5 different caramel add-ins at Starbucks 

With five different caramel add-ins at Starbucks, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Let’s go through them one by one. 

Caramel drizzle

Caramel drizzles is an incredibly versatile ingredient used for topping or mixing it with other products to make gorgeous drinks. Amongst other ingredients, it contains cream and butter, giving a rich and subtly sweet spin to any drink you add it.

Caramel sauce 

If you’re big on caramel, caramel sauce at Starbucks and especially the dark is a must-try; its gorgeous smoky taste offsets the sweetness, great for garnishing your frappuccino.

Caramel sugar topping

You can sprinkle such caramel bits on the top of your drink that add a crunchy twist to it. 

Caramel syrup 

The good thing with caramel syrups, is that their texture is thinner than any kind of sauces, so they blend pretty well with iced coffee and milk;  one or two pumps will be enough to really elevate your drink with its subtle yet distinct flavour.

Salted caramel foam 

It’s an excellent topping and combo of sweet and savoury flavours that really jazzes any cold brew up.

What’s the main difference between caramel drizzle and caramel sauce? 

The two main differences between caramel drizzle and caramel sauce are the ingredient they’re made of and texture.

To make caramel drizzle you’ll need: 

• granular sugar
• cream
• butter
• salt

To make caramel syrup you’ll only need: 

• sugar
• water

Because there is only sugar and water in caramel syrup its texture is thinner than caramel drizzle.

What caramel brand do Starbucks use in their drinks? 

They use their own brand caramel as they do with other kinds of syrups and sauces; although it’s branded as Starbucks it’s rumoured that it is made by Fontana. 

Top tips for always ordering a delicious caramel brew

Let’s go over a bunch of tips and tricks on how to order a Starbacks brew with caramel:

• Caramel goes well with Starbucks Blonde Espresso that doesn’t have as strong coffee taste as the medium and dark roasts. 
• I suggest you have your caramel drink along with ginger bread which it’s not too sweet and offsets the caramel’s sweetness. 
• Caramel syrup is the best option if you want to avoid dairy. 
• Replacing caramel with any other syrup or sauce flavour won’t cost you extra money, but if you add another flavour to your caramel drink this will come with an extra cost.  
• If you’re ordering to take out, it’s wise to go up a cup size; for example, you can ask for a Grande in a Venti cup, so you ensure you don’t spill coffee in your car. 
• It’s also a good idea ordering through the Starbucks App; you get rewarded with a free drink in every twelve drinks you order.

Let’s wrap it up

I know caramel is so special; it goes so well with coffee whether hot or cold, especially crunchy caramel bits that make you go after them even before the first sip of your drink. You should give the Snickerdoodle Starbucks drink a shot which is also great paired with a Starbucks dessert.
