The new drink at Starbucks sounds interesting, it is hot apple juice rather than coffee, tea or milk as a base.
I wasnt quite sure what to expect, but the taste of cooked apples turn very sour.
From the product shot, I really liked the golden clear liquid topped with cream, however when I got mine, it was in a paper cup, and its best features couldn't be seen by others, it just looked like I was holding a normal coffee or some hot drink from Starbucks.
According to the US website for Starbucks, this drink is classified as a kids drink.

The Caramel apple spice winter drink is basically steamed, freshly pressed apple juice and cinnamon syrup, topped with sweetened whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
In the US, they also do a plain version (steamed apple juice without the cream).
I took my first sip, and it was better than expected, it wasn't the type of apple juice that you would get from a carton, it was like McDonalds apple pie filling in liquid form, it was slightly sour, but the sourness was not that eye squinting sourness of carton apple juice.
The spices in the drink made it pleasant, the whipped cream made the drink even more dreamy.
I would have loved more cream and caramel, it was like drinking apple pie.
If the cream was ice-cream, it would be like drinking apple pie and ice-cream.
But the whipped cream and caramel tasted perfect with the steamed apple juice.
