Para celebrar el 20 aniversario de su pumpkin spice latte, Starbucks ha añadido una tercera bebida de calabaza a su menú de otoño.A partir del jueves, el chai latte helado con crema de calabaza se une a la gama de calabazas de la empresa, que también incluye la infusión fría de crema de calabaza, que regresa por quinto año.Esta incorporación al menú de temporada se debe a que los clientes de Starbucks prefieren cada vez más las bebidas frías a las calientes, independientemente de la temperatura exterior. Los consumidores más jóvenes, como los de la generación Z, han impulsado esta tendencia. El otoño pasado, las bebidas frías representaron más de tres cuartas partes de las ventas de bebidas de Starbucks.Los locales Reserve de Starbucks, más exclusivos y que también sirven alcohol, también servirán por primera vez bebidas especiales con especias de calabaza. El menú de otoño de Reserve incluye un espresso martini con especias de calabaza, en línea con la moda del espresso martini, y ...Xi, Putin and other leaders locked in discussions over an expansion of the BRICS economic bloc

Jurors heard more testimony from a victim as the trial of a former Hialeah officer accused of kidnapping and beating up a homeless man entered its third day. On Wednesday morning, the defense spent most of their time questioning the victim, Jose Ortega Gutierrez, on events that he did or did not remember. He took the stand on Tuesday.

During his testimony, Gutierrez appeared frustrated and often took deep breaths as he answered questions. “Isn’t that your hope, that when you go back to court on this pending drug case that you’re facing 20 years, is it you hope the Attorney’s Office will give you ti...Officer shoots dog after being bitten in Pembroke Pines

Now, the federal government is funding millions of dollars in airport construction projects to help address the issue.In an announcement shared first with CNN, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that $121 million from agency grants and from a 2021 infrastructure law will be doled out to eight airports from Florida to Alaska.This comes three months after the FAA announced $100 million in similar funding for a dozen other airports.The largest outlay in the latest round of funding is $44.9 million “to simplify the airport layout” at Boston Logan International Airport, the FAA said.Logan is where a collision was narrowly avoided this year.

(CNN) — India has landed its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the moon, becoming only the fourth nation ever to accomplish such a feat.The mission could cement India’s status as a global superpower in space. Previously, only the United States, China and the former Soviet Union have completed soft landings on the lunar surface.Chandrayaan-3’s landing site is also closer to the moon’s south pole than any other spacecraft in history has ventured. The south pole region is considered an area of key scientific and strategic interest for spacefaring nations, as scientists believe the region to be home to water ice deposits.The water, frozen in shadowy craters, could be converted into rocket fuel or even drinking water for future crewed missions.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently in South Africa for the BRICS Summit, watched the landing virtually and shared broadcasted remarks on the livestream.“On this joyous occasion…I would like to address all the people of the...Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte is back, and it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary
