The Smoother Starbucks Iced Coffee You Need To Get
BY HEATHER LIM
Starbucks offers cold coffee drinks for every palate, from classic iced coffee to cold brew and shaken espressos. There's another underrated choice that you may be overlooking.
The Iced Blonde Caffè Americano uses Starbucks Blonde espresso roast beans, and it has the robust body of a classic espresso with the frothy, light smoothness of a nitro cold brew.
Made of Blonde espresso shots topped with water, then served over ice, this drink is creamier and bolder than the plain Starbucks iced coffee, yet less bitter than a regular espresso.
Starbucks' Blonde espresso is made of lightly-roasted beans, giving it a more mellow taste, but also an acidity that adds fruity and floral aromas to the Blonde Caffè Americano.
The Blonde roast espresso is also higher in caffeine, with 85 mg per shot compared to the standard medium-dark roast espresso with 75 mg.
With a creamy and refreshing flavor that doesn't need any milk, plus a bigger boost of caffeine, the Iced Blonde Caffè Americano is a must-try for true appreciators of iced coffee.
