This beverage is topped with whipped cream and includes pumpkin syrup, espresso, and steamed milk. The ever-popular pumpkin spice Frappuccino ®  is also currently available. The salted caramel hot chocolate is another fall drink that can be found at the beginning of September. This drink combines steamed milk with vanilla, mocha, and toffee nut syrup. It is topped with caramel sauce and a mixture of sugar and sea salt. For those who prefer a caffeinated salted caramel beverage, it is also available as a Frappuccino ® and a mocha, which includes espresso. In November, still more delicious beverages will be debuted in Starbucks locations across the country. The gingerbread latte is similar to the pumpkin spice one, except for the important substitution of gingerbread-flavored syrup. For those who find themselves craving a cold drink in the dead of winter, the gingerbread Frappuccino ® is yet another option. The caramel brulée latte is still relatively new to the holiday drink lineup. This drink involves espresso and steamed milk flavored with caramel brulée sauce, with whipped cream and crunchy caramel topping. This drink is also available in Frappuccino ® form. Eggnog lattes are a holiday classic. Real eggnog is combined with espresso and nutmeg for a fantastic drink with a taste that is truly reminiscent of the holidays. The peppermint mocha is a perennial favorite of many. A twist on the standard plain mocha with its splash of peppermint syrup, it is also available as a hot chocolate drink, minus the espresso. Peppermint mocha Frappuccinos ®  are also available. (If youre worried about calorie counting  or other nutritional facts, Starbucks has an online listing for each of these drinks!) The end of summer might be less than desirable for some, but with the help of these delicious drinks, the transition to icy weather can be made a bit sweeter!
