“Strawberry Blonde” This Morning

To start off this week and morning, my free Starbucks concoction is a “Strawberry Blonde.” No, there’s no actual strawberry or fruit in my coffee, just a mix of the Vanilla Blonde with an extra shot of espresso.

Since coffee with one shot added is a red eye, a blonde (roast) as the base of a red eye gives you a strawberry blonde. While tamer than a Black Eye Blonde, the single shot doesn’t give the drink that espresso creaminess. But then again, free is free!
