#FOOD: STARBUCKS INTRODUCES “SANGRIA” AND COCONUT MILK MOCHA BEVERAGE!

Just when we couldn’t handle the excitement of Starbucks‘ Sunset Menu launched just last month, today we get two scintillating new offerings from our fave Coffee purveyor! We’d like you to meet the Berry Sangria Herbal Tea and the Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato!

Isn’t that beautiful? The Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato is out now!

Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato

This is decadence.  We love the Caramel Macchiato in the fall/winter so having it in cold form is a bit of a tough-sell.

We watched our Barista fill our cup and about 2/3 of this is their Sumatra Coconut Milk (we love!), topped with mocha syrup, espresso and caramel drizzle.  The caramel drizzle in a cold beverage takes a bit of getting used to – we’re told it’s also known as “Cali style“. But overall this is a v. delicious beverage. A bit much to consume on the daily, but this will be our go-to when we want to treat ourselves this summer. More here.

Legit tastes like Sangria. The new Berry Sangria Herbal Tea at #Starbucks. Out now. I like it half-sweet.

Berry Sangria Herbal Tea

If like me you prefer your coffee in the AM and love Iced Tea in the afternoons, this is the ONE. It legit tastes like Sangria, complete with the iced tea infused with the flavour of swirly citrus slices and berries in the cup.  I love sweets, believe me, but I prefer this customized as half-sweet.  Phenomenal and right up there on the level of greatness of their Mango Black Tea Lemonade. More here.
