Whether iced or hot, this drink is welcoming to any coffee enjoyer looking for a quick energy boost.
Hot Peppermint Mocha
This drink has a typical flavor profile expected from the jolly season. After receiving the hot holiday cup, the smell of peppermint can be found immediately, hugging the senses with a cool yet warm welcome. Hints of dark chocolate within the coffee create a bitter first impression, however, the peppermint adds a sweet and soothing aftertaste to cut the initial sip. The Peppermint Mocha can have one wanting more with its addicting palate.
Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai
With warm gingerbread notes and a cozy blend of spiced chai, this drink provides a warm hug and a delicious taste. The drink is light and airy from the steamed oat milk poured over top of the tea. It’s not too sweet nor overpowering in its flavoring, making it an enjoyable treat. Any chai enjoyer will find this drink to be a delightful seasonal twist on a classic order.
Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
This mix of Starbucks’ Blonde Espresso and sugar cookie flavors creates a light sweet flavor at first sip. The taste of sugar cookies is deliciously present without overpowering the espresso within the drink and is desirable to anyone. Its creaminess from the almond milk and the sweetness from the cookie flavors turns a simple coffee into an elevated treat. The presentation is also extremely festive with red and green sprinkles to perfectly wrap everything together.
Iced Toasted White Chocolate Signature Latte
This drink provides any creamy coffee lover with a blissful experience. The nutty coffee flavor from the toasted white chocolate keeps the beverage mildly sweet. It has an addicting combination of sweetness and creaminess with the addition of whipped cream and cinnamon being a cherry on top. This delight can be ordered either hot or iced.
