Starbucks Hangover: Salted Mocha Caramel

I just got to blog again this time. Last term was one of the most crucial terms that I have experienced and this time, it's a new leaf for me. Time to go to the new me which is the old me back then. Focused, Driven to excellence, priority on academics, etc. I needed a place to read and study "America is in the Heart" by Carlos Bulosan for one of my subjects. What better place to hangout than going to Starbucks. It is like my alternative home when am solo and I need time and space for myself. It is also one of my hangout place when I want to study because the aura of the place makes me feel relaxed. So there was this flavor of Starbucks that I wanted to try out which is Salted Mocha Caramel. I never tried it yet and it was something new to me ever since I learned from their Facebook page a couple weeks back. When I heard about this flavor, the first thing that came to my mind was my good friend's Salted Caramel cupcakes which were one of her best cupcakes that she ever made. Try visiting her Facebook which is Little Louie's Cupcakes if you are cupcake-aholic. Anyways, back to the Salted Mocha Caramel. I then ordered the Frappuccino Grande size which costed me about 165php which is a big price difference from the Tall size which maybe is around 150php since the hot drink for tall costs 145php and the grande costs 160php.

My 1st Ever Grande Salted Mocha Caramel Frappuccino

So what's my opinion and comments as well my rating after trying it out? Well here are some of them:

• If you love Toffee Nut of Starbucks (which is released always around November) + Rock Salt Cheese concept of Happy Lemon, then you will be in love with this drink
• At first I thought it was like pure caramel but then learning late that I should mix the rock salt which was on top, you would not experience the sweet + salty combination of this drink
• It's delicious (Definitely!!!) but for me not a big hit for Starbucks since it's not that much that original since the concept of Rock Salt on top is already being done by Happy Lemon.
• My rating for me would be 3.5/5. Delicious drink but could improve by balancing the mocha and caramel since the one that I ordered the caramel flavor overpowered the mocha flavor rather than the balanced mocha caramel combination.

I believe that Starbucks can make more new and unique flavors just like their Hibiscus Berry and Cool Lime. And don't forget guys that it's almost Christmas and for you those who are into planners especially those collecting Starbucks planners, prepare yourselves by saving up for this year's holiday season.

As for me, time to hit back to studying here for me.
