Favorite Starbucks Drinks


If you guys haven't already figured out I am a coffee addict and have been for quite some time. Additionally, I am absolutely on Team Starbucks and have been since my very first cup of coffee (it only took one vanilla latte to get me hooked)! Therefore, over the years I have adapted and compiled some personal favorite drinks that I would love to share with you all today!

1. Cinnamon Dolce Latte
This latte tastes like fall in a cup to me even when it isn't fall and is my go-to FAVORITE latte! I drink this year round, even on hot summer days. It tastes both fabulous hot as well as cold! I like to have it made with soy milk (which makes it creamier, in my opinion) and ask for no whipped cream to cut some of the calories.

2. Passion Tea Lemonade
This refreshing summer drink is always one of my top choices. One fun twist that I always do to this drink is ask for half classic syrup, half raspberry syrup. The combination of the tangy passion fruit with the sweet raspberry is perfect to quench your thirst! I also like this drink a lot because it's not super sweet like some lemonades can be.

3. Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino
Although it may be hard to believe, I'm not a huge frappuccino fan. Between the amount of calories in them as well as how full they make me, I just typically don't order them. However, when I do choose to splurge (and I loved the Mini Frappuccino's for this) my all time favorite is the Caramel Ribbon Crunch. To me this has the most delicious caramel flavor and I love the small crunchy bits on top!

4. Pumpkin Spice Latte
To say I am excited about the changes that Starbucks is making to this latte is a large understatement. I was so happy to hear the news that Starbucks was going to be using real pumpkin as well as removing the caramel coloring in this year's Pumpkin Spice Lattes. This latte has always been a favorite of mine since fall is my absolute favorite time of year! A small part of me dies each winter when my local Starbucks runs out of the ingredients to make this. However, like with the Cinnamon Dolce Latte, I always get it prepared with soy milk and no whipped cream. 

5. Eggnog Latte
Last but not least, the latte that warms my heart when I can no longer get a Pumpkin Spice Latte, is the Eggnog Latte. Although this is again a seasonal drink, I truly believe it is one of the best at Starbucks! They do a perfect job with using the eggnog but not letting the flavor overpower the latte. If this doesn't make you want to sit around a fireplace or wear adorable mittens, I don't know what will. I know for sure that it always puts the spring back in my step while trudging through the cold!

I hope you all enjoyed this list and love these drinks just as much as I do. Happy caffeinating! 

Best,
Jillian
