Another Fall flavor is apple. Apple can come in all different forms like spiced or sour. I'm not a fan of when they turn apple sour. It can be such an amazing savory flavor and taking it sour just seems to be an easy way out.
Drinks You Can Pick Up At The Store
Elisha Green Apple Sparkling Drink (Water)
Even though it was green apple it wasn't sour. It had a nice apple taste that was kind of like eating an actual apple. There were no after tastes. This drink came from HMart in Aurora, CO. I would by this one again. I think that this could be a good summer or fall drink.
Fanta Haunted Apple
I liked this way more then I expected. The apple flavor was not sour at all and the overall flavor was just right. They did a really good job with this and I wish it would stick around. Tried August 2024.
Gatorade Green Apple
I think this is a new contender for my favorite Gatorade. I found this one at a mini golf course, but I have had trouble finding it in stores. Tried June 2024.
Apple Pie Soda
I picked this drink up at Rocket Fizz with their drinks really being hit or miss. For this one I only got a watered down apple flavor with nothing to represent the pie dough part. I would say this drink was a fail. Tried May 2024.
Drinks At Restaurants
Apple Slush from Juicy Pop
The shop I got this at is inside my local Hmart. The drink had a strong apple flavor without me asking for more flavoring. This apple also did not go sour in taste, so I was happy with that. I would get it again if I was in the mood for an apple fix.
Apple Slush from Snowl
I liked that this drink automatically included boba and I didn't have to pay an upcharge for them. The apple on this drink also wasn't sour, but the flavor was really weak. If I were to order this drink again I would ask for extra apple flavoring, but that is hard at Snowl since most of the time you have to order it through the machine instead of a person and this limits how you can customize it.
Caramel Apple Chai Kataluma Chai
For this drink they use their vanilla chai base. Over all the drink was super bland with hardly any flavor. I got this at the Colorado Mills Mall location and this location just does not make the drinks very well. The location at Flat Irons Mall does such a better job without you having to ask for extra flavoring. I think that stores should have a consistent product across all locations so you know what you are getting, but this small chain has large differences depending on the location. I wouldn't order this again at this location, but would be willing to give it a second try at the good location.
Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato Starbucks
It was ok. The oat milk they use has a strong flavor and can overpower the flavor of the apple unless you ask for extra apple flavoring. I recommend 7-9 pumps on a large depending on how much sugar you prefer. In a way it was like eating cold oats, but not in a good way. I tried one and wouldn't go back for more.
Ciders
Carmel Apple Cider Nordstrom eBay
This is one of the best things I have ever drank. The eBay somehow manages to come up with amazing drinks that you don't need to modify like you have to at other coffee stores in order to actually get the flavor. This drink was totally like eating a caramel apple. Both the apple and caramel flavors clearly came through and this is what all drinks should aim for.
Great Value Spiced Apple Cider
About average of a store Cider. I would say this would be a good Cider to spike, I would recommend Fireball. It does taste better hot then cold. Overall, not bad for under $4. Tried October 2024.
Booze Time
Smirnoff Sour Green Apple
Sooper sour. I tried a little sip of this by itself and puckered hard. Then I used the remainder and mixed it with 2oz of club soda. It was still really sour, but at least I could stand it. I really would recommend using the maximum ratio of 1/3 of this when making drinks with this. Personally not my thing and I think even those that like sour would still have a hard time with the 1 to 2 for drink mixes. Tried September 2024.
Make Your Own
Starbucks
For the fall Starbucks has a really good apple syrup. I would recommend putting this syrup into their teas if you are looking for a slightly healthier options or just don't want something as heavy as their blended drinks.
