Which dark drink does everyone remember most about Starbucks?

I don't know if you remember when Starbucks combined the addictive elements of beer and coffee in 2018.

The picture above shows three new drinks launched by Starbucks in October 2018. In those days, people's minds were particularly bright, and there were all kinds of newly developed (dark cuisine) delicacies, such as red oil chili ice cream and snail powder moon cakes.

Among them, "sweet beer-flavored latte" was very popular at that time. Let a group of old alcoholics expose their nature, and even a group of rookies who do not drink also shout "addictive".

The taste of this "sweet beer-flavored latte", according to the comments at that time, can be seen that its degree of reduction is leveraged. After all, hiccups are internal.

If the degree of restoration is so high, someone must be greedy. However, the alcoholic latte, some friends are worried about being taken away by the traffic police after drinking it.

In fact, Weibo China later stated that the beer flavor in this latte comes from its beer-flavored syrup.

Later, some friends who had been at Starbucks for a period of time left a message online that the syrup was seasonally limited and ran out. This beer-flavored latte changes the whole milk of the ordinary latte into a mixture of whole milk and whipped cream.

As mentioned earlier, beer-flavored lattes are seasonally limited and are off the shelves after they are sold out. But even when it's off the shelves, people are still obsessed with beer lattes.

Starbucks China announced on its official Weibo that the beloved beer-flavored latte will return to the Starbucks menu with a "continuous cloud" element. But you can only enjoy this alcohol-free beer latte again within two weeks from August 10.

As soon as the Qixi Festival-limited non-alcoholic beer latte announced its return, some friends left a message that they couldn't wait.

In recent years, there has been an endless stream of drinks about alcohol and coffee, starting with coffee-containing cocktails in the wine circle, such as Coffee Martini, the simplest coffee, coffee liquid, coffee liqueur, vodka, ice and shaken by a bartender.

From the ingredients, it is not difficult to see that it is for cocktail lovers to try the taste of coffee, which may only satisfy wine lovers, but not coffee lovers, after all, there are at least 70 countries in the coffee gold growing belt. This is adding coffee to the wine.

Nowadays, more alcohol is added to coffee, such as OPS CAF É in in Shanghai, using more complex ingredients, in addition to using single malt whisky from different places, and even beans from Ethiopia are not difficult to see in the coffee used. It can not only satisfy the coffee lovers' pursuit of coffee flavor, but also meet the alcoholics who pursue the quality of wine.

It is not difficult to see that the current trend is to add wine to coffee. Seesaw Coffee, a boutique coffee brand known as the "Coffee Whampoa military Academy", announced that it would launch a coffee shop in Shanghai in August after completing a round of financing of more than 100 million yuan on July 21.

Such products may please young people, but for some traditional coffee gluttons, what they want is the purest taste of coffee.

Well, that's all for today. I have to set a reminder on my phone so I don't forget to taste the beer-flavored latte.

Bye~
