening of Saturday September 6th (contest closes at 5 p.m. pacific time)!
Please leave only one comment to keep the contest fair. Thank you.
Now comment away and share those fave drinks! I love me some Starbucks…
NOTE: CONTEST CLOSED – THANKS TO ALL WHO COMMENTED!

Mocha Java chip Frappacinos, and of course. OF COURSE Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
I’m now heading out the door to get one!! YUMMY!!!
Yeah it’s about 85 here, but still. MMMM.
Wylie says:
Grande Americanos!!
Okay – that’s really Christine d’Abo’s fave. But I had to steal it because I don’t know any other Starbuck offerings.
Though that Pumpkin Spice Latte sounds like something my palette would LOVE.

As a Barnes and Noble Cafe worker (where we serve Starbucks drinks) I know this is a heavy favorite.
It’s warm and fuzzy, so I’m not surprised. Hint: It’s great with soy milk.
Don’t enter me into the drawing hun. Can’t do lattes for a while.

I love Caramel Macchiatos. I also loved (totally past tense) Caramel Fraps with 4 shots of expresso. O.M.G. Hea.ven! Don’t enter me in the contest either please.

I love the white hot chocolate.

My favorite is a Carmel Macchiato. I think that is how you spell it.

There’s a reason why Starbucks’ same-store sales grew by more than 11 percent during the first four weeks after they launched the Pumpkin Spice Latte – it’s because the Pumpkin Spice Latte is amazing. Not just amazing. Heaven in a cup. A red, snowy Christmas-branded cup.
If you can’t tell, I’m kind of obsessed.
Nice to share the start of Pumpkin Spice season with another aficionado.

I’m not just commenting because of the gift card, I swear!
It’s really because hubby and I are Starbucks addicts and when I saw you posting about Pumpkin Lattes I had to come defend the true champion of coffee drinks–the GINGERBREAD LATTE at Christmas time!! Ooh la la!

I don’t drink coffee (I know-I’m unAmerican!), but that sounds good! Yesterday I was in World Market and they had a canister of pumpkin muffin mix that looked so good, but I’m trying to cut back on sugar.
Hmm…now I’m hungry…
Karen says:
Okay I love me some Gingerbread latte. In fact, I have official gingerbread syrup from Starbucks in my pantry. But! I love the PSL more.
I saw that statistic BB. There are PSL lovers everywhere!
And I pretty much love all of the drinks everyone has suggested. I’m a huge fan of the caramel macchiato – but it has to be made just right. It’s an easy one to screw up.
I love anything with pumpkin Eden. And I love fall. I just wish the weather would cool down…
Okay I just wrote a book with this comment! LOL
