As we navigate the liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s, motivation may be in short supply, but the need for a delightful pick-me-up is ever-present. Starbucks has answered this call with a fresh array of indulgent beverages designed to help us transition into 2018.
Concerns about the trend of visually appealing drinks overshadowing flavor, reminiscent of the unicorn Frappuccino, can be put to rest. The latest offerings from Starbucks feature a trio of decadent black and white mocha drinks that promise to be as flavorful as they are photogenic.
The Standout: Black and White Mocha
The standout, the Black and White Mocha, is crafted with hot espresso, dark mocha sauce, and white chocolate mocha sauce blended with steamed milk, all topped with whimsical chocolate “sequins” that evoke a touch of elegance. Whether you prefer it with whipped cream or not, the candy sequins are a must-have addition.
Iced and Frappuccino Options
For those who enjoy iced coffee no matter the season, the iced Black and White Mocha provides a refreshing chill. Alternatively, if you resonate with the frosty spirit of a winter queen, the Black and White Mocha Frappuccino could be your drink of choice.
Caffeine-Free Choice
If your New Year’s resolutions include reducing caffeine, opt for the Black and White hot cocoa, which combines the dark and white mocha sauces with milk, minus the caffeine kick.
Fortunately, these drinks not only look enticing in promotional images but also retain their appeal when prepared by skilled baristas. After all, who wouldn’t want to relax with a book and one of these delightful beverages? The only black tie necessary for New Year’s Eve is one made of chocolate sprinkles.

If you received a gift card during the holidays, now is the time to explore these delightful concoctions.
