Starbucks will add two limited-edition macchiato beverages at stores in the US and Canada from tomorrow.
The new coconut milk mocha macchiato is a hot beverage featuring espresso shots poured over steamed coconut milk and combined with a hint of white chocolate mocha sauce. The drink is then finished with caramel sauce and a swirl of mocha sauce.
It is joined by new iced cinnamon almond milk macchiato, with Starbucks’ signature espresso complemented by almond milk, cinnamon dolce syrup and a topping of caramel.
Both the new drinks join Starbucks’ full range of macchiato beverages, which also includes the espresso, latte and caramel macchiatos.
Starbucks beverage developer Yoke Wong explained: “With macchiato, we first pour the steamed milk and then add the espresso. The result is a coffee-forward flavour with beautiful layers.
“The original inspiration for the beverage is from horchata, a popular beverage in Spain and Latin America. It is traditionally made with almond or rice milk and spices like cinnamon, and it is served hot or cold.”
