As you all know, one of my favorite drinks when I was a barista is the Iced Caramel Macchiato. I like that it sounds sophisticated when you’re ordering it..(ehem). I like that it’s milk in the bottom and then espresso shot on top, making it a two-tone drink. And of course, I like that the caramel drizzle on top doesn’t melt when it’s a cold drink, it just sinks at the bottom and you can suck through your straw injecting a sweet, buttery flavor whenever you take a sip of your coffee.
Just leave it to Starbucks to come up with new macchiato flavors with each passing year, allowing me to taste my favorite beverage in bold new flavors… and..GAhh, this year, they even have it in Frappuccino!
Oh, and another thing, Starbucks has launched two flavors! You can vote for your favorite Starbucks Macchiato beverage at www.starbuckspromotion.ph from February 23 to March 4, 2016.

I’m not a coffee drinker at all so I’d have to bail on both in exchange for a nice iced tea drink or possibly a hot chocolate depending on my mood 🙂 Although I will say with certainty those banana and chocolate chip cookies sound INCREDIBLE!
I’m sure you’d like that cookie!
