When October ends expect many businesses to release their holiday themed products. Specifically, Starbucks has brought back their signature holiday red cups along with six different holiday-inspired beverages.
Disclaimer: I have not tried every drink on this list and will judge the drinks I haven’t tried based off their descriptions.
- Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte- Currently at every Starbucks I have been to, this drink is sold out. Luckily for me, I had the opportunity to try it and it was a life-changer, meaning it’s my new favorite beverage at Starbucks. This drink is number one because of the authentic and recognizable flavor of a sugar cookie and the green, red, and white sprinkles add sweetness plus beautify the drink.
- Chestnut Praline Latte- If you are a fan of nutty flavors, you will love this drink. The flavor is a mix of roasted caramelized chestnuts and spices which screams that the holiday season is here. Before trying the iced sugar cookie almond milk latte, this drink was my go-to for the holiday season, which is why this drink is ranked second.
- Irish Cream Cold Brew- I applaud Starbucks for adding this drink to their menu for all their vanilla cold brew fans because this flavor is underrated. The Irish cream flavor is an amped up version of the classic vanilla flavor. This drink is ranked third in this list because of how classic the flavor is, and the hint of cocoa adds that seasonal touch.
- Caramel Brulée Latte- If you want to enhance your caramel latte experience, this drink is for you. I haven’t tried this drink yet because so many people say it’s overly sweet, what with the added caramel brulée bits. I ranked this drink fourth because I am a fan of caramel lattes, though I probably won’t go out of my way to have an extra sweet caramel beverage.
- Toasted White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino- This drink reminds me of the richer cousin of the classic hot chocolate drink. The last time I had a Frappuccino from Starbucks would be about eight years ago when I was in middle school. It’s a blended beverage featuring roasted coffee, caramelized white chocolate flavor topped with whipped cream, sugar sparkles and white pearls. This drink is ranked fifth because I’m not a fan of frappuccinos, but the flavor of the drink seems promising.
- Peppermint Mocha Latte- If you are a fan of mint chocolate, you need to try this drink. People are normally 50-50 on this drink meaning they either love it or hate it. I am a part of the people who despise this drink.
