Gingerbread Latte Hack for 2019? (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by crbdg

Hi! I noticed there is no Gingerbread Latte in the U.S. for the 2019 holiday season. Are there any simple hacks that could recreate the taste?



Thanks!

We still got it in Canada, but honestly you are not missing out. It has a vile chemical taste. Honestly, it’s disappointing

I noticed that the chestnut praline also tasted very different (gross, perfumy) this year (US). I wonder if they changed the ingredients..

Wolfness72 7 points 3y ago

I believe they did because the caramel brulee and the toasted white chocolate isn't as good as last year in my opinion

Last year had more or less all artificial flavoring, this year (can) theyre mostly all naturally flavored.

Chemical taste? Its naturally flavoured...with ginger...

beni0424 1 points 3y ago

Yeah! The smell alone is very chemically.

Ah I see you have what they gave us in the EMEA range last year.

It was so bad, we are back to the normal GB syrup in EMEA. Thank god for that!

My wife was super upset we didnt get it back this year. I made her a latte with 2 pumps white mocha, 2 pumps cinnamon dolce and a few shakes of nutmeg mixed into a grande. She liked it a ton and said it tasted like a gingerbread cookie.

Without the nutmeg that’s the snickerdoodle drink! It’s one of my favs. I’ll have to try it with nutmeg next shift

Thanks so much! That sounds great. Was this in a hot drink? How would someone be able to order it to make it easy for the barista? Is there a base drink you could order? Thanks so much!

It would probably be easiest as a white mocha with two pumps white mocha, two pumps cinnamon dolce, and nutmeg. That would get whip as well, so that’s up to your discretion. 😊

It was hot, but you could absolutely do it iced or as a frap or even in iced coffee or a hot brewed coffee too!!

One of my coworkers made an almond milk chai with one pump of cinnamon dolce and it tastes like gingerbread

crbdg [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Oh, great! Was this in a grande size? Thanks!

caffeinated_enigma 1 points 3y ago

I believe so!

Iced soy chai with a pump and a half of chestnut praline.🖤

crbdg [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Thank you! Is this in a grande?

bbyshrew 1 points 3y ago

I'm on mobile and never saw this notification I'm so sorry!! I usually do a venti size with extra ice to keep it cold while on the floor! <3

Gingerbread latte tastes like burnt cinnamon hearts this year.

I'm also curious, maybe someone has experimented and made something delicious, would be cool to know
