CottageCore Starbucks Drinks And How to Order
These are drinks I personally have tried as a starbucks brista and really like. Also this is a note that I personally am not the biggest fan of coffee (I know, its ironic I work for starbucks) so most of these drinks will either have no coffee or it will not be very strong. Also feel free to modify these however you want! Let me know what you guys think!
Ask for a Matcha Green Tea Latte
Its a sweet, slightly earthy drink thats a nice dark green. Ask for whipped cream for the "snow" part of the drink. Can also be made as a frappuccino (which is the drink in the picture). This drink has no coffee in it.
If they ask if you want it sweetened say yes
Ask for them to add peach tea
Optional: Ask for a Black ice tea lemonade if you want it to be sweeter
This drink has no coffee in it. The taste is subtle but it is peachy and sweet and the contrast in the cup is really pretty too. The size in the picture is a Venti but you can get any size. Fyi: the drink might taste different every time you're ordering it cause the barista probably won't put the same amount of ingredients in it each time.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries🍫🍓
Add white chocolate mocha
Ask for strawberry puree in the sweet cream
This drink has coffee in it. This drink also has milk products in it. This drink if for you coffee lovers, its a chocolatey drink and the strawberry cold foam is sweet and light when it mixed with the drink. The color scheme is more or less like a chocolate covered strawberry, as the name includes. The chocolate is smooth, though the coffee makes it a bit more bitter, and the sweet cream with the puree tastes almost like melted strawberry ice cream or strawberry milk.
Optional: Can be made hot or iced, picture is iced for aesthetic reasons (and cats like cold milk 😉)
Optional: Ask for a vanilla steamer instead of a latte if you don't want coffee in your drink
Warning: Heavy cream is very fatty and is not good for you to drink often! If you are watching your weight do a different milk option. This drink has coffee in it. It is very thick and creamy, the sweet or the vanilla and honey and the bitter of the coffee really compliments each other with this, the coffee taste very subdued. It gets its name because it reminds me of something a cat would love to lap up (cats are lactose intolerant though so don't give them heavy cream please!)
Ask for a caramel macchiato
Ask if they will make it half apple juice half milk
Add cinnamon topping (note:some stores has this as a topping you can add yourself)
This drink probably tastes best hot, however I made it iced in the picture for aesthetic purposes (the iced version was good too though)
Optional: can be made as a frappuchino too! Just ask for a caramel frappuchino instead of a caramel macchiato and follow the rest of the steps!
This drink has coffee in it. It really does taste like apple pie! Its really good and the apple isn't too strong and mixed with the cinnamon nicely. You can add whipped cream if you want too! I know the picture is kind of bad but I couldn't get a good one while I was working (and the lighting sucked lol) but its good I promise 😭
Toffee Mountain Frappuchino 🗻
Optional: ask for the very berry hibiscus refresher of you don't want milk included
Optional: Add heavy cream if you want it to be more like a milkshake!
Warning: Heavy cream is very fatty and is not good for you to drink often! If you are watching your weight then don't get heavy cream. This drink does not have coffee in it. It is a very sweet drink with a nutty, salty tang that is very pleasant. The fruit and toffee nut compliment each other surprisingly well! It comes out a nice pastel pinkish-purple. Note: you'll have to ask if you want whipped cream with the berry inclusions on top!
Peppermint Addiction Milkshake 🍬🐄
Ask for a green tea frappuchino
Ask for only half the matcha (this is what makes the green tea part)
Warning: Heavy cream is very fatty and is not good for you to drink often! If you are watching your weight I would just avoid this particular drink and trying something else instead. This drink does not have coffee in it. This tastes a lot like the McDonald's shamrock shake, except better cause it doesn't come out of a machine. Its nice and thick and creamy like a milkshake and the peppermint works really well with the sweetness of the cream and matcha. Would highly recommend!
