New Drinks From Starbucks...
So, I think we need to have a talk, people...
Have you noticed the new drinks on the menu at Starbucks in recent weeks? If not, please allow me to enlighten you. Here are the new offerings:
Gingersnap Latte - Espresso, gingerbread and milk. (It used to be called just a "Gingerbread Latte.) It also (now) has crystallized ginger sprinkled on top.
Espresso Truffle - Espresso, European cocoa and milk.
Peppermint Mocha Twist - Espresso, chocolate and peppermint flavor. (They just added the "twist" to it, but this one is an oldie from seasons past.)
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate - Classic hot drinking chocolate with caramel and smoked salt.
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate - Classic hot drinking chocolate with hazelnut syrup in it.
All of these drinks, every single one of them, are a calorie fest. Talking about 300 calories a pop, just for a Tall cup.
Before you order them, you need to ask yourself, "Is it really worth it?"
And, should you find yourself drinking them just as a source of comfort, you should really be made aware that you could easily get the same sense of comfort from a few ounces of gin or a respectable-sized glass of red wine.
