Starbucks Philippines is now offering two new flavors that I'm sure you'll love. They have a decadent chocolate treat with the Duo Cocoa Mocha and a sweet, luscious favorite with the Dark Caramel Latte. Only the Duo Cocoa Mocha is a new flavor since Starbucks also offered the Dark Caramel Latte September last year. It must really be a crowd favorite!
Here's are my thoughts on the Duo Cocoa Mocha and Dark Caramel Latte.
DUO COCOA MOCHA (Short P135, Tall P145, Grande ₱ 160, Venti P170)
Duo cocoa sauce is combined with velvety steamed milk and our roasty signature espresso to create a smooth and well-balanced beverage. It is then topped with chocolate whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and cocoa nibs sprinkles.
My Review: I tried it as a Frappucino and I loved it! It had a very delicious cocoa taste and it wasn't too sweet so it's not at all"nakakaumay." It's something that I would order from Starbucks over and over again (I know I'm a specialty coffee junkie but Starbucks Frappucinos are tasty). Since it's almost Starbucks Planner season, I probably will! It really matches well with the signature Starbucks espresso blend, so a really good job to Starbucks on this drink!
4.5/5 Stars!
DARK CARAMEL LATTE (Short P135, Tall P145, Grande ₱ 160, Venti P170)
My Review: The Dark Caramel Latte was once again quite sweet - the same comment I had last year. I'm quite sure that sweet-tooths out there will like this. Surprisingly enough, I like it better this year that I did last year. I suggest you get this as a Frappucino rather than a Latte so that you could really taste the delicious creamy dark caramel sauce. It doesn't have the same appeal when you get it as a hot drink.
3.5/5 Stars!
Remember that if you're ordering the drinks as a Frappucino, these drinks would cost around Php25 more.
I suggest you try out these delicious new flavors every Wednesday for the month September because you'll get a free VIA stick from Starbucks as part of their promotion! That's what I call a sweet deal!
Which one is your favorite? I would like to hear your thoughts on the seasonal drinks in the comments section.
