Birthday drink (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by ILikeBigCake

Well it's my birthday tomorrow.

Any suggestions on what my free Starbucks drink should be? Trying to make it expensive

DaybreakNightfall 28 points 1y ago

Iced Chai! (Joke)

Flappadingo 28 points 1y ago

Chai with half PUMPS of brown sugar syrup alt milk 3 shots espresso and sweet cream foam on top

VENTI

drinkliquidclocks 19 points 1y ago

Why do people use alt milk then throw sweet cream on it? I don't get it... Just for the taste?

junhyosungs 32 points 1y ago

at least for me, drinking something that is mainly dairy milk based like a latte will make me feel super sick but a splash of sweet cream won’t

eyelinertothestars 6 points 1y ago

I’m sensitive to lactose but I can have it in small amounts (as well as selective dairy products like cheese or yogurt) so sweet cream foam most likely won’t do anything.

drinkliquidclocks 2 points 1y ago

It's made with heavy cream, I don't really understand but I believe you 😂

-Zispy 7 points 1y ago

Heavy cream has less lactose than regular milk

eyelinertothestars 3 points 1y ago

I don’t know either, my digestive system makes the rules not me. I just know big class of milk = tummy no no. Splash of milk/dairy in my coffee = fine.

Flappadingo 2 points 1y ago

OP wants an expensive drink plus yeah 4 oz of milk is too much but foam is OK

alliemoose 11 points 1y ago

Sometimes I like the taste of alt milk better anyway too. Like I can handle dairy fine but oatmilk is sooo good

BatWeary 1 points 1y ago

i don’t like cow milk, so i drink dairy alternatives. for me, it is for taste

drinkliquidclocks 1 points 1y ago

Me too, but sweet cream is cow milk... That's my point

BatWeary 1 points 1y ago

i don’t like the regular sweet cream as foam or as a liquid…i like it with the salt/other syrups though

GracieofGraham 14 points 1y ago

It really depends on what you like. Hot or cold? Sweet or just the coffee flavor?

Oh, and Happy Birthday to you! 🎂

PastPressure 10 points 1y ago

Iced water

emileeavi 9 points 1y ago

I'm sad because no one said happy birthday to me on my birthday and by the time I realized what day it was starbucks was closed 😩 next time I'm putting a damn reminder.

chynaparks 9 points 1y ago

venti iced chai with two blonde shots, brown sugar syrup, and extra pumpkin foam. delicious

Kailikesplants 6 points 1y ago

Venti iced chai, with 3 pumps of pumpkin, 2 pumps vanilla, pumpkin foam, and made with soy. Used to be my go to free drink when I worked at Starbucks during the holidays

variazioni 6 points 1y ago

11 pumps of sweetener? 😭

Kailikesplants 3 points 1y ago

I got a sweet tooth man, and after some of the drinks I’ve had to make for customers I don’t feel very bad about it. I once had a Trent’s iced coffee that after I got done with all their syrup there was only slightly more then half the cup for coffee, “extra extra extra sweet cream,” and ice lmao

ILikeBigCake [OP] 2 points 1y ago

The foam is soy or the whole drink has soy milk?

Kailikesplants 0 points 1y ago

The drink :) it’s good with 2% or whole as well if you don’t like soy milk

ILikeBigCake [OP] -5 points 1y ago

...aaaand last question, can I add the nitro brew coffee?

V4nnah20 4 points 1y ago

It'd be easier to get a Nitro cold brew and add pumps of chai.

YoSammitySam666 3 points 1y ago

I don’t think so. The chai doesn’t allow for modifications like that

drinkliquidclocks 1 points 1y ago

You can add espresso shots, this question doesn't really make sense. I would chose chai or nitro, not both

Kailikesplants -1 points 1y ago

You should be able to I’ve never tried it since I’m not a coffee fan :)

slipperydish 3 points 1y ago

Depends what you normally like — but it’s def a good time to get a venti, add extra espresso shots, and use a non-dairy milk

SelocAvrap 3 points 1y ago

Are you a customer or a barista?

ILikeBigCake [OP] 0 points 1y ago

Customer

SelocAvrap 15 points 1y ago

Water or iced chai tea

Edit: (Not a Joke)

DarthGTI 0 points 1y ago

If it’s really ridiculous, there’s a chance the barista will post it on here and the community will probably attack you. Why not get something you will enjoy instead? The team at the store will be happy to make your birthday special for coming in and enjoying it with them. I know my store tries our very best for our customers.

WombRaider9999 2 points 1y ago

I mean if someone orders a pain in the ass drink and doesnt tip I absolutely look down on them. Besides it's called starbucksbarristas not customers lol

domotastic 2 points 1y ago

That was my drink and omfg it was delicious. Went with 5 shots of espresso

Alefur 1 points 1y ago

20 shots of espresso, long shots. /s

doobiewave 1 points 1y ago

Iced quad grande blonde soy latte. Four ristretto shots, 1 pump Apple Brown Sugar, 3 half-dose (obviously) pumps of Brown Sugar, and cinnamon powder. Been sipping this for the past few days. Choice.

mollythewiz 1 points 1y ago

iced latte with apple crisp syrup and pumpkin cold foam

Cjuytsootgg 0 points 1y ago

Get a latte with all the syrups and sauces, caramel and mocha drizzle, alt milk, VSCCF and all the toppings (caramel crunch, cookie crumble, etc)

Araugust 0 points 1y ago

Iced oat milk Matcha green tea latte with pumpkin sauce and vanilla sweet cream cold foam

Maximum2945 -7 points 1y ago

my two favorite things to do- iced honey citrus mint tea with strawberry purée, and any regular iced latte, but ask them to steam the milk on warm before putting it over ice, that way you still get a nice texture and foam, but it’s a cold drink :)

ghetto-skooter 8 points 1y ago

i- why steam the milk and then pour it on ice when you can just pour the cold milk on ice? am i missing something??

Maximum2945 0 points 1y ago

cuz it keeps the foammmmm, it’s really good trust me

rukittenmerightmeow- 4 points 1y ago

Just make...cold foam?

Maximum2945 -4 points 1y ago

nah, it doesn’t distribute through the milk. coke foam would only make the top like 10% different, steaming it distributes air into the whole drink

ghetto-skooter 1 points 1y ago

gotttchhha never thought of that, i’ll have to try it for sure

drinkliquidclocks 4 points 1y ago

It just gets melty and watery and gross 😭 this is like the old recipe for iced cappuccinos, they discontinued it for a reason lmao just get cold foam...

MetropolitanMe -5 points 1y ago

Trenti Cold Brew, Extra Splash Oat Milk, Three Pumpkin Sauce, with Whip!

HotDogClouds -1 points 1y ago

Happy early birthday!! Also it depends on if you want to actually drink it or not. It's much easier to make the most expensive drink if you don't drink it

ILikeBigCake [OP] -14 points 1y ago

Thanks y'all...I'm gonna attempt this one:

Trenta iced chai latte
3 pumps of pumpkin
2 pumps vanilla
pumpkin foam
5 shots nitro brew
2% milk

bmyoung15 14 points 1y ago

The largest size a chai tea latte comes in is a venti, and we don’t have a way to add shots of nitro cold brew into a drink. If you’re wanting extra caffeine, I’d recommend adding shots of espresso instead.

mstkdc 1 points 1y ago

Not sure why this is getting downvoted and also why some baristas have such a negative attitude, like adding a couple pumps of syrup or alternative milk or whatever other modification is the end of the world. If you’re going to complain about relatively simple modifications, go work somewhere else. Of course customers that are super rude or just press every button in mobile order are a different story but I’m not getting those vibes here 😂

That said, change this order to a venti (no trenta in chai) and blonde espresso (or regular espresso, I prefer blonde bc it’s sweeter and has more caffeine) bc we can’t do shots of nitro, but that sounds like a good drink and very simple to make! Enjoy!

acnh1222 1 points 1y ago

How would you do shots of nitro cold brew?? Isn’t it from the tap?

Please update me on how you order this drink in store because I’m curious.
