It is the beginning of winter and Starbucks has brought back its long awaited holiday menu.

Starbucks new winter drink

There are a variety of warm and cozy Christmas brew now available on the menu.

Starbucks has added a new drink to their existing collection of winter beverages. The new holiday drink is called Spiced Sweet Cream Narino 70 Cold Brew.

Contrary to their tradition, Starbucks debuted a cold beverage for winter. The new ice coffee features the Starbucks Narino 70 Cold Brew coffee spiced with different flavours such as cinnamon, anise, nutmeg and vanilla, and topped with a float of Starbucks’ sweet cream.

According to a member of Starbucks beverage development team, Yoke Wong, "Although we’ve offered iced and blended versions of our holiday espresso beverages before, this is our first time creating a cold coffee holiday beverage. The spices complement the cold brew and bring out the cocoa notes in the coffee. It’s a flavor reminiscent of the holiday season."

While iced coffee is probably not what anyone wants to drink when their toes are freezing off in winter, the drink might be worth a try.

Moreover, Starbucks' regular warm beverages like Chestnut Praline Lattes, Eggnog Lattes and my personal fave, Peppermint Mocha would still be available on the menu.
