Starbucks Must-trys

It only seemed fitting that this make an official appearance on the blog with the opening (finally) of the Starbucks in Bracebridge. I think there is a solid chance I might be their best customer. Now before you get alarmed and start feeling bad for the local coffee shops my coffee addiction runs deep and I still frequent all those places too! BUT, like the basic b*tch/ loser that I am, Starbucks holds a special place in my cold, black heart. There is just nothing quite like spending $8 on a drink you might hate. Now although I have a lot of favourites and a lot of insights to share - INSIDER TIP, Bracebridge starbucks is getting cookie dough cake pops, you did not hear this from me - that is not the point here today. Today I want to share five of my current favourite drinks that I think you will actually love and feel okay spending a small fortune on. Load up your starbucks app with some funds and let’s get taste testing . . .

MOON MATCHA - This drink has been circulating through the accounts of some of our favourite influencers and one of my girlfriends sent it over as a must try. Firstly, I don’t love matcha, I find it a bit chalky and overrated BUT let me tell you, this was SO good and absolutely worth a try.

Here’s what to order - Iced matcha latte, with coconut milk, two pumps chai & vanilla cold foam (DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE COLD FOAM, it makes it!).

BROWN SUGAR OAT AMERICANO - For one thing the brown sugar syrup is actually sensational and should be added to everything. Another thing, this drink is delicious as is so no modifications needed. While we are on the subject of brown sugar oat drinks, the iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso is absolute heaven too. So there ya go a hot and a cold version, you’ll love them both, just trust me.

PINK DRINK - This used to be on the “secret menu” but everyone loved it so much Starbucks smartened up and gave it a permanent spot. What is it? Strawberry Acai Refresher with coconut milk and topped with real strawberries. It is a little on the sweet side but in a good way (IMO). It really is the perfect summer drink. Also photographs well . . . you’re welcome! Just ask for the “pink drink” and your barista will know what to do.

NITRO COLD BREW W/ VANILLA COLD FOAM - Nitro cold brew has actually become a go to for me in terms of just plain(ish) coffee beverages. It is smooth and delightful as is. Now add vanilla cold foam and you will never go back. Order it just like that and you are all set.

JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO - This coffee based delight is my go to treat and it is just that; quite the treat. Frapps are obviously not the healthiest decision but they certainly are a delicious one so really that is all the matters. My personal preference is to add extra whip and no chocolate drizzle. Starbucks whipped cream is absolutely heaven on earth and I will stand by this forever. Who else agrees?

Well that was easy. Five drinks to try right now that you will surely to goodness LOVE. However this blog would not be complete without me sharing my go to, in a panic, no idea what to get, order. Try it hot or iced, it is always perfect. Half sweet, non-fat, caramel macchiato (again hot or iced the exact same way) and voila, coffee tastebuds delighted. Please, please, please, if you try one of these and love it, tag me on the gram. If you hate it I am sorry but you will not be reimbursed for listening to my drink advice. Happy fancy coffee drinking week to all y’all!

Also this is not paid or endorsed by starbucks but it should be, so if any of you beautiful people have any pull I am ready for my starbucks sponsorship anytime (LOL).

Stay safe babes.
