| IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS | STARBUCKS JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE HOLIDAYS, and is releasing their second Holiday 2017 cup design (pictured above) tomorrow, November 28th, for a very limited time. This design continues the central theme of hands and giving that is present in Starbucks’ 2017 Holiday branding, featuring two hands forming a heart over a simple white-heart-on-red-cup background. Our trusted source tells us that Starbucks is sending their locations very limited...

I JUST GOT THE CHANCE TO TRY THE VERY EXCLUSIVE STARBUCKS JUNIPER LATTE and it’s definitely a trip. Also, check out that snazzy black and gold Starbucks Reserve cup, which all hot Starbucks Reserve coffee bar drinks come in. Starbucks’ description of the Juniper Latte: “The beverage starts with Starbucks Reserve® Christmas brewed as espresso and steamed milk infused with a syrup made with dried juniper berries, sage and mandarin. The beverage is finished with latte art and a...

| IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS.COM | STARBUCKS IS GETTING SUPER FANCY at some of their Reserve coffee bar locations. What is it? This drink sounds amazing. Starbucks describes, quite poetically, how the drink itself will transport you into a winter wonderland of the senses through its deeply evocative smells and flavors. I’ll do my best to get one and let you know if it does as advertised. The Juniper Latte is made with Starbucks Reserve Christmas 2017 coffee beans. These beans are a...

ONE OF OUR READERS JUST ASKED ME how to order modified drinks at Starbucks, and as I was typing a response, I realized I should put it up here for everyone to see. What am I even talking about? In order to modify your Starbucks drink to your liking, you need to know your options, and that starts here. The ingredients in a Starbucks drink are said in a specific order. This is the same as the order on the cup, read from top to bottom, and how Baristas are trained to write them. Rattling off...

IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS I had the chance to try the Chestnut Praline Chai Tea Latte both yesterday and today, and I was excited. Chestnut praline syrup is great to mix with several of the other Starbucks syrups, and Starbucks is starting to utilize its potential after having it for several years. The basic flavor profile is given in the official Starbucks description of the Chestnut Praline Chai Tea Latte: “Your beloved Chai gets a holiday twist with the complementary flavors of caramelized...

IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS I FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO TRY THE STARBUCKS TOASTED WHITE MOCHA after planning to do so since before its release. Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha: “Our rich espresso, steamed milk and flavors of caramelized white chocolate are topped with whipped cream and candied cranberry sugar. And like the holidays, this drink is here, then gone.” My Recommendation As always, I recommend getting hot...

IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS THE INTERNET IS GOING CRAZY for these “Rose Gold” Starbucks cups, or as Starbucks officially calls them: Pink Cold Cups. We see here, again, that Starbucks has fully embraced their ultra-Instagrammable strategy that worked so well with the Unicorn Frappuccino, and I like it. The painted pink one is my favorite, but I appreciate all the flashy cups Starbucks releases, and the way they did the sequin one is really cool. If you want to pick one of these up, do...

PHOTO FROM STARBUCKS.COM STARBUCKS IS PERPETUALLY MAKING MOVES, especially in Chicago, according to Starbucks: “This spectrum of Starbucks retail experiences is not new for Chicago: Since opening in 1987, the Chicago customer has seen many firsts from the company…” The newest inclusion in the “spectrum” of Starbucks in Chicago is their planned Chicago Reserve Roastery, illustrated as a very impressively massive (43,000 square feet!), shiny, glass concept and set...

IMAGE FROM STARBUCKS.COM STARBUCKS NOW INCLUDES THEIR CARAMEL BRULÉE LATTE in their menu of returning Holiday drinks that they bring back every year, but despite being a fan of caramel, I’ve always missed the availability window of this drink, so I hadn’t tried it. This year, I made sure to give it a shot before it disappears again, when the Holiday season fully ends at Starbucks and they stop restocking stores with Caramel Brulée sauce, which will probably happen a few months...

IMAGE: EMBER.COM What’s a Smart Mug? LAST YEAR, STARBUCKS BRIEFLY CARRIED THE ORIGINAL $150 EMBER SMART TRAVEL MUG before it rapidly sold out. What’s a Smart Mug, you ask? Well, in the case of the Ember mug, it can keep your drink at a desired (hot) temperature for “approximately two hours”, eliminating the everyday annoyance of your coffee or tea being either too hot or too cold 90% of the time you’re actually drinking it. It will not heat up your beverage if...
