In late November, Starbucks introduced the Juniper Latte. It’s probably the first time that a latte has a tree-like and woodsy aroma and flavor. For me, words that go with this drink are pine, woodsy, spicy, gin, Christmas, balsam, and festive. I get some pine aroma, and I even brought a few pine cones to the Starbucks store to get more of that smell. This drink is offered using Christmas Reserve as the espresso, a wonderful limited-edition holiday coffee offering.
You will find the Juniper Latte at the following Starbucks locations: (Look for this drink at Reserve Bar locations, which is a store that has elevated coffee and brewing options, and different seasonal beverages and merchandise.)

I guess that means I’d headed to Lake Forest soon!
Finally found the complete list of Starbucks Reserve Bars (and Roasteries too):

Some of those locations are head-scratchers, almost as nonsensical as Shake Shack’s expansion strategy… but I guess these stores are licences to print money no matter where they go!
Does anyone know what stores in the country are selling the cardamom latte? I can’t find anyplace through the mobile app that offers it.
On the menu it is called a Vanilla spice latte, one of the main ingredients is cardamom.
Hi Mel – do you know if the juniper latte that just launched in regular stores (dec 2018) is the same formula as this one or is it a sweeter/different version?
Thanks!
