PPL Pairings | Starbucks Fall Menu 2024

DARE to PAIR

Welcome to PPL Pairings, the side of the blog where unexpected combinations can span from delightful to deranged – you be the judge!

Below are some helpful hints for sampling our *pairing menu*:

1. TRY IT OUT
Open minds yield exciting combinations. Give our pairing a “no thank you” bite, so to speak. If you don’t love it, that’s okay! Feel free to try something else, if your new pair is any good – PLEASE let us know.

2. SHARE WITH CARE
If you LOVE love the pair, obviously you should tell your friends! Community is VITAL in creating the best and most interesting fusions. Sooooo… share your opinions, get some feedback and enjoy!

3. REMIX & REPEAT
Once you start trying unlikely pairings, you’ll catch the bug! Try fine-tuning some of these dynamic duos at home, work, with a book club or friend group. AND as always feel free to let us know if you strike gold.

Below is a list of Starbucks Fall Menu items + materials from our library collection we would pair with each. Tread carefully through the list because, OPINIONS MAY VARY. Read on, if you dare!
