Fall won’t be here for another month, but the first hints of cold weather have us lust for Starbucks’ fall drinks. Luckily, the coffee chain has already included them in their seasonal menu so there’s no reason not to enjoy them as early as you want! Pumpkin spice latte may be an iconic fall flavor, but here are three more equally awesome ones.

Apple Crisp Macchiato

The latest addition to the Starbucks’ menu is the Apple Crisp Macchiato, a beverage that perfectly describes fall. It smells like you’re baking an apple pie and it has coffee in it—what else could you want? The idea came from the fall apple harvest. Seriously, how did we go this far without an apple pie flavored drink?

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

There’s no reason you should ditch your favorite cold drinks just because it’s fall! Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew helps you get the right vibe while enjoying your favorite cold coffee, and you can absolutely customize it to fit your preferences.

Most TikTok users are open to trying new food, drinks, and hacks that promise great results, even those that seem a bit weird at first. One of the latest wellness trends on TikTok involves drinking lettuce water in order to promote sleep quality, so pretty much everyone on TikTok is now sipping on this beverage.

TikTok influencer Shapla Hoque shared a video on this beverage a month ago, and people have been raving about lettuce water ever since. Hoque’s video has more than 1.4 million views and 14.2k likes so far. The main reason people are going crazy for this drink is because it can supposedly help us fall asleep faster and improve our sleep. But is this really true?

This trend was probably inspired by studies that show that certain chemicals in romaine lettuce, such as lactucin and lactucarium, can have calming effects and support sleep. However, this research was conducted on mice, so there’s still no evidence that drinking lettuce water can improve sleep quality.

Most dietitians seem to agree that if people feel drowsy after drinking lettuce water that’s probably due to the placebo effect. On the other hand, there’s no harm in trying this intriguing beverage. You can make it at home by pouring hot water on top of lettuce leaves and leaving it for 10 minutes.

Tepache is a fermented drink that’s very good for you, which is why it’s rapidly becoming popular. Sounds familiar? Yes, it’s kind of similar to kombucha, but still not the same thing. If you love kombucha, chances are this is going to be your next favorite.

Traditional Mexican drink tepache tastes sweet and tart. It’s made from pineapple, usually from scraps that are left after you peel and cut the fruit. It can also be made from apples, pears, oranges, or corn. If you’re curious to try it, check your local supermarkets, grocery stores, and restaurants.

Tepache can have different nutritional values depending on the ingredients that go into it. There’s still not much scientific research about its nutrition and health benefits, but it’s known that it contains probiotics. Probiotics form during the fermentation process and tepache contains several types of them.

The drink also contains vitamins from the fruit used to make it. Pineapple, for example, has plenty of vitamin C, calcium, potassium, etc. Probiotic-rich foods and drinks like tepache promote a healthy gut and can help with digestion. You can drink tepache before a workout as it will provide your body with some extra energy.

Hanging out at bars and restaurants is still not safe, but that’s not stopping people from having fun at home and experimenting in the kitchen. Preparing tasty food and drinks has turned out to be one of everyone’s favorite hobbies during lockdown, and one of the trendiest drinks popping up on TikTok recently is the Corona Sunrise cocktail.

Even if you don’t like Corona beer that much, this cocktail is definitely worth a try because it’s refreshing and super easy to make. The best thing is that you don’t need a cocktail shaker to make it because you can mix all the ingredients in a beer bottle.

To make the Corona Sunrise cocktail you need only four ingredients—Corona beer, silver tequila, orange juice, and grenadine.

• First you’ll need to drink some beer in order to make room for the rest of the ingredients.
• Then just add a splash of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine and turn the bottle upside down to mix everything up.

This refreshing cocktail is ready in less than two minutes and then you can enjoy its taste and wonderful hues that look like sunrise. We can already guess that Corona Sunrise will be one of the trendiest drinks this summer.

We definitely didn’t imagine the spring of 2020 like this. Instead of being outside and enjoying coffee in our favorite cafes, we’re all forced to stay at home and try to make a beverage that’s not disappointing. Luckily, one of the latest food trends is actually the most popular way to make coffee in quarantine, so we decided to give it a shot and we loved it!

Dalgona coffee was named after the popular South Korean dalgona candy. It’s pretty easy to make and you’re going to love the taste.

You’ll Need

• instant coffee
• granulated sugar
• hot or cold milk
• ice if you want an iced coffee

How to Make

1. Mix equal parts of instant coffee, sugar, and water in a bowl. Use a mixer to turn it into a whipped coffee mixture. It may take a few minutes to achieve this.
2. Take a tall glass or a mug, add ice if you want, then pour milk. There’s no need for ice if you’re making it with hot milk.
3. Transfer the coffee mixture on top of the milk with a spoon and enjoy your trendy and delicious coffee.

The holiday season is just around the corner, don’t worry we’re so close! If you’re anything like us, you’re looking forward to all the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year parties. Having delicious food and drinks is an important part of nailing the perfect holiday party!

Cosmopolitan revealed that part of being a great host is knowing how to make three different types of drinks: a sweet one, a non-alcoholic one, and a cocktail.

Mai Tai

This drink is guaranteed to remind you of that girl’s trip you took over the summer with your besties. It’s sweet and refreshing; it happens to be a crowd favorite. It’s simple to make, you need 1 1/2 oz White rum, 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice, 1/2 oz Orange Curacao, 1/2 oz Orgeat syrup, and 3/4 oz Dark rum. Make the drink Instagram worthy by topping it off with fresh pineapple and a maraschino cherry.

Gimlet

Don’t worry, this drink only looks fancy; the ingredients are so simple. Think of it as an update on a gin and tonic. Add an ice sphere into the glass to impress your guests and 2 1/2 oz Gin, 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice, and 1/2 oz Simple syrup. Try topping it with an edible flower or gold leaf.

Pink Lemonade

Who doesn’t love pink lemonade? You should always have a non-alcoholic beverage available for your friends or family who don’t drink alcohol and this one happens to be so tasty! You only need four ingredients: 1 cup white sugar, 6 cups water, 1 cup fresh lemon, and 1/2 cup cranberry juice.

Starbucks coffee may be the most popular coffee chain in the world, but coffee isn’t the only thing they serve. This winter, enjoy the holidays with a cup of Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate served in their famous holiday-edition red cup.

Starting November 5th, you can order something from the Starbucks winter menu that includes a brand new drink. The toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate is basically a hot chocolate with marshmallow syrup and marshmallow-flavored whipped cream. Yes, it’s insanely caloric but totally worth it! 

The rest of the winter menu is filled with old favorites like ‘Tis the Season Turkey Sandwich, Festive Feast Panini, mince pies, brownies, cupcakes, a selection of holiday lattes, and many more.

Even if you’re not a big fan of the coffee shop chain during the year, you can’t help but love the atmosphere they create around the holidays. It’s time – find your favorite Christmas sweater, play Michael Bublé on your phone, and head to the closest Starbucks for your dose of Christmas in a cup.

Step off, matcha tea, there’s a new hit! Butterfly pea flower tea is all the rage right now, but is there more to it than perfect Instagram photos?

This tea is not a new thing. Blue Tea, as it’s also known, is made from Butterfly pea flower petals. It comes from South East Asia, and it’s a popular caffeine-free alternative to green and black teas.

Undoubtedly, it’s very photogenic, but it also comes with many health benefits. Butterfly pea flower tea has been a part of Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Its taste can be described as “earthy,” somewhat similar to unsweetened green tea. It can be consumed hot or cold.

Lately, Butterfly pea flower tea has become very popular on social media. Plain tea is blue but it can change colors when other ingredients are added. For example, it turns purple with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Doesn’t it look tempting? A cup of this gorgeous blue tea is a great way to celebrate the beginning of fall and open the new tea-drinking season!

Summer is in its fullest and we’re all thinking of ways to chill after a long, hot day. If you’re a lucky one with your own yard, or at least a balcony big enough for several people, hosting a trendy aperitivo party this summer will make you the most popular and loved member of your group. Here’s an easy guide you can replicate this weekend!

Aperitivo is the Italian version of happy hour – a drink you have during the golden hour late in the day. All you’ll need to prepare are light cocktails made with sparkling water (and, of course, some liqueur) and fresh snacks. Don’t try to seat your guests. Instead, all the food should be easily accessible while standing and sipping on a drink so people can mingle around and talk to each other.

Some romantic lights and flowers are optional, but welcome for creating a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy your party!

Coffee during the day, wine in the evening? Yes, please! And how about both at the same time?

We’re not even talking about having a cup of coffee next to your glass of wine. No, you can now have both in one drink, thanks to a company called Apothic Red Wines.

They are making cold-brew coffee infused wine, a new beverage that offers the best from two worlds.

As the company’s Marketing Director Christine Jagher said in a press release, “Apothic is no stranger to creating interesting new blends — from the launch of the distinctive category leader Apothic Red to our smooth Apothic Crush and our most recent hit, Apothic Inferno, a red blend aged in whiskey barrels. We’ve always sought to break the mold to bring our fans products we know they will love. Apothic Brew is a game changer that offers the best of both worlds — cold brew and wine — and I can’t wait for people to try it.”
