In case you haven’t noticed, I am someone who is quite
“passionate” about things I love. When I find something I can’t get enough of,
I fly that flag loud and proud. Well, Starbucks is no exception. Addicted,
obsessed and infatuated are just three words that come to mind when I think
about it. I HAVE to have Starbucks once a day or my whole world is completely
thrown off. And I am extremely particular about my drink orders. As I stated in
a previous post, each morning I wake up with every intention to stop at
Starbucks on my way to work. On the mornings where I get my butt in gear early
enough and actually get to make that happen, my morning Starbucks order is
always the same and always perfection. A Venti Cinnamon Dolce Latte, extra hot.
I started drinking these exactly one year ago and I have been hopelessly
addicted ever since. Sometimes I start to place my order with the intention of
ordering something different, and every time the voice crackles over the
ordering screen, I immediately revert to my treasured Cinnamon Dolce Latte.
Last year, I drank them with such frequency that one day my friend Maegen grabbed
my cup out of my hand and sipped it “to see what all the fuss is about” since I
raved about how delicious they are on the daily. She immediately loved it as
well. One time Jordan decided to surprise us with coffees from Starbucks but
forgot the name of my signature drink. We laughed hysterically as he recounted
the tale of him going up to the barista at Starbucks and ordering “Two Dolce and Gabanna’s please”. We have
since always referred to the Cinnamon Dolce Latte as such. The drink is just
so….. cozy. It instantly relaxes me and I feel the stress just melt away. I am
completely obsessed.

My favourite summer time drink has got to be the Passion Tea
Lemonade. I started drinking these quite some time ago, and they are so
refreshing and light. I have since tweaked it slightly, to put a little “Bri”
spin on it. I order a tall Raspberry Peach Passion Tea Lemonade with half the
amount of ice and it is absolutely delicious. Definitely a summer time must
have.

The reason why I chose to write this post is because this
week is the week I look forward to all year long. From May 1-10, it is
Frappucino Happy Hour from 3-5. Also, since I am a Gold Card member, it is
extended an extra hour, till 6pm. All frappucinos are HALF PRICE. I look
forward to this time probably more than I should. I have been on a tear since
Friday, ordering my favourite frapp in the world….. the Raspberry Mocha
frappucino every day around 5pm. IT IS SO GOOD. My mouth is watering and I am
getting the shakes just thinking about how on the way home from work I get to
swing by Starbucks and get my fix. I highly recommend it if you like sweet,
creamy, cold and coffee based drinks. My son loves the strawberries and cream
frappucino as there is no coffee in it whatsoever. Pretty much a glorified milkshake.
When May 10 is over I will be one sad Bri, knowing that it will be another year
before Frappucino Happy Hour is upon us once more.

I love Starbucks probably more than I should. I would love
to hear what your favourite drinks are. Either comment below or send me an
email from the “Contact me by email” section. Lord knows I need another excuse
to go to Starbucks and try a new drink.
