How to add caramel to your Starbucks drink:

Caramel syrup

This dairy-free syrup is the perfect option for cold drinks, as it’s thinner than normal sauce and dissolves more easily.

Caramel sugar topping

Add a little bite to your drink with these small bits of caramel sugar scattered on top. You’ll find it in the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino.

Dark caramel sauce

This sauce is made with caramel sauce and condensed milk, so it has a sweeter taste than your other options.

Salted caramel cream cold foam

This trendy concoction is made by blending cold foam with caramel syrup and salt - it’s sweet and salty deliciousness.

Caramel sauce

Your standard addition, this sauce can be drizzled on top of your drink or used to line the inside of your cup.

Tips on ordering your caramel drink at Starbucks:

  • Caramel is probably the easiest flavor to add to your coffee drink, as the flavors complement each other. So be as adventurous as you like!
  • If you want something that tastes less of coffee, then you can ask for your drink to be made with blonde espresso.
  • You can switch in caramel sauce for any other syrup for free! If you’re adding it to a drink then it will cost extra.
  • If you’re trying out one of the secret menu drinks we’ve discovered below then it’s a good idea to order in person at quieter times, and be nice to your barista!
  • For all you dairy-free queens out there, ask for caramel syrup rather than the other flavoring options, as it’s made with water and sugar.
  • Trying to find the perfect food to go with your caramel drink? Cinnamon coffee cake is the way to go - trust me!

About Me

coffeeandteacorner

My name is Alexandra, and this site is born from my love for tea and coffee.

I've grown up with tea, and discovered coffee only in college. But I have a hard time picking a favorite between the two.

That's why you'll find articles both on coffee and tea, respectively.

I hope you'll enjoy these articles at least as much as I enjoy writing them for you.

Have fun, and have a great day !
