It’s almost Halloween which means only one thing to our American cousins – Pumpkin Spice everything.

But since it’s too hot in the Southern Hemisphere for a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, the folks at 7-Eleven have whipped up a Pumpkin Spice Slurpee instead.

For the uninitiated, Pumpkin Spice is a popular American flavouring made from a mix of pumpkin and warm spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and clove. It is said to taste sweet and caramelly, like a pumpkin pie dessert.

A spokesperson for 7-Eleven said: “We’ve witnessed the hype that is all-things Pumpkin Spice in the US and have listened to the cry of Aussies in true 7-Eleven style. Our new Pumpkin Spice Latte Slurpee is set to be a highly sought-after flavour this Halloween, but it won’t be around for long.”

The squash-flavoured slushie hits 7-Eleven stores nationwide from October 15 for a limited time only.  For more details, head to 7eleven.com.au.
