4 Summer Starbucks Drinks & How to Order Them
Does this Starbucks make me look basic?! My obsession with coffee runs deep and I’ve been a Starbucks lover for as long as I can remember. I used to get the same thing over and over and over again because we all know the anxiety of figuring out what to get plus trying to order it custom with this added, that removed, and double this.
Thankfully I’ve finally branched out from my same ol’ drink again and again, and have no shame in customizing each and every single order. [If you hate being that person customizing a drink at the counter, you can easily do it from their app!] So today I’ve rounded up some of my go-to summer Starbucks drinks and giving you the details on how to order them!
ICED COFFEE
Summer means trading in my hot coffee for unlimited amounts of iced coffee. Starbucks naturally adds sweetener to all of their iced drinks, plus way too much ice IMO. So here’s what I order: Grande Iced Coffee, Unsweetened with Coconut Milk and Light Ice. Probably the most basic summer coffee drink but it’s a classic and a good one!
ICED TEA
Move over pink drink, there’s a new fun drink in town! Sometimes I need a break from coffee so I like to switch things up with tea. I also love all things blueberry so their blueberry black tea feels like it was made for me! This typically comes with lemonade mixed in but I opt for no lemonade, I find it too sweet. So here’s what I order: Iced Blueberry Black Tea, Unsweetened, No Lemonade, with Coconut Milk and Light Ice. It’s equal parts delish and refreshing!
COLD BREW
Sometimes I need a little bit more punch and pick-me-up than an iced coffee has to offer so I’ll opt for cold brew. Cold brew is brewed and steeped differently which gives it that extra punch of caffeine and flavor. I order this two different ways depending on my mood so I’ll either ask for a Grande Unsweetened Cold Brew with Light Ice, or I’ll get a Grande Unsweetened Cold Brew with Coconut Milk and Light Ice. Not a huge difference between the two but just depends on my mood.
NITRO
If you haven’t had nitro coffee yet you are seriously missing out! It’s so silky smooth and has an incredibly delicious flavor…plus it packs some serious caffeine! I don’t get this super often just because of the high caffeine in it but it certainly is a nice treat when I’m dragging and hit that 2pm slump. Their nitro cold brew is delicious on it’s own but if you want to step things up a notch with even more delicious falvor, here’s what to order: Grande Nitro Cold Brew with Cascara Cold Foam. It is absolutely amazing!!! The cascara cold foam gives a nice slightly sweet taste without being too overpowering. So good!
