Best Starbucks Iced Coffee Drinks
Types of Starbucks Cold Coffee Beverages
At Starbucks, you can get three kinds of cold coffee drinks. You can customize them to make them just the way you like. Each one is slightly unique in flavor and strength.
Traditional Iced Coffee
Forget the hassle of cold brew, traditional iced coffee is brewed quickly by combining hot-brewed coffee with ice water. If you don't want your Starbucks drink to come sweetened, let them know beforehand and they'll make it as a straight up! This type of iced coffee can be a little less strong.
Cold-Brewed Coffee
At Starbucks, you can enjoy three types of delicious and refreshing cold brew coffees; the classic Starbucks Cold Brew, a special Reserve Cold Brew blend, or an exciting Nitro Cold Brew. To liven up your cup even more there are several add-ins to choose from such as Pumpkin Cream, Irish Cream, Vanilla Sweet Cream Honey Almond Milk Salted Caramel for extra flavor and sweetness! My favorite is the Vanilla Sweet Cream!
As opposed to the conventional way of steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 20 hours, nitro cold brew is infused with nitrogen gas and its reserve counterpart has a significantly bolder flavor than Starbucks' regular cold brew.
Iced Espresso Drinks
With the largest Starbucks cold coffee selection imaginable, customizing your experience has never been easier! Every espresso beverage offers a refreshing combination of icy delight and creamy milk with the option to add any syrupy flavor like vanilla. This is also the perfect boost of caffeine for your busy day.
