New Starbucks Seasonal Drinks
December 8, 2020
Since we are now in the month of December, it is full christmas mode. One of the best parts of the Christmas season is the holiday drinks at Starbucks. This year Starbucks has five holiday drinks for you to enjoy! These include: Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulee Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Eggnog Latte.
Not sure which one you want to try first? Never fear, here is a review on all the holiday drinks!
Peppermint Mocha: This drink is great for peppermint lovers. I really enjoyed this drink when I tried it. It has the perfect peppermint, chocolate and mocha combination. Now for the health facts: This grande drink has 440 calories, 15 g of fat, 45 g of sugar, and 175 mg of caffeine. Overall this drink is a good option to try.
Toasted White Chocolate Mocha: I will admit I am not a white chocolate lover and was not sure I would enjoy this drink, but I ended up loving it. This drink didn’t really taste like white chocolate to me. Now the health facts: This grande drink has 510 calories, 72 g of sugar, and 150 mg of caffeine. Overall, this drink is worth it to try. It might not be a good everyday drink because of the amount of sugar, but it is definitely worth the try.
Caramel Brulee Latte: Disclaimer, sorry to all the intense coffee drinkers if I insult your taste, but this drink just tastes like every other caramel drink I have ever had. There is really nothing special about this drink. It was good but tasted like a basic caramel coffee. Health facts: This grande drink has 410 calories, 49 g of sugar, and 150 mg of caffeine. Overall, I would say this drink isn’t really anything special and not worth it.
Chestnut Praline Latte: I did not particularly enjoy this one, I will be honest. It is exactly what it says it is. I just didn’t like the chestnut taste, not quite sure why. The health facts: This grande drink has 330 calories, 39 g of sugar, and 150 mg of caffeine. Overall, if you are a person who is into chestnuts and likes them, this drink would be a good fit for you.
Eggnog Latte: Usually, eggnog is drunk cold. However, this drink is served hot. Which I will admit, was a bit strange to me. Health facts: This grande drink has 450 calories, 52 g of sugar, and 150 mg of caffeine. Overall, if you are a die hard eggnog fan, this drink would be great for you to try. Although it was a bit strange because it was hot, it was still good and I would recommend it.
