What is the Starbucks Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso?<\/h3>\n

Starbucks recently released new shaken espresso beverages, and the Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso is one of the two. (Here’s the review of the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso<\/a>.) This one pairs Starbucks Blonde espresso with almondmilk and chocolate malt powder.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Um, yum.<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty it is. This thing tasted like a melted candy bar – and I loved it. The most notable thing with this drink compared to its Brown Sugar cousin is the espresso was more muted, perhaps masked by the chocolate malt powder. With a smooth finish, this is a delightful dose of caffeine if you like your morning java to have some flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

Now let’s talk about that chocolate. I was super intrigued to see the drink used malt powder as opposed to a sauce or syrup. But I am here for it! The malt powder made it sweet, but not too sweet, and reminded me of a milkshake you might have gotten with your grandpa when you were a kid. Since the baristas shake these ingredients in a shaker like you would a cocktail, I’m thinking the malt powder mixes more evenly.<\/p>\n

The other thing I really enjoyed is how “shaking” the beverage really mixed the almondmilk with the espresso. Sometimes I find almondmilk and coffee can separate easily, but that was not the case here.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Is the chocolate malt a little strong for you? Or just want a hint? As with most other ingredients, you can request different levels of the powder – extra or light powder are also options.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Cannot wait to have this one again. If I’m feeling fancy, I might even add some whipped cream on top to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n
