Catering to the ongoing demand for pumpkin-flavored drinks, McDonald's is rolling out its very own McCafe Pumpkin Spice Latte at the end of August. With a familiar blend of sweet, spicy and savory flavors, the new latte will help the fast food chain further expand its McCafe brand.
The McCafe Pumpkin Spice Latte is a warm, espresso-based drink made with streamed milk and hint of pumpkin and cinnamon. While the chain originally introduced the drink to its menu back in 2013, this year marks the first time the lightly spiced beverage will be available in all 14,000 locations across the US. The chain will also be releasing an iced version of the latte in select locations to complement the lingering summer heat.
