# Caramel Apple-Flavored Lattes Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii Has a New Sea Salt Caramel Apple Latte By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2022-09-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-salt-caramel-apple-latte References: [qsrmagazine](https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/bad-ass-coffee-hawaii-rolls-out-caramel-apple-and-pumpkin-pie-lattes) & [nrn](https://www.nrn.com/menu/menu-tracker-new-items-dairy-queen-krispy-kreme-and-wingstop/gallery?slide=1)  Fall is nearly here and [Bad Ass Coffee Of Hawaii](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-bloom-latte) is ushering in the new season with the launch of two tasty seasonal drinks: the new Sea Salt Caramel Apple Latte and the returning Island Pumpkin Pie Latte. Perfect for fall, both of the new lattes put a clever twist on classic autumnal flavors. The new Sea Salt Caramel Apple Latte is a delicious take on a caramel apple, combining caramel apple butter syrup, sea salt caramel sauce, frothed whole milk, a smooth layer of crema, and a dash of cinnamon on top. On the other hand, the [fan-favorite Island Pumpkin Pie Latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppin-pumpkin-spice-latte) combines the taste of pumpkin pie with macadamia nut syrup, cinnamon, whole milk, and espresso. Senior Marketing Manager at Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, Taylor Fish, explains, "As the cravings for fall flavors take over, we’re excited to bring an island twist that goes beyond the expectations of the season."
