If you want to experience one of your favorite fruit juices in heat mode, then you'll certainly want to try the Steamed Apple Juice, which is made to give you rich apple deliciousness. "My fiancee loves the Steamed Apple Juice with cinnamon powder," says ONE37pm music editor Mike McLaughlin. "It's basically like apple cider low key. I didn't even know they had that!" So there you have it, add a little bit of cinnamon powder to make the drink a hot apple cider. Sounds so soulful don't you agree (Jay-Z voice)?

Next up is the White Chocolate Mocha which is sugar, spice, and everything nice with is warm milky flavor. The drink automatically comes with 2% milk, milk foam, four pumps of White Chocolate Mocha Sauce, whipped cream, and a shot of signature espresso roast, but you can customize to your liking. We personally like to add a couple of extra pumps of vanilla sweet cream to make the drink even sweater. "White Chocolate Mocha all day, " says ONE37pm community manager Garrett Dickey. "Terrible if you're counting calories!" Hey, it's the fall and winter. We deserve to splurge right?

• A fun way to customize it: Add a pump or two of vanilla syrup to go along with the pumpkin spice pumps

When it comes to fall drinks at Starbucks, we're not sure any drink has been more influential and in-demand than the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It automatically comes with 2% milk to make the drink slightly healthier, but if you're like me and want to go all out, then definitely bump it up to a whole milk. Not sure what it is, but make the latte thicker and brings out the taste more. If you really want to take the sweetness to the next level you can add a pump or two of vanilla to go along with the pumpkin spice pumps. Yum.

What's the holidays without a good ole holiday drink? Nothing we fear. No matter how many holiday seasons we experience, we can never get enough of the peppermint vibes.

We'll definitely be getting in again this winter for sure.

Winter isn't truly complete with hot chocolate. The Starbucks Hot Chocolate comes with 2% milk, milk foam, four pumps of Mocha Sauce, whipped cream, and mocha drizzle. If you want to bump the thickness of the drink up a bit, you can ask for whole milk instead of 2%, and if you're looking for extra sweetness, then you try some of the heavy cream to see how that works for you. The whole milk should do the trick though.

The Caramel Apple Spice is delicious. If you've never tried before, this is your cue to try it now. A traditional Caramel Apple Spice comes with four pumps of Cinnamon Dulce Syrup, caramel drizzle, and whipped cream. Personally, I like to request a pump or two of vanilla to be added in there as well because I believe vanilla brings out the flavor in everything. It's definitely very sweet without it and still tastes great either way.

If you want to keep it relatively light and healthy, than the Steamed Milk is the way to go. It's only 200 calories, comes with 2% milk (but you can make a request for whole milk), and is steaming hot. If the goal is to be healthy, then you can leave as is. If not, then go all out with the chocolate, caramel, and vanilla pumps. Steamed milk is a drink in the Caribbean which myself and ONE37pm gaming editor Elton Jones can relate to.

"I drink iced coffee but my fiancee's Starbucks order is as follows: Venti, hot, Caramel Macchiato with blonde espresso, extra foam, and extra caraml drizzle.

We also suggest the Chai Tea Latte for either a treat or a relatively healthy morning option. If you want to go healthy, you can request the milk be low fat (or no milk at all) and have the foam removed. If you want to take it in the opposite direction you can keep the whole milk and whip cream and some pumps of vanilla, chocolate, or caramel syrup. You could even add a shot or two of espresso if you need the energy. It's all up to you.

The Cinnamon Dolce Latte is the perfect treat for the cooler weather.

It's not necessary, but it doesn't hurt either.
