NEW ORLEANS – It may still be August but there are at least two local (albeit national) haunts where you can get your autumnal fix.
On Aug. 22, Starbucks announced that its Reserve® Roasteries and stores in Seattle, Chicago and New York City will introduce new and returning Pumpkin Spice beverages, such as the new Starbucks Reserve® Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Affogato, and Pumpkin Spice Chai Martini, and the return of Starbucks Reserve® Pumpkin Spice Latte, alongside a variety of seasonal cocktails, beverages, merchandise, and food.
The new Pumpkin Spice Affogato is an indulgent combination of vanilla gelato topped with Starbucks Reserve® Espresso, pumpkin spice sauce and caramel brulée topping. The new Starbucks Reserve® Pumpkin Spice Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew is a spirit-free beverage features Starbucks Reserve® Whiskey Barrel-Aged Coffee, made from Guatemalan coffee beans aged in Knob Creek® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey barrels, served over ice with pumpkin spice sauce and topped with pumpkin spice cold foam.
In case your nearest Starbucks outpost is without the affogato, Biz New Orleans has it on good authority that Domenica, 123 Barronne Street inside the Roosevelt Hotel has a great dessert option.
