A must try drink before it’s gone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Starbucks\u00a0came out with new flavors, along with it was\u00a0their new Pistachio flavored Latte and Frappuccino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll admit, hearing about a pistachio flavored something that isn\u2019t literal pistachios or pistachio ice cream seems kind of skeptical, but as an avid\u00a0coffee consumer, I felt it\u00a0necessary to try it and express my opinion on it. A few sips of the Frappuccino later it was safe\u00a0to say that I will be com- ing back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not one to get different flavored drinks, but this time I\u2019m glad I did. If you need to try\u00a0something new, this drink is the one for you. The Pistachio Frappuccino is the perfect mixture of sweet and salty,\u00a0the pistachio flavor is\u00a0noticeable, but it is not strong enough to ruin the drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those who have a sweet tooth, this drink will satisfy your needs, and for those who are not fond of sweet drinks like me, you will\u00a0be content to find out\u00a0that this drink is not as sweet as it sounds, it\u2019s just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll have to admit,\u00a0this drink does have an odd aftertaste, but it is expected since pistachios generally have an\u00a0earthy flavor to them. Nonetheless, you will be too preoccupied with how amazing the whipped cream and the brown-buttery topping tastes to worry about\u00a0the aftertaste. Overall, I\u00a0think the Pistachio Frappuccino is worth it and\u00a0I would buy it again. I\u00a0give it a solid 9\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also had the opportunity to try the Pistachio Latte, which is essentially like the Frappuccino. This warm beverage contains espresso, steamed milk, and pistachio sauce. As someone who really likes lattes,\u00a0I must confess that I\u00a0was not as pleased with\u00a0this drink as I was with the other. Don\u2019t get me\u00a0wrong, it\u2019s good, but I don\u2019t think espresso\u00a0with pistachio sauce is a good combination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I personally think the\u00a0latte was sweeter and the aftertaste is stronger which is also another\u00a0reason why I was not\u00a0too happy about it. The whipped cream does help with the aftertaste, however. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I were to get it again, I would request\u00a0that they don\u2019t add too much of the nutty pistachio sauce. Overall, this drink isn\u2019t bad, but\u00a0I\u2019d order the Frappuccino instead the next time\u00a0I go. I give this drink a\u00a06.5\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, these drinks are only here for a limited time, so do yourself a favor and try these before Starbucks removes it from their menu. You can buy these drinks on both Kingsville locations, one being the Student Union Building (SUB) and on 1050 Santa Gertrudis Blvd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
