Starbucks Debuts a New Blonde Espresso Today

We’re so thankful that Starbucks always finds new ways to keep us caffeinated — whether they’re offering brand new drinks (like their seasonal treats, including the limited edition black and white drinks for the new year!) or coming up with fresh twists on our classic favorites, they never cease to amaze us with their genius menu additions. The coffee chain just introduced their newest drink, Starbucks Blonde Espresso, and you can officially try it out starting today.

For the first time in the chain’s 46-year history, they’re introducing a brand new espresso, and this one is sure to please fans of their popular Blonde Roast coffee. The Blonde Espresso offers a lighter coffee flavor than a traditional dark roast, but with the same amount of caffeine to get you going in the morning. If you prefer a lighter flavor (and less sugar!), you’ll want to order your espresso-based drink (from the Vanilla Latte to the Flat White) in the new Blonde flavor, which debuted first in Canada early last year.

Now available at participating Starbucks stores in the States, you’ll definitely want to get yourself to a coffee counter ASAP to find out if blondes really do have more fun… at least, when it comes to delivering the sweet buzz of caffeine in your morning latte.
