I work at a WPS SB location on a small college campus. there's only 2 baristas, myself and another girl and for the most part we get full creativity when making drinks for the holidays since we don't usually get ALL the SB stuff. We want to make a couple drinks for a promotion the week of Halloween but since we only have the basics SB menu we're having some trouble coming up with a lot. So far all we have is a pumpkin spice latte with matcha cold foam so it looks like a pumpkin 🎃... anyone have any ideas?

not that it looks like anything but i really like a psl with white mocha and 1 pump of chai

dude if that’s a grande and full pumps wm that’s so sugary
lindsay-afton7 points1y ago
nah i do a venti with 2 pumpkin 2 wm and 1 chai. i would not recommend full pumps lmao but also! who cares if it’s sugary!!!!!! baristas who whine about how much sugar ppl put in their body need to relax a bit imo. not my body, idc

yeah that’s reasonable
and i disagree we should be more conscious about pushing these sugary drinks

pumpkin hot chocolates are to die for 🤤 both regular mocha and white mocha are good

Caramel macchiato with pumpkin instead of vanilla looks like fall!

What about a iced matcha latte with strawberry puree in sweet cream cold foam on top? Although that may be more christmas-like.

Maybe a Mocha cookie crumble with strawberry drizzle on top and on the bottom of the cup?

we don't get cookie crumble 😭😭😭 just the basics, we're a "we proudly serve" so we get the bare minimum menu, just the bones lol

Ohhhh okay!! I def missed that. Maybe an iced mocha with strawberry drizzle on the whip? Iced matcha with mocha cold foam so it looks like Frankenstein or something?

just stick your hand in the blender for a frightful frapp :) jk please don’t, this is what i tell my regulars when it’s busy lol. we did a matcha frapp and drew a zombie face on the cup with strawberry drizzle over the whip to look like brains for a few kiddos and they seemed to like it!!

Elvira frap, its just a java chip frap with extra white and regular mocha drizzle on the sides and on the whip. Idk, lots of better ideas on here.

Lemonade with strawberry puree poured over top (after its iced and all)?
Mango dragonfruit (or dragon drink) with matcha foam

Might be complicated but today we made a latte w/ vanilla bean powder stirred and then cinnamon powder steamed in with whip and people said it tasted like fall lol

I love the combo of pumpkin and chai. My go to is a dirty pumpkin chai, but I'm simple. Maybe add whipped cream and cinnamon dolce sprinkles? Idk

Last year, the licensed store I worked at made a star drink with caramel drizzle on the side and foam + mocha drizzle on top. Some people say the star drink tastes like a green jolly rancher, which was the inspiration for this. I thought it was bad but maybe you can do something with this lol.

i’m sorry but that sounds god awful

I think maybe just the star drink with caramel drizzle might be okay? But I... don't know. I had customers come and order "the halloween drink" multiple months past the fact so it must have struck a chord with somebody...
djgroovygreen2 points1y ago
i... PEOPLE LIKE IT??? but it might just be because i hate kiwi star fruit in general it smells like medicine 🤮
djgroovygreen2 points1y ago
nevermind just reread this and saw you didn’t like it either, cool! glad we’re on the same page
