I am just gonna say it! I miss Starbucks! Yes, I know I can get it delivered, but I am trying to avoid receiving deliveries during the quarantine. Starbucks is not just about the drinks, it’s hangouts with friends, meetups, free wifi :)…..just the overall atmosphere. But, the drinks are the real heroes. My favourite drink is the Chai Tea Latte. At first, I called this name “stupid” because chai means tea, so basically, this is Tea Tea latte, right? However, the name no longer mattered after I tasted the drink, it is delicious! I have a few yays and nays drinks, and I am always trying the new ones as they come out.
Here are ten of my favourite Starbucks drinks:
1. Chai Tea Latte- My fav of the favs!
Black tea infused with cinnamon, clove and other warming spices is combined with steamed milk and topped with foam for the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.
2. Iced Caramel Macchiato
This is one of the most popular Starbucks drinks. Rich, full-bodied espresso with vanilla-flavoured syrup, milk and ice, then top it off with a caramel drizzle for an oh-so-sweet finish.
3. Blonde Vanilla Latte
This is a little on the healthier side. Just request non-fat milk and sugar-free vanilla syrup. Blonde Espresso, velvety steamed milk and vanilla syrup come together to create a delightful new twist on a beloved espresso classic. An ideal cup for those who prefer a lighter-roasted coffee.
4. Pumpkin Spice Latte
This is a fall drink so I usually indulge in this, despite the sugar. I love fall, pumpkins, Halloween, everything cozy! Starbucks signature espresso and steamed milk with the celebrated flavour combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Enjoy it topped with whipped cream and real pumpkin pie spices.
5. Matcha Latte
I love Matcha. I make this healthier by requesting non-fat milk and no sugar. Pure matcha green tea is steamed with milk and sweetened. A perfect hot companion day or night.
6. Peppermint Mocha
This is a classic holiday drink and I love anything with peppermint, it clears my sinus lol….this is delicious!
Espresso Roast combined with steamed milk, sweet mocha sauce and peppermint-flavoured syrup. Topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.
7. Flat White
This is a pretty drink! Smooth ristretto shots of espresso get the perfect amount of steamed whole milk to create a not-too-strong, not-too-creamy, just-right flavour.
8. Witch’s Brew Frappuccino
A very spooky Halloween drink. Very magical and purple!
The charming concoction starts with a purple blend of “toad’s breath” and orange crème Frappuccino and a swirl of green “bat warts” (made with chia seeds). A topping of vanilla whipped cream and dusting of green “lizard scale” powder finishes the beverage.
9. Strawberry Açaí Lemonade Refresher
This ismy summer go-to drink!
Sweet strawberry flavours, passion fruit and açaí notes balanced with the delightful zing of lemonade, caffeine from the green coffee extract and served over ice. This is the ultimate pick-me-up your afternoon is calling for.
10. Salted Caramel Mocha- hmmm caramel….
Blended mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup with coffee, milk and ice, then finish it off with sweetened whipped cream, caramel sauce and a blend of turbinado sugar and sea salt for an explosion of flavour in every sip.
There are a few more that I like, but these are my top favourites.
Are you a Starbucks fan? If so, then what is your fav drink??? Note: I mostly request non-fat milk and no sugar when I am ordering my Starbucks drinks, unless I wanna really indulge.
