So I keep seeing these referenced in various media formats but I don’t recall ever seeing one on the menu where I live (Australia). Maybe they are sold under a different name? Maybe only in some places and I wasn’t paying attention? I don’t know, but I sure know I’ve never ordered one.
Am I missing out? What do these taste like? What’s the hype all about?
Also- is there a popular food/drink you aren’t against trying, that you haven’t tried yet?
We don’t have Halloween as hard as the yanks do so we don’t have the pumpkin culture.
The drink doesn’t taste of spiced pumpkin, like the name suggests, rather it tastes of the spices you add to a pumpkin dish.
I am not a coffee drinker or pumpkin water so I have no clue how that tastes.
As for the hype, I believe it has to do with it being seasonal like hot cross buns are crazy popular at Easter, but the rest of the time they are unavailable.
That makes sense. But I wouldn’t be surprised it may be available as a novelty drink somewhere?
Mmmm hot cross buns yum
Pumpkin and fall-themed things in the US are actually largely decoupled from Halloween. You’d never, for example, see a Halloween display mixed in with fall decor items in a store.
