Our signature espresso and steamed milk mingle beautifully with juniper syrup. This beverage has a light, pine-like flavor with delightful citrus undertones. We cap this latte with velvety foam and accentuate the remarkable flavor with a dusting of pine-citrus sugar.

As we have said above, for a standard (or small if you speak the coffee shop lingo) cup of coffee, you want to add 30ml of syrup. To measure this out, you'll just need to use the humble tablespoon. A tablespoon measures out just under 15ml, so two tablespoons of flavoured syrup will start you off.

A caffe latte typically has a 2:1 ratio of milk to espresso, with more steamed milk than a latte, which usually has a 1:2 ratio of milk to coffee.

Starbucks says the Juniper Latte tastes like winter. And winter, to Starbucks, is a “hint of juniper and sage,” along with “an evergreen aroma and citrus notes.” The full recipe breakdown for their new drink is: espresso, steamed milk, juniper syrup, and pine-citrus sugar.

Juniper Latte is available at participating Starbucks locations in the U.S. starting today (Nov. 27) for a limited time, while supplies last. This beverage joins the line-up of Starbucks holiday espresso beverages like Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte.

Do Starbucks lattes have coffee in them? ›

Ingredients. Milk, Brewed Espresso.

A latte is made with steamed milk and espresso. The caffeine comes from the espresso at about 60–80mg of caffeine per shot. A grande (medium) latte at Starbucks is made with 2 shots of espresso thus containing 120–160mg of caffeine.

On average, a single (small) latte contains around 63 mg of caffeine, while a double (large) latte contains about 125 mg. As macchiatos have a lower milk content, they also have more caffeine per volume. A 2-ounce (60-ml) macchiato, for instance, has just over 85 mg of caffeine per serving.
