Starbucks Espresso Confections 2017

One of the best things about January is that the indulgence never ends at Starbucks. We went through a Starbucks drive-thru on the way to my ILs  in Fairview last Friday. My mind must’ve been still asleep when we were ordering, (or I must’ve been subconciously craving) because instead of trying out one of these yummy concoctions, I ordered an Iced Mocha. It was one of the best Iced Mocha’s I’ve tried, btw.  Now that I’ve come to think about it, I should’ve ordered an Iced Salted Caramel Mocha Crumble instead! It’s of the Starbucks Espresso Confections 2017 drinks…

SALTED CARAMEL MOCHA CRUMBLE – That’s mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup combined with espresso and milk, topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, Starbucks Sea Salt topping and chocolate brownie bits. Every moch lover’s dream, I suppose. (Also available in iced and blended formats)

ICED CHESTNUT WHITE CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE – Chestnut flavor combined with white chocolate sauce and swirled into Starbucks signature espresso. Finished with whipped cream and chestnut drizzle. (Also available in hot and blended formats)

(Short – ₱ 145| Tall – ₱ 155| Grande ₱ 170|Venti– ₱ 185)

Starbucks also has new food items this January, and let me start with the three new core items..

Longganisa Pandesal (₱95) – a soft and buttery bun with sautéed garlic longganisa filling. Best served warm.
