"We're about to experience yet another heat wave in the Pacific Northwest, and it has me feeling like the dog days of summer will never end. Nevertheless, the impending fall season has your favorite chains already releasing a flurry of seasonal menu items, perhaps in an attempt to make everyone's favorite time of year come a little bit sooner."
"I got to try the new drink a few days before its launch, and despite the mid-morning air already feeling muggy, sipping on this gave me a brief respite from the heat. It's intensely autumnal in the best way. And paired with Starbucks' Baked Apple Croissant? I could've been fooled into thinking it was mid-October. May I suggest to all PSL lovers that you take even a one-day break from your beloved bevvie to give the new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado a try -"
Starbucks launches a fall menu on August 26 that includes the new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado. The drink blends espresso with oat milk to produce an intensely autumnal flavor that can feel like a brief respite from heat. When paired with a Baked Apple Croissant, the combination evokes mid-October flavors. Cortados traditionally use roughly equal parts espresso and steamed milk, with milk steamed to around 125°F and typical volumes near 2 ounces espresso and 2.5 ounces milk. Starbucks' version was served in an 8-ounce cup with three shots of espresso, larger than a classic cortado.
