A PSL History

Pumpkin spice latte and other variants of this fall flavor drink have been popular for well over a decade now. But when did the PSL craze start?

Starbucks started developing the Pumpkin Spice Latte in January 2003 following the successful introduction of winter seasonal drinks such as the Peppermint Mocha and Eggnog Latte. According to Peter Dukes, Starbucks’ director of Espresso Americas, developers tested ten products with consumers, with the pumpkin spice latte coming out in the middle of the group after chocolate and caramel flavors. The company experimented with different combinations and ratios of pumpkin to spice, ultimately deciding on a recipe with no pumpkin in it. Later, in 2015, they changed the recipe to include pumpkin and remove artificial colors. The ingredients announced included a “pumpkin pie flavored syrup” made with sugar, condensed skim milk, pumpkin puree, coloring, and preservative.

Who knew that a simple seasonal drink would have such an impact? The success of the Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte directly contributed to other brands picking up the pumpkin spice flavor and running with it. According to Datassential Menu Trends, restaurants’ pumpkin-inspired limited-time offers were up 234 percent from 2008 to 2012, while overall limited-time menu offers grew by 143 percent over the same period.” These items include pumpkin M&M’s, Dunkin’ Donuts pumpkin-flavored coffee K-packs, and pumpkin-flavored whiskey. Companies have also manufactured pumpkin spice lotion, shampoo, and candles.
