What is your favorite Starbucks drink?

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?

  • Have you tried the salted caramel hot chocolate?  I like Caramel Macchiato or some kind of flavored latte, depending on the season.

  • 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 don't drink coffee so I usually get a non fat vanilla chai, so yummy!
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I don't drink coffee but I love hot chai, and I've also gotten steamers which is just hot milk with the flavors.  I like the pumpkin spice steamers in fall, and the peppermint white mocha in winter.
  • 1/2 caf[feine] peppermint (or raspberry, depending on my mood and the season) mocha.  Sometimes I'll make it a "skinny" (meaning nonfat milk and no whipped cream). 
  • 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

  • White choc. peppermint mocha which I think I can blame on you Jenna! I didn't even know it existed.
  • 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.
