If you’re a Cortado fan you should know Starbucks’ version is a little different. It’s not the equal parts of espresso and milk that’s expected. It tastes much more milky and smoother than what you may be expecting if you’ve ever had one at, say, a different cafe.

It’s really good though, if you like your coffee on the stronger side but with a creamier experience.

Want the real thing though? You’ll have to make it yourself (use this recipe!).

RECIPE: How To Make A Real Cortado

How To Order:

“Just a Cortado, please”

Ingredients:

  • Espresso
  • Milk

Don’t need all the sugar? Ask your friendly barista for one less pump of vanilla syrup, cause the cold foam brings its own sweet caramel goodness.

How To Order:

“Can I have an Iced Caramel Macchiato with vanilla cold foam and extra caramel drizzle, please?”

Ingredients:

  • Ice

Starbucks kinda blew our minds with this one. Pistachio Cream Cold Brew is smooth, nutty, and basically goldilocks of the yummy spectrum.

The real magic comes in the form of buttery brown sugar topping (or butter flakes or whatever) on top, which melts into the cold foam for that perfect lick of decadence.

It’s rich yet refreshing, and downright obsession-forming.

Tropical but not too much and chocolatey but not too overdone.

This holiday banger is available all year round if your local Starbucks has the flavoring.

The combo of nutty praline, rich espresso, and sweet caramel? Heaven.
