今注目を集めている Does Starbucks Still Have Apple Ciderについて、詳しいまとめを整理して公開しています。

Fear not, my apple-obsessed friend. I’ve cracked the code after months of aggressive sipping research. Here’s your cheat sheet. First, ask for the “Caramel Apple Spice.” It’s steamed apple juice with cinnamon syrup, topped with caramel drizzle and a lemon slice. (Yes, lemon on apple sounds weird, but it works. Trust me.) Second, if a barista looks confused, say “the old hot apple cider, but with cinnamon dolce syrup”—that’s their secret workaround.

But here’s the real tea (or cider): Starbucks released a new fall drink in 2026 called the Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk Shaken Espresso. It’s not hot, it’s not cider, and it has coffee. It’s like they replaced your grandma’s apple pie with a protein bar—functional, but not the same. So unless you’re into cold, oat-milk experiments, stick to the secret menu hacks.

The Verdict: Is It Worth the Hunt?

Honestly? Yes, but only if you’re desperate. The Starbucks apple cider was never the best cider in the world—it was just convenient and nostalgic. You can get better cider at a local orchard or even a gas station (don’t knock it until you’ve tried a gas station cider in New England). But if you’re stuck in an airport at 6 AM and need that specific, slightly-too-sweet cinnamon kick, the Caramel Apple Spice will save you.

One last thing: never order “apple cider” at a Starbucks on a Sunday morning. It’s a recipe for a blank stare and a long, awkward silence. Instead, use the official Starbucks app and search for “steamed apple juice.” If the menu shows a caramel apple spice, you’re golden. If it shows nothing… well, there’s always Dunkin’.

So, does Starbucks still have apple cider? The answer is a Schrödinger’s cat situation: it both exists and doesn’t exist, depending on where you are and how persuasive your smile is. My advice? Make peace with the loss, order a dirty chai, and move on. Or, you know, just buy a bottle of store-bought cider, microwave it, and pretend you’re at a fancy coffee shop. I won’t tell anyone.
