i personally really like making frappuccino’s. it is sooo much easier for me to memorize those recipes rather than hot bar. i seriously cannot get the hang of it. i couldn’t even make you a latte rn if you didn’t walk me through it. is there any way that i can get better at bar 1 drinks? i want to memorize as much as i can but it is just really hard for me for some reason.

It’s not a bunch of different recipes, it’s just like a Frappuccino, only instead of frap roast you’re using espresso shots. Exact same concept:
Remember, all drinks on hot bar, including iced beverages, get the SAME NUMBER OF SHOTS AND PUMPS, remember, VENTI ICED GETS +1 for BOTH, across ALL DRINKS!
There are three shot patterns:
Standard (all lattes, mochas, caramel macchiatos): 1:2 (short and tall get 1, grande and venti get 2)
Flat White: 2:3 RISTRETTO (short and tall get 2, grande and venti get 3
Americano (also used for shaken espressos): 1, 2, 3, 4
Here are syrup patterns; Remember the Venti Iced Rule:
2, 3, 4, 5
Exceptions:
Caramel Macchiato:
-1 pump of Vanilla, shots go ON TOP
Matcha Latte:
-1 scoop of matcha, steam powder in with milk if hot; no espresso
Chai:
Hot and cold chai lattes get normal pumps and no shots, but HOT chai is made with a small amount of hot water by default
If a drink’s base syrup is white mocha, regular mocha, or cinnamon dolce, or seasonal drinks as specified, it gets whipped cream on top. No other drink gets this by default.
That’s it!

to add, americano’s get the same number of shots regardless of being hot or iced, a venti iced americano gets 4 shots as well as a venti hot americano.

i really don’t understand why it’s so confusing 😭😭 i think it’s just easier with frappes bc it’s al 2/3/4 but there are more things i need to memorize with hot

(unless you use a full dose pump of anything for a frap, then you have to do 1/2/2 full pumps)

zedazeni has a great breakdown of the shots/syrups numbers, so I’ll just add on the top tip we tell our green beans:
think of every espresso bar drink as a latte.
• latte = your base drink; get comfortable with how to make it hot or iced
• cappuccino = latte with extra foam
• flat white = latte with whole milk, extra shot + make them ristretto, white dot on top
• caramel macchiato = latte with one fewer pump of vanilla, upside down (shots on top of milk), caramel drizzle
• mocha, white mocha, PSL = latte with syrup and whipped cream (PSL also gets pumpkin topping)
• americano = latte with water instead of milk, different number of shots
and so on!
