One of the festive offerings from Starbucks this year is a gingerbread latte. It consists of a regular latte with gingerbread syrup, whipped cream and is topped with gingerbead crumbs.

My expectations were pretty high for this. I know the coffee chain normally does a good job during the festive period having tried other holiday-themed Starbucks drinks in the past.

Even though I do not particularly associate gingerbread with Christmas, I was still confident that this would not be a disappointment.

I’m pleased to say that my instinct was correct.

This is a fine festive beverage. It tastes warm and comforting, and not overly sweet which was one of my fears. I’d advise anyone looking to get into the festive spirit to pick up a gingerbread latte next time you’re in the town centre.

9/10
