Favorite drink for opening? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Desperate_Pop5072
Long story short I have really bad insomnia. Some nights it’s a lot worse than others, but usually if I’m opening I’m able to nap after my shift so it works out, but I couldn’t fall asleep tonight for the life of me. My shift starts 2 hours from now so I’m basically opening on 0 hours of sleep. I just want your favorite comfort drinks for moments like these to make my morning a tiny bit better🥰

Undertow time.
Grab a short cup, put in 2-3 pumps of your desired syrup, a bit of your preferred milk, and then pour two shots over a bar spoon. Drink kind of like a shot so that you get all the flavor at the same time but you have distinct experiences of hot thing and cold thing.
I typically do 2 pumps cinnamon dolce and oat milk with blonde shots.

Just now noticing you said comfort drink—undertow is more of an I feel like death but we gotta do this type deal but it’s fast so you can still have a nice feel good drink after 😭

Honestly whatever works, I also appreciate you being up with me while I dread going into this hell of a shift. I haven’t tried an undertow but this morning might call for it😂

tip: get your bar spoon super cold (I like to put it in a pitcher of ice, or if it’s an open and the small wares are still sanitized it’ll go straight in the ice bin when it’s full). This helps to cool your shot just a little extra on the way down so you can drink it immediately keeping the layers separate!

My comfort drink is a peppermint mocha because it’s what I always got in middle school

I second an undertow! I do two pumps vanilla, a small bit of half and half, and then two updosed blonde shots on top. It’s the only thing that keeps me alive some days 😂

I don’t open but I usually come in shortly after (and normally running on less than 4hrs of sleep). I like quad espressos with over ice with salted foam!

I like a tall triple blonde americano with 1 pump wm and heavy cream.

My comfort drink is a cinnamon dolce latte w white mocha. If I'm making it I like to add cinnamon dolce cold foam instead of whipped cream. It tastes like snickerdoodles.

I tried this today! I did a different variation but I got a quad w half cinnamon dolce half white mocha and it was def a snickerdoodle vibe

A trenta ice water is my go to insomnia drink before anything else. No use being tired and dehydrated, plus it helps with the jitters.
