For this week's Wildcard Wednesday, I'd like to talk about something a modern-day teen (such as myself) may refer to as super "basic", but something I really really enjoy...STARBUCKS. Thank God there's one right around the corner from my house, and though my bank account doesn't necessarily enjoy it as much as I do, I can never get enough. Here's a list of pretty much all the drinks I love to get from there and why/when I get them. You should give them a shot sometime and tell me how it is!
Green Tea Lemonade, Sweetened
I probably get this drink more than any other drink from Starbucks, probably because it's so refreshing. I love all types of iced tea, but green tea happens to be my favorite. Add in lemonade, and it's even more delicious. I don't mind it unsweetened, but it's so much better with a little bit of their signature sweetening syrup. Lately, I've been getting a Peach Green Tea Lemonade, which is the same drink but with some peach flavoring syrup added. It's really a great refreshing summer beverage. I usually recommend this to my friends who aren't really into Starbucks (because they think it's only coffee) and they become hooked! This drink was like my "gateway drug".. after this, my eyes were opened to the deliciousness that is Starbucks.
Iced Soy Chai Latte
This drink is really delicious! It can be hot or cold, but I prefer it cold. It has a nice unique taste, and my friends and I like to say it taste like "Christmas in a cup". It's slightly creamy because it's a latte, and it provides some caffeine/energy from the chai tea. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a nice cold drink and wouldn't mind a little caffeine. I get this drink when I'm feeling like I need some coffee, but don't really want to be jumping off the walls (coffee rarely does that to me, but I'd rather not take the chance).

Ohh, the coffee frappuccino. I would drink coffee frappuccinos every single Friday morning before I went into school, and I usually drink it before any big event I go to. It's coffee, so it definitely gives me the great energy from the caffeine, while being refreshing because it's cold, and also tasting delicious. I can drink hot coffee, but I prefer all my drinks cold (tea, coffee, etc.) even throughout the winter season. I recommend this for anyone who doesn't like a super strong coffee taste, but prefer a lighter taste.
Iced Coffee
Just like I mentioned above, I prefer my drinks cold. I get an iced coffee with cream and 4 splendas. Sometimes I'll get it with soy just for some additional flavor. If I need some coffee but don't have too much time to drink a coffee frappuccino (it takes a while, since it is in a thicker form) I'll order this beverage. Just writing this post makes me want some coffee! It's delicious.
Iced Caramel Macchiato
I don't often order this drink, but when I do, It's always satisfying. I love the strong espresso taste combined with the milk, it's really nice. I usually order it "mixed" because I do prefer it all evenly mixed up for me. There's also the hazelnut iced macchiato which is tasty as well, but I don't enjoy it as much as the caramel version. The macchiato isn't a beverage I would recommend for anyone who isn't a espresso fan, as it has a somewhat of a strong taste, but otherwise, I'd totally suggest it!
Green Tea Frappuccino with Caramel
Last, but certainly not least, is this amazing concoction. It's a drink I usually order when I'm feeling like I want a lot of sugar, or something crazy sweet. It's absolutely tasty, but I can only order this in the grande form (medium sized) because too much of it makes me nauseous - it's that sweet! I don't want to scare you away, because it is certainly delicious, but it's not for everyone. Definitely give it a shot!Honorable Mentions
- Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino
- Passion Tea Lemonade
That's it for my first Wildcard Wednesday, I hope you enjoyed it! I definitely enjoyed writing this up, and I'm definitely open to anyone who may recommend any beverages - I absolutely love discovering new drinks from Starbucks to fuel my addiction.. I'm actually heading to get some right now. Thanks for reading!
