I loooooved the juniper latte but I understand I’m the only person on earth who enjoyed it

No no, you’re not alone. One of the partners in my store absolutely loves it with almond milk.

I LOVED that drink :/ most people just don’t like flavors that are herbal like rosemary & lavender, but those are my favorite coffee flavors
MsMeggers 3 points 3y ago

Last holiday season. It was during my first few months at Starbs and I got it all the time. So herby and delicious!

I loved both of those drinks lol. Lucky for me cause I got to take the unused syrup home.

I legit never made a single one. Non sequenced drinks are bad, but that drink was cursed. We regularly threw the bottles away.

we'd regularly have to check with customers to ensure they wanted the cinnamon and not the caramel cloud

question... Has anyone else been told to make whipped cream this way:
1. mix the syrup & cream in the pitcher
2. pour into whipper canister
3. pop the N2O cartridge
4. shake EXACTLY ten times
5. lay it down sideways on the counter for three minutes
Why the putting it down for a nap? This is something our new manager is telling us to do.

That’s how my first store taught me

I was taught this way:
1. Mix syrup and cream in pitcher
2. Pour into whipped cream canister
3. Put on the N2O cartridge
4. Shake 8 times upright
5. Lay it on its side long enough to grab a sticker and date it
6. Shake 4 more times upside down

I've been told that laying it sideways helps the N20 disperse through the whip cream better? Or something like that, idk.

Ugh, yes. It smelled like Pine-SOl. and tasted like the smell of Pine-SOl.
