It's a little on the sweet side. BUT...very glad this drink exists. If you omit the whipped cream and the caramel and just have the hot cider with the cinnamon... it is the BEST STUFF if you are getting over the cold/flu. So keep this in mind this season when you are feeling a little under the weather. Served up this way (without the dairy and caramel) - it will really help soothe a sore throat!

this is an excellant fall drink or winter, but people order it all year round. Nice thing about it is there is no coffee for the none coffee drinkers out there. We also use Premium Apple Juice which helps a bunch too.

it has a great winter taste--esp. good with whipped cream! most deff. my favorite starbucks treat ;)

I love the Starbucks seasonal drinks and this one especially hits the spot for me in autumn.
