I always get hot chocolate, but feel like mixing it up today. I don't know much about coffee and always feel stupid ordering because coffee lingo is almost like another language to me. So, what do you usually order (and recommend)?

Re: What is your favorite Starbucks drink?
I love to get a Venti "2 pump" Mocha. Basically it's a plain latte with two pumps of the mocha flavor. I'm not sure how many pumps they put in a normal mocha but I think it's too much. 2 pumps seems to give it the perfect hint of chocolate.
Mmmm, now I want startbucks!
I'm not much a coffee drinker and I can't handle much caffeine. So, I always feel like I list off 10 million things in the event that I do order coffee. For coffee, I usually order a no fat, decaf caramel machiatto. But, really, I'm a tea drinker and love a no fat chai. I try and go to local coffee shops, but no one's chai is as spicy as starbucks.
Oh, and PP is right, the salted caramel hot chocolate is pretty awesome.
During the winter: peppermint mocha
During Fall/Spring: Nonfat caramel macchiato with extra caramel
During Summer: Iced nonfat caramel macchiato or an iced vanilla latte

Thanks, ladies! I went with the non-fat vanilla chai. It is good, but very sweet! I will have to try the others over the next week.
My favorite is a grande nonfat 6-pump no water chai... lol. It's so spicy and delicious!!
I also like nonfat caramel macchiato or nonfat vanilla latte

My favorite summer drink is a venti passion shaken iced tea lemonade, no classic syrup (makes it too sweet for me).
I've been off coffee since the new year (not really a resolution, just haven't been feeling it) but if I'm drinking coffee it's a venti mocha with an extra shot of espresso. Usually hot but sometimes iced.
My non-coffee drink is a venti shaken iced black tea, sweetened, no water added.
Ava and Charlotte like the chocolate banana smoothie
I worked there through college, so I have a different favorite based on my mood/the season/the weather. In the winter, it's usually either a nonfat zebra mocha (half white half dark chocolate -- it makes the regular mocha a bit sweeter), a nonfat raspberry mocha or a nonfat caramel macchiato (or a nonfat peppermint mocha or gingerbread latte around Christmas). When they had the dark cherry mocha, I was obsessed with it.
In the fall or when I don't want coffee, I get a venti steamed cider with one pump of cinnamon and one pump of caramel. I think the way they make caramel apple cider is too sweet, but I love it with one pump of each syrup and no whipped cream.
In the summer I almost always get a caffe vanilla light frappuccino. Yum.
