Our Favorite Starbucks Drinks

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Yale chapter.

No matter the occasion or season, Starbucks offers drinks perfect for all. However, most of us Starbucks lovers have one staple drink they preferably go for. Here is a selection of the HC Yale’s favorite drinks. We hope this might help you decide what to get next time you wait in line and are overwhelmed by the coffee shop’s vast menu. 

Skinny Vanilla Latte

This is the most popular drink among our team. It contains Starbucks signature espresso, non-fat milk and sugar-free syrup and is therefore one of the healthier choices you can make at Starbucks.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Around Thanksgiving this is also one of the team’s most popular drinks, as it gets you right into that fall mood. It is made with Starbucks signature espresso and milk with the added flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and of course pumpkin – your choice to top it off with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. 

Chai Tea Latte

 

This Starbucks classic is simple, yet delicious. Black tea and steamed milk spiced with cinnamon, star anise, black pepper and cincardamom. Our team also loves variations on this such as the Vanilla Chai Tea Latte. 

Passion Tea Lemonade

This truly Instagram worthy drink is a mix of tropical flavors like hibiscus mixed with lemonade and ice and just makes you dream of summer, sun and fun.  

Green Tea Frappuccino

 

This decadent drink contains matcha green tea, milk and ice and can be topped with whipped cream. It is again one of Starbucks’s most photogenic drinks – its green color is striking. 

Iced Americano

 

This signature drink contains two espresso shots, mixed with water and is served over ice. Once again one of the healthier options at Starbucks, this drink truly gives you just the right boost of energy for the day and leaves you refreshed to work on that Pset due next day.
