Costco is now carrying Starbucks' iconic fall drink in convenient glass bottles. For the past several years, Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte has become synonymous with autumn. Now the company is offering a blended version of its signature latte in the form of ready-to-drink bottles.
Costco recently confirmed that it will carry bottled Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccinos at select locations for a limited period of time. The festive fall drink comes in a nine and a half ounce bottle and can be purchased in packs of 12. Unlike traditional Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the festive Frappuccinos are designed to be served cold. The new promotion makes it easier than ever to enjoy Starbucks' classic drink from the comfort of your own home.
For those who can't make it to Costco, Starbucks' Iced Espresso Classic Pumpkin Spice Latte is also available at select grocery stores.
