If you're basic (like me) you absolutely love love love the autumn and winter coffee seasons. Just thinking about a pumpkin spice latte or a peppermint mocha frappuccino makes my tummy happy. Alas, after autumn and winter comes spring and, with spring, comes no fun Starbucks flavors... or are there?
Smoked Butterscotch Latte
Have you ever been to Harry Potter World at Islands of Adventures and had a butterbeer? It's a must-do experience, but maybe not often (after all, it is quite sweet). This beverage, however, is a toned down version of butterbeer PLUS caffeine. Damn.
Dirty Cinnamon Chai Latte
'Dirty' isn't exactly the most appetizing word, am I right? But seriously, you're going to dig this drink. Cinnamon chai lattes are so good, but they don't have much caffeine... Well, not anymore. By adding 'dirty,' you take your classic cinnamon chai latte and add a shot of espresso. That'll keep you going for a couple of hours on a tiresome Monday.
Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
I know, it's not a caffeinated beverage for my fellow coffee lovers. However, if you think about it, it tastes just like a vanilla milkshake. Such a good pick-me-up for the middle of the day.
Cappuccino
Cappuccinos are such a classic, but I feel as if they are overlooked at Starbucks (I mean, they do have a lot of appetizing looking beverages to try out). Well, these are one of my favorites to order. The ratio of foam to espresso is just perfect. You can add a flavor or just keep it classic. Customization is so great.
White Chocolate Mocha
This drink is perfect if you want to reminisce about the winter months when peppermint mocha was a thing. Have it hot or have it iced, it's definitely going to tickle your taste buds with its subtle sweetness.
Cool Lime Refresher
If you're not a coffee fanatic but still want a little bit of caffeine for your system, then hit up the cool lime refresher. There are a few flavors of refreshers, but what makes this one so great is that it's like a cool glass of limeade on a warm spring day. Scrumptious!
Iced Hazelnut Macchiato
It's well-known that the iced caramel macchiato is one of the most ordered drinks at Starbucks. However, maybe it's time to switch it up once in a while. Adding a shot of hazelnut instead of caramel still keeps that milky sweetness that everyone loves, just a tad bit nuttier.
