I was out for lunch with friends and it was decided that we would go to Starbucks. Out of the three holiday beverages available (the other two being Peppermint Mocha and Toffee Nut), I went for the Christmas Cookie Latte because I have not tried it before.
However, as I sat there drinking my latte, I could not catch any cookie bits. It does not taste anything like Christmas cookies at all. Only until I reached the last dregs of the coffee that I was able to "sense" the cookies. Have you tried dunking your cookies in coffee and then finding cookie dusts at the bottom of your cup? Yeah, it was like that.
Overall, there wasn't anything festive about this latte. It was not terrible but it wasn't monumental either. Anyway, I had a fun time with my friends and that is more important.
And before you ask, no, I am not collecting stickers for the planner.
What are your thoughts about the Starbucks holiday beverages? Did the barista got my order wrong or was it really prepared that way? Enlighten me in the comments below.
