2. Salted Caramel Mocha

This simple drink can burst in your tastebuds from the fusion of mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup on the coffee and steamed milk combination. 

The best is the whipped cream on top that is drizzled with caramel sauce and sprinkled with turbinado sugar and sea salt.

3. Caramel Frappuccino

One of the on-the-go sweet drinks that can never go wrong no matter what taste bud you have. 

The caffeine drink is combined with caramel syrup, milk, and ice, finished off with whipped cream and caramel sauce on top.

4. Coffee Jelly Frappuccino

You may think this is just coffee, but this Frappuccino uses caramel syrup as its base blended with milk, coffee, and ice. 

On the bottom is coffee jelly, and topped with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. Mix up this drink with your straw to taste all three layers in one go!

5. Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino

The combination of the flavors in this cup is one of the most phenomenal. The sweetness of the vanilla whipped cream and the bitterness of coffee and dark caramel sauce combined perfectly to create this drink. 

To make the drink even more unique, there is an added crunchy caramelized topping on top of the whipped cream.

8. Harry Potter-inspired Butterbeer Frappuccino

Make sure that before you start formulating your next favorite Starbucks’ drink, take a look at these quick facts to know what type of additional caramel you’ll want.

  • Do not be confused between caramel syrup and caramel sauce. While caramel sauce is for the drizzle on the drinks, caramel syrup is used as a base as it has a thinner consistency.
  • An extra tip, if you want a sweeter drink by using caramel, go for the caramel syrup. If you want something like the extra drizzle on top and drips in the sides of your cup, go for the caramel sauce.
  • The rich caramel brulee sauce is seasonal, so make sure to catch it on your nearest stores from November to January.
  • You don’t have to pay for the charge on the extra syrup if your order already has that same syrup.
  • However, for an extra caramel sauce, there is an additional charge of 60 cents.

Everyone can never get enough of Starbucks’ caramel drinks. Just the great amount of sweetness makes your body feeling alive, no matter the tremendous activities that you have to do for your day.

If you’re feeling thirsty after reading this post, just get up! Wear your shoes and reward yourself with a quick Starbucks run, and make sure it’s a venti cup!
