Starbucks came out on November 3rd with their Christmas drinks, so Olivia and I thought we would try the different drinks and review them.
Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai-
Taylor: Chai itself is my go-to drink, so I was excited to try this one. It wasn’t what I expected; It was very similar to an iced pumpkin chai latte. Overall It was good, but it wasn’t what I thought it would be like.
Olivia: As a chai fanatic, this one was a bit of a letdown. The chai base itself was super good, except I got it with 2% milk. The gingerbread cold foam was a major letdown though. It tasted way too similar to the pumpkin cream cold foam, which I still love but I wanted something different to taste like Christmas.
Peppermint Mocha-
Taylor: Personally I like my drinks cold, but I got this one hot and it was really good. It definitely was giving off Christmas vibes, and if you love peppermint drinks I think this would be a good drink to try.
Olivia: It is a major Christmas staple in my opinion, as this drink enters my mouth I can just feel the Christmas spirit. The peppermint flavor can be a tad overwhelming sometimes, but there are some days when this drink will just hit the spot. This drink is amazing either hot or iced, but if you’re looking to get in a Christmas mood, you should definitely try this one.
Caramel Brulee Latte-
Taylor: It wasn’t my favorite drink, but it was still good. I think it would be better if I liked coffee, overall it was okay.
Olivia: I am not a crazy coffee drinker, but this drink wasn’t absolutely horrible. It was a good coffee, I just don’t like the taste of coffee.
Chestnut Praline Latte-
Taylor: I’m not a big coffee drinker or Chestnut-flavored person, but I thought it was good. I don’t think I would get it again just because it’s coffee, but it was nice just for something different.
Olivia: I am not crazy about chestnuts or coffee, so this one was not one I would buy again. It had a little bit too much coffee in my opinion, I just think there are better options.
Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte-
Taylor: This drink actually surprised me a little bit. I think out of all the coffee drinks I’ve had, this would be one of the better ones. I think I would’ve been okay without the red and green sprinkle toppings, but it wasn’t bad.
Olivia: This one is pretty yummy in my opinion; this was my favorite drink out of all of the coffees, (probably because it’s the one that tastes the least like coffee) but it was pretty good.
