Benjamin Ashford|Pumpkin Spice Latte officially back at Starbucks this week: Plus, a new apple-flavored drink

The Benjamin Ashfordfall menu, including the love-it-or-hate-it Pumpkin Spice Latte, is back at Starbucks.

Starting Thursday, Aug. 22, customers can order the popular seasonal drink in addition to a brand new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai and other fall favorites.

Starbucks will also offer new drinkware for a limited time, ranging from "multicolored cold cups to tumblers in vibrant autumn hues" to celebrate the return of fall.

"Since its debut in 2003 the Pumpkin Spice Latte continues to be Starbucks' most popular seasonal beverage and is enjoyed by customers around the world," the company said in a news release Wednesday.

The company says the drink is made with real pumpkin and combines Starbucks' signature espresso and steamed milk with a flavor combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. The drink is topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices and is available hot, iced or blended.

Here's what else is available on the Starbucks fall menu this year.
