I've been looking for a decent pumpkin spice flavoured syrup to try to recreate my favorite Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte at home without much luck. So far I've tried the Pumpkin Spice Syrups from Monin and Sweetbirds which were both a total waste of money. The Sweetbirds one especially was so horrid it had to be thrown away.
The Skinny Syrups brand is one that I've found a few times before in TK Maxx. I like their sugar free Vanilla and Gingerbread syrups and prefer them now to the full-on sugary kind. My husband bought me their Pumpkin Spice and Pumpkin Caramel varieties as a gift recently (I think he paid a fortune on Amazon) and thankfully I enjoyed both varieties for making lattes at home.
The Skinny Syrups Pumpkin Spice has a nice amount of spices coming through with the sweet pumpkin. It's similar to the sugar free Gingerbread syrup I already have but with a distinctive hint of pumpkin. The Skinny Syrups Pumpkin Caramel variety is slightly sweeter and has a creamy undertone. As they're both sugar free they do have a bit of an artificial aftertaste, which might ruin the flavor for some - I found it especially noticeable in the Pumpkin Caramel variety.
Even though neither of these flavours is a patch on a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice (why don't they just sell Pumpkin Spice syrups instore already?), I'm glad that I tried both these flavours. I would definitely buy the Skinny Syrups Pumpkin Spice variety again next year.
