Welcome back for another week of coffee!
Because my last two blogs have been about iced coffee, I wanted to spice it up and try something new. I planned on getting a black and white mocha from Starbucks, but my order got slightly altered and became an iced mocha. Next week will be different, but for now, get ready for another week of iced coffee!
I recently got a new car, so I was afraid of driving it into town for the first few days. I finally got over that fear, and the first place I drove to was Starbucks. I went through the drive through because who wants to get out of a warm vehicle and go into the cold? That probably wasn’t the greatest choice, especially since the line was so long that it was filling up much of the parking lot. I got up to the window to get my drink, but I happened to be too far from the window, so the person and I both had to lean out so far just so I could get my drink (it was embarrassing, but what can you do). I ended up not getting a straw with my drink, but I was still embarrassed about not being able to be close enough to the window, so I just drove away with no straw. Once I got home, I got one of my cheap straws and got to enjoy a new drink.
The iced black and white mocha is made with milk mixed with espresso and ice, topped with whipped cream and a chocolate topping. In my opinion, it was just a sugary drink with only a little espresso. Drinks that have a large amount of sugar can be acceptable sometimes, but when it dominates the entire drink, that’s where it gets to be too much.The drink was also filled with a bunch of ice which caused the drink to become watery quickly, so some of the flavors went away. Starbucks definitely has better drinks than this, but I think overall this drink was just okay. If there were more of a coffee taste, the drink would’ve been better. I’ve had this drink as a mocha, and I think it tasted better since the flavors were all mixed and the sugar was balanced.
This iced mocha is a seasonal drink, so if you enjoy sugary drinks or want to try something new, get one before it’s too late!
