With the customization of any Starbucks drink—be it in their line of coffee or tea—the results are endless. Heck, you can even make milk tea at Starbucks or recreate the famous secret Starbucks recipes that always go viral!
If you're new to the world of customized, off-the-menu Starbucks drinks, one that is popular, and is very much doable here in the Philippines, is the so-called Starbucks Barista's Drink. A go-to if you need a more potent dose of caffeine, this drink is perfect for the busiest of days and when pulling all-nighters.
This is what the famous off-the-menu Starbucks Barista's Drink contains:
- Espresso shots
- Splash of breve (a mix of half milk, half cream)
- White chocolate mocha sauce (this costs extra)
- Served with lots of ice
If you're anything like me, who prefer their coffee sweet and strong, this could replace your go-to Starbucks order, as it did for me. The sweetness is not cloying, the taste of coffee doesn't get lost in the sauce, and the breve makes it creamy.
I paid P180 for a Grande-sized cup, as the added white chocolate mocha sauce already takes up P30 of the total bill. The Starbucks Barista's Drink is priced just right based on other Starbucks Grande-sized drinks. Not too expensive!
Want to try Starbucks Barista's Drink? It's a simple recipe that's easy to memorize, but thankfully, you don't have to because Starbucks baristas know what the drink is!
