Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.
Starbucks has a new holiday beverage — the Irish Cream Cold Brew.
It’s made with Starbucks Cold Brew coffee and pumps of Irish cream syrup over ice. The beverage is also topped with vanilla sweet cream cold foam and a dusting of cocoa powder. It’s available for a limited time at participating stores in the U.S. and Canada.
A grande has 200 calories, 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 0 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 19 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.
Also, Starbucks will be having weekly Happy Hours to celebrate the season of giving. Customers who buy one grande or larger handcrafted beverage (including holiday beverages) can get one free on Thursdays in December between 2-7 p.m. To participate, download the Starbucks App.

I haven’t tried this yet–it looks delicious–but really do we want a lot of highly caffeinated people shopping around us on Thursday?! Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Unless we can get the free drink with a receipt-proof for a drink ordered earlier–do we know the rules for Thursday Caffee Hour?
Try getting the syrup in the foam, makes the drink a lot better.
I want Starbucks to bring back the cold brew with mulling spices. I don’t remember what it was called.
note to self, bring a flask of whiskey along next time i go to starbucks.
