Your Guide To A Summer of Starbucks

My birthstone is a coffee bean.

Your Guide To A Summer of Starbucks
Starbucks

Since the coffee bean is my birthstone I am more than qualified to report on the newest and most delicious Starbucks drinks of the summer. (You can check my gold status-- member since 2013, I know I'm a big deal.) Starbucks has rolled out a new tea, a new cold brew, a new way to drink a Frappucino and even a sunset menu. I know it's already the end of July, but there's still plenty of time to try out all of the new drinks once (or maybe a few times... I spend too much money on coffee...Help) Here'e your guide to the newest drinks!

Teavana Shaken Berry Sangria Herbal Tea

Did someone say sangria??? This new shaken iced tea has fresh brewed passion tango tea mixed with apple juice, hand shaken with juicy berry flavors and then topped with blackberries and orange slices. It's both sweet and tart and a refreshing twist on iced tea!

Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato

Say that 5 times fast... With Chilled Sumatran Coconut Milk, white chocolate mocha, Espresso Roast, caramel drizzle and a swirl of mocha to create five layers of espresso and summer in a sweet iced coffee. Can you say yum??

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

I've had this one so many times this summer I think it's in my blood stream now. But seriously, holy delicious! Cold Brew coffee has a distinct taste because it's brewed with cold water rather than hot water. This combination is both sweet and bitter and a must try.

Affogato Style Frap's

So this is kind of weird but oddly exciting. If you order a Frap you can now have the option to have a shot of espresso poured over the top of it. I can't decide of this would be good or not, but if you're feeling your adventurous side, a must try!

Sunset Menu

This one is probably the best out of the lot. Starting at 3:00 PM, granitas and trifles are available. I'm talking shaved ice with espresso or white tea or lemonade. WHAT?? Options include Caramel Espresso Granita, Youthberry White Tea Granita and Strawberry Lemon Limeade Granita. Yum! Trifles are hand prepared with layers upon layers of whipped cream and drizzle, with a choice between Chocolate Brownie or Strawberry Shortcake.

But seriously, Starbucks is killin' it at the game this summer. I don't know about you but I may need to pick up a third job just to pay for my multiple coffee stops during the day...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
