Need help with a couple drink recipes. I’m a newbie (sorta) and my boss is going to be evaluating my bar skills tomorrow. (self.starbucksbaristas)

Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso:
Is it just pumps of mocha? Any toppings on it?
Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew:
Where/when does the salt come in?
Is it caramel syrup and caramel toppings?
Also, the toasted vanilla shaken espresso:
Does that have toppings?
If someone could help I’d appreciate it

1st one is with chocolate malt powder scoops T:2, G:3, V:4 shaken with the ice and blonde shots and topped off with almond milk, no topping.
2nd one is vanilla pumps in the actual cold brew, 2 salt packets and 1fulldose pump of caramel syrup in 100ml of vsc to make the foam. No topping.
3rd one gets not topping, just the shots, syrup, and ice shaken and topped woth almond milk.
Although they'll probably be testing your sequencing and more basic drinks to make sure you're sequencing right and doing the right amount of syrup pumps and shots for more common drinks like lattes, americanos, Frappuccinos, mochas, or flat whites. Hope this helps you!

The toasted vanilla gets oat not almond, unless that’s what you meant to say 😅

And the vanilla pumps for cold brew are 1/2/3/4.

For full dose pumps, if your store uses half pumps on their cold brew area just follow the same as iced lattes or teas.

Vanilla is a standard full dose pump regardless of where it is located. There should never be a half dose on a vanilla. It’s why the recipe card shows full dose pumps.

Back in the day the recipe called for half dose pumps for cold brew drinks and some stores still have it that way... so it's a good thing to know either way.

Thank you so much. I didn’t think texting and nagging my coworkers would be appropriate.
I know the basic hot drinks, so I think I’ll be fine with those.
So many people order the shaken espresso drinks when I’m on the register — bc they are advertised like crazy.
With vanilla sweet cream foam…I’ve made it before…but…I think I forget to put vanilla in it. Do I just pump vanilla syrup in the blender?
But in this case we use caramel syrup and salt in the sc blender?? My head is exploding lol.
I know I’m “capable”, but my memory skills hold me back.
Thank you so much. 💗💗
I don’t get very much time on the bar, so I want to do a good job.

The vanilla sweet cream foam on its own is very easy because the sweet cream already has the vanilla! So if you're not putting vanilla in it you're already doing it right! No problem, and hopefully you get more bar time, a lot of the baristas won't mind you asking questions they'd rather you ask til you're confident on your own because it means the drink won't have to be remade. Usually you can tell what baristas are more patient and willing to help, as well as what SSV will be more willing to let you get more bar time if you ask!

Awesome about the sweet cream!
Some of my coworkers/shift managers are super patient and helpful.
When it gets mega busy or my shift manager is a grouch…I just do my best and sometimes just wing it.

So a vanilla sweet cream cold brew gets vanilla in the cold brew. It’s 1/2/3/4 pumps for this one too if vanilla. That’s the one with just a splash no foam.
Adding vanilla cold foam is just foam to 100 ml line and blend on 3. Just straight out of the pitcher.
If they do both vanilla sweet cream cold brew it’s pumps of vanilla in the cold brew plus splash of vanilla sweet cream plus foam on top.
