With freakishly creamy single-origin Sumatran coconut milk, espresso, caramel and white chocolate mocha syrup, it’s about as sweet as it gets without feeling like you’re pouring a melted Mounds can bar down your throat. Actually, that’s exactly what it feels like. For a little secret-menu action, add a pump or two of almond or hazelnut syrup for an Almond Joy-like treat.
Two other awesome things about this brisk bev: It’s vegan*, so no need to sub soy or anything else for those of you who abstain from animal products, and it’ll be available through the end of the summer, unlike other limited-release menu items that only stuck around for a couple of weeks. (I still miss you, Holiday Spice Flat White.)
*Strict vegans many want to confirm at the counter that the caramel and white mocha syrups contain no milk. Starbucks’ caramel syrup doesn’t, but its caramel sauce does, so … trust but verify.
