14 Best Hot Drinks at Starbucks to Order in this Winter
White Chocolate Mocha
Cold weather is not a season for drinking sweetened ice cream. Instead, why not enjoy a mocha? Made with steamed milk and chocolate syrup mixed together in the perfect ratio to provide you with its signature creamy taste while still being rich enough that it won’t leave your stomach feeling too churned from all those sugars swimming around inside there like tiny little fishes trying unsuccessfully at life on land.
I love Starbucks because their White Chocolate Mocha is delicious and beloved during the cold weather. Made like a latte, it consists of steamed milk with chocolate syrup poured over an espresso shot in between two layers: one that has whipped cream on top for your first few sips; then there’s another layer made up mostly from whole white cocoa beans mixed into sweetened condensed evaporated milk (respectively known as “whole fat”, if requested). If you want even more richness than usual request this drink w/ 2% instead!
Café Americano
The Starbucks Americano is an excellent choice for those who want something basic and dignified. It’s slightly smoother than their drip coffee, but the two taste very similar other than this difference; I typically get my black from the barista with half-and-half added at the self-service station.
Brewed Coffee
The popularity of Starbucks coffee has been on the rise since it first opened its doors to consumers over 50 years ago. The company brews their roasted beans in an effort not just to taste better but also to provide customers with consistency and quality control that they can count on no matter how much demand there might be at any given time! From light blonde roasts for those who don’t want too many caffeine boosts (a Grande size ranges between 150mg-360 mg) or dark roast styled coffees full-bodied enough to keep you going all day long – we’ve got something here just suitable for anyone looking forward or backward as well as caffeinated lovers everywhere!.
When one needs some pick-me-up energy boosters, opt instead for some Best Hot Drinks like the ever-popular cappuccino, latte, or even mocha for that extra chocolate fix. These beverages are made with high-quality coffee beans and espresso shots, giving them their intense flavors and steamed milk to give you all of its creaminess without any actual dairy products! The best part is that no matter how many Best Hot Drinks you have, Starbucks will never charge more than $.50 for each additional beverage added to your order!
Now, if it’s just a cup of brewed coffee that you are after, then look no further because at the price of only $.95 this drink is not only delicious but made with 100% Arabica beans, so you know it’s going to be a smooth and flavorful blend that can’t go wrong no matter how much milk or sugar is added. Best of all the cost of this drink will never change just because a more significant size has been ordered! So next time you need Best Hot Drinks at Starbucks, try one of their brewed coffee selections because you’ll never go wrong with the Best Hot Drinks at Starbucks.
Blonde Vanilla Latte
You can’t beat the flavor of a delicious vanilla latte. The blonde espresso blends with sweet and smooth milk, making this an excellent choice for those looking to cut down on their caffeine intake or who enjoy lighter coffees like me! But don’t worry: if you want more than 250 calories per Grande cup (that’s about 2 tablespoons), we offer customization options that will make any drink yours alone-just what your taste buds ordered!
Almond Milk Honey Flat White
Steamed almond milk is added to espresso and sweetened with honey. The result? A caffeinated, all-year-round flat white that has moderate caffeine levels but not enough sweetness for some!
The 16fl oz cup size drinks 170 calories along 190 mg of caffeine while still being low in fat (4g).
Chai Tea Latte
The Grande cup of Starbucks Chai tea latte delivers 95mg of caffeine which is similar to the caffeine in an 8oz cup o regular coffee. It has a creamy finish with spices such as cinnamon and clove added for extra flavor! For those who need their morning pick-me-up fix, you can add espresso shots into your favorite drink: The dirty Chai becomes even richer & spicier than before!
Caffe Mocha
What is Mocha? It’s a hot drink that has espresso, milk, and chocolate sauce. To make it even more intense, you can also put whipped cream on top! The difference between cafe mocha (regular) or white mochas is that with regular ones there’s always some type of dairy product like vanilla extract whereas the other doesn’t contain any kind at all because it’s made out of pure cocoa butter instead which makes them darker in color than anything else but still delicious nonetheless.
The Grande size serving size for this beverage contains around 370 calories with 175mg caffeine content per cup – not too bad considering how good they taste.
Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL)
The pumpkin spice latte is one of Starbucks’ most popular holiday treats. They introduced this drink as a Thanksgiving treat and it quickly became so well-loved that they bring it back near the end of August every year with only half off drinks through September 2nd!
The flavor for this tasty specialty has endured because there are few things better than an autumnal aftertaste in your mouth, like pie filling but not quite sweet enough yet still warm from sitting under scorching heat outside on such fine days just waiting to be enjoyed–and what could possibly top all those flavors together inside one beverage except perhaps whipped cream Topped off nicely by cinnamon twirls and whipped cream, the PSL is a treat that everyone can enjoy.
At first, I wondered what all those spices like nutmeg and ginger would do to my palate, but I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out that they all compliment each other so well. But the good news is not only doing this drink taste great, but it is also pretty good for you. The 16 oz size has 200 calories and 50 g of sugar!
London Fog Tea Latte
The London fog is a refreshing drink that’s made by mixing earl grey and steamed milk. It has subtle floral notes of lavender with bright citrusy tones, which will have you feeling awake in no time! The caffeine content isn’t too high, so it won’t make your head spin or give jitters when consumed as an espresso shot but can still provide some energy if needed for work-related tasks such as writing reports on deadline at school/office hours etc.. Here are more benefits:
1) You get antioxidants like vitamin C from drinking this (relatively healthy) beverage;
2) there’s Zinc present due to cloves found within the recipe – perfect timing considering the recent cold season coming up soon.
Valentine’s Special, Molten Hot Chocolate
This is a seasonal twist that usually comes out in February. Although most Starbucks stores no longer carry this drink, some individual stores still bring it back as an option for those with taste buds ready to experience winter’s cold but not quite willing to give up their favorite hot drinks just yet! The Starbuck Latte contains espresso-infused chocolate sauce mixed into steamed milk along with java chips – giving you the best of both worlds when drinking your morning latte or a cafe mocha on those chilly days at work during rush hour traffic. It also has whipped cream AND drizzled moose tracks. you know what I mean right?
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Peppermint hot chocolate is a great drink for those who want to enjoy their favorite holiday without caffeine. This non-coffee version has an intense flavor that many people love, while others find it too strong and unpleasant to actually finish drinking it all throughout Christmastime. With 440 calories per Grande cup of this winter warmer beverage (and 25mgs in caffeine), you might want some discretion when ordering at restaurants since one small glass can really add up if not shared with friends!
Caramel Macchiato
For this delicious treat, steamed milk is added to vanilla syrup before adding foam. Then espresso and “caramel” are mixed together for an intense flavor of coffee with just enough sweetness from the caramel drizzle on top! This drink is a great alternative to the highly caffeinated drinks on Starbucks’ menu, with no caffeine and only 160 calories in a Tall cup.
Peppermint Mocha
If you’re looking for a sweet treat that doesn’t taste like coffee, look no further than this peppermint mocha. This drink has the perfect amount of chocolate and whipped cream to satisfy your cravings without all those pesky caffeine jitters!
The espresso is blended with steamed milk in 16 fluid ounces before being topped off by syrup from Vermont-based company Moods Élite or one ounce each of both dark cocoa powder & honeycomb puree which gives it an extra special flavor profile not shared by other dessert coffees on offer at any local café chain around town–trust us when we say these ingredients go very nicely together indeed whether enjoyed solo as prelunch pick me up after going for a stroll along the picturesque lakefront or as after dinner end to your exciting night out at one of the many trendy nightclubs in River North.
The peppermint mocha is available year-round, so if you’re looking for something cool & creamy to cool off with on the next hot summer day, head on over to your nearest Starbucks location & ask for one–we promise you won’t be disappointed!

The famous Starbucks drink, a medicinal honey citrus mint tea was on the secret menu before it hit the mainstream in 2017.

You can also add peppermint syrup if you want more than just sourness!
