Quick Review: Starbucks Iced Cocoa Cappuccino

So I loved the refined taste of Starbucks’ new Cocoa Cappuccino as a hot beverage. How about the iced version? Sadly disappointing.

The drink looks luscious in the new siren logo-ed cup then my perception changed once I took a sip. The iced version tastes decomposed without any harmony. I guess that’s expected from the makeup of the drink. Take freshly drawn espresso and infused it with melted mocha. Then steam milk for the froth. Now take all these hot components, stick it in a plastic cup, and dump ice cubes in for a fast chill. Yeah, no wonder there’s no harmony.

For the iced version, I’d stick with a regular old Iced Mocha but as a hot beverage, the Cocoa Cappuccino is definitely worthy.
