I was out yesterday running errands and as my day ended, I began to feel that I needed to rest and unwind somewhere before I finally head home.
And so I decided to go to Starbucks and I’m glad I did for I was able to try their latest drink for the new year – the Honey Orange beverages.
It was a cold night and so I naturally wanted something hot to warm myself. I decided to have the Honey Orange Latte which I believe is composed of your basic cafe latte with an infusion of orange syrup and topped with a sprinkle of orange zest and a drizzle of honey. Yum!
Drinking it actually reminded me of my favorite snack as a kid – Chokies Orange! It’s chocolate cookie with orange cream filling.
It’s obvious that I really liked the drink and I can’t wait to try the other two varieties – the Honey Orange Mocha and the Honey Orange Frappuccino Blended Coffee.
Hehe I’m gonna try this with my lattes. I’ve been making em at home since I found a sweet article on how to do it yourself. Don’t need to give starbucks my 5 buckses any more! If you’re interested, check it out: http://www.kaycircle.com/index.php?q=How-to-make-a-Latte-at-home-without-a-machine
I actually don’t like it. It tastes like The Bar Orange Vodka. And the Honey Orange Frappuccino tastes like Tempra Syrup. UGH.
I really don’t think that I would like that either — not a good-sounding mixture! Sounds like it would taste like cough syrup or maybe not. I’d be game for at least trying a taste if someone else bought it. …. tee hee. It’s not even the orange mixed with the coffee, it’s the honey!
