Welcome back, everyone! As some of you may know, Starbucks has released their holiday menu and it is back and better than ever! As a coffee lover, I absolutely am thrilled during this time because of the wide variety of syrups that Starbucks offers. It seems that Starbucks business increases a bit during this time. If you are a person that loves the Starbucks holiday launch and wants some recommendations for flavor combinations for your next drink, then you will want to stay tuned. Without further ado, here are some of my holiday syrup combination recommendations for you to try out this holiday season!
Combination #1: Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread Syrup
I recently just discovered this flavor combination and it has become one of my absolute favorites. If you like the gingerbread cookies that are often popular around Christmas time, then you would love this. Now, I don’t only pair this combination with coffee. Sugar cookie and gingerbread syrups also pair very well with the chai lattes that Starbucks offers as well. I definitely recommend this if you like cinnamon as well!
Combination #2: Caramel Brûlée and Caramel Syrup
This type of combination may be a little self explanatory, but I like to share this one as well. Caramel brûlée has a very sweet and toasted caramel taste. The caramel syrup adds a bit less sweetness, but still adds flavor to your drink. Utilizing these syrups together helps to balance the overall sweetness of the coffee or chai that you pair them with. If you like a tiny bit of sweetness in your coffee but not enough to give you a potential sugar rush, then this combination may be good for you!
Combination #3: Sugar Cookie and Caramel Brûlée
I actually did discover this one on accident one time when I had ordered it. I believe that pairing the sugar cookie and caramel brĂ»lĂ©e is the absolute best combination for the holiday season. Although, I often don’t put both syrups directly in the base of the drink, I will add the syrup that I didn’t use into the cold foam. I believe that pairing these in an iced coffee allows for the best result. If you love sweet coffee, then putting these syrups together may be the perfect fit for you!
In closing, these holiday flavor recommendations may not be for everyone. Although, these combinations are some of my favorites, not everyone may like them. If you have an open mind and a willingness to try new things, then some of the above drinks may become your favorite this holiday season.
