Okay you guys, stop what you are doing right now because Halloween season is officially here and I am literally screaming over this drink! If you know me, you know I am obsessed with spooky season, witchy vibes, and finding new ways to level up my daily Starbucks run. I was chatting with my barista the other morning, and we came up with the ultimate autumnal concoction that tastes like pure fall magic in a cup.
Behold: the Sanderson Sisters Apple Cider! It is sweet, cozy, perfectly spiced, and tastes just like a fresh apple orchard wrapped in a broomstick ride. If you love our other Starbucks secret menu recipes, this one is about to be your new go-to all October long.
Never order this drink by its secret menu name! Baristas are not trained on secret menu titles, so you need to give them the exact syrup pumps and build instructions listed below.
Why You Will Love This Spooky Brew
This drink captures all the nostalgic flavors of warm apple cider, but adds a deliciously creamy, spiced twist that feels totally decadent. My kids actually tried to steal this from my hand before I could even take my first sip, so consider yourself warned.
It works amazingly well hot on a crisp morning, but you can also order it iced if you are living somewhere that still feels like mid-July during October.
How to Order the Sanderson Sisters Apple Cider
Remember, do not ask your barista for the Sanderson Sisters Apple Cider by name! Instead, hand them this exact recipe or type it directly into your Starbucks mobile app.
For a Hot Version (Venti Size):
- Start by ordering a Venti Steamed Apple Juice.
- Ask for 3 pumps of Chai Syrup to give it that spooky spice blend.
- Add 2 pumps of Brown Sugar Syrup for a rich, warm sweetness.
- Top it off with Whipped Cream, Caramel Drizzle, and a generous shake of Cinnamon Dolce topping.
For an Iced Version (Venti Size):
- Order an Iced Apple Juice in a Venti size over ice.
- Ask for 3 pumps of Chai Syrup.
- Add 2 pumps of Brown Sugar Syrup.
- Ask for Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam on top with Caramel Drizzle and Cinnamon Dolce sprinkle.
Pro Tips for Mobile Ordering
If you prefer using the Starbucks app to skip the line, it is super easy to customize:
- Go to the Cold Drinks or Hot Drinks menu and select Steamed Apple Juice (or Iced Apple Juice).
- Tap Customize and head to Flavors.
- Adjust the Chai Syrup to 3 pumps and add Brown Sugar Syrup (2 pumps).
