The Starbucks Tuxedo Mocha Is a Delicious Hot Mess

As I thought, Starbucks’ new Tuxedo drink lineup sounds better than they appear. In promotions, these drinks look absolutely fabulous juxtaposing the two-tone white/dark chocolate combination. But in practice, when barristas are cranking out drinks, the luxurious look of the Tuxedo drinks is a nice-to-have afterthought.

The drink does taste great however. The depth and bitterness of dark chocolate is brightened by the sweetness of white chocolate. So while the appearance of your Tuxedo drink may not be perfect, the flavor is still an experience that you need to sample.
