International Coffee Day 2020

Happy International Coffee Day 2020!

It’s no secret that coffee is my second favorite non-alcoholic beverage (after water of course)! I drink coffee everyday — even if I don’t need it.

How are you celebrating today? If you need a few recommends, check out this list of my favorite coffee drinks (most of which are from Starbucks):

1) Dirty chai tea latte. Whew! Y’all. Y’ALL. This drink is so superior. Espresso — the “dirty” in the dirty chai tea latte — elevates and compliments the chai tea in this drink. I love how chai tastes by itself, but the espresso brings out so many flavors in the chai. This drink is so good. My absolute favorite.

2) Almond milk latte with cinnamon. I love the simplicity of this drink! The almond milk and cinnamon together have flavors that are just strong enough to give you a pick-me-up. But the espresso is definitely the star of this show.

3) Pumpkin cream cold brew. What is in the pumpkin cream at Starbucks?! It’s perfect for when I need something sweet. I love cold brew coffee too so this drink is perfection.

4) Salted caramel mocha latte. This drink is a little too sweet (just being honest) but so good around the holidays! I love the little hints of salt on top.

5) Hazelnut macchiato. I loved the hazelnut macchiato! I don’t think Starbucks sells it anymore but the hazelnut is way better than the caramel version. If you’re at Starbucks, try the caramel version today.

Also, if you really want to elevate these drinks, try them with almond milk. Almond milk makes these drinks taste 10x better. I don't know why but all of these drinks are amazing with almond milk!

I love drinking coffee and reading, so read this post for book recommendations too!
