Spooky season has arrived at Starbucks and with it comes a brand new limited-edition beverage which is set to spook you to the core.
If you're looking to switch up your morning coffee routine then you're in luck, as for a limited time only you can match your drink to the season and get spooky at Starbucks.
Swooping onto the menu is the Sour Apple Frappuccino Blended Beverage, featuring a creamy base of tantalising sour apple flavour, a drizzle of black sauce made from white mocha and topped with a green apple flavour whipped cream.
From toffee apples and apple bobbing to trick-or-treating, the forbidden fruit is synonymous with autumn and Halloween. However when you try this drink, there'll be no tricks but only treats once you take your first sip of this delicious concoction.

The new drink lands today, Thursday 20 October 2022, and is available across all UK stores and Drive-Thrus whilst stock lasts.
And it doesn't stop there, you can also bag yourself a terrifying treat to compliment your drink. Making a momentous return is Starbucks' beloved Gingerbread Skeleton Biscuit, a subtly spiced ginger biscuit, hand-iced and dressed for trick-or-treating in a bewitching barista apron.
Or why not try their new Rest In Chocolate Muffin, a chunk-filled chocolate sponge with a soft chocolate centre, topped with a spooktacular white chocolate tombstone.

Halloween at Starbucks also means the arrival of magical merchandise for you to get your claws on, their Glow In The Dark Cold Cup is adorned with spine-tingling spider webs and complete with a holographic sticker set for you to decorate and make the cup your own.
You'll also receive a 25p discount off your drink when you bring your reusable cup into store, so it's a no brainer really.
To find your nearest Starbucks location so you can try out the drink for yourself, use their handy store locator.

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

"Our chefs are Greek, bringing authentic knowledge and experience from Greece. The interior design will also reflect the style of the Greek islands, so when people visit they will feel like they are stepping into a little part of Greece."
They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably.
