What Exactly Is A Starbucks Handcrafted Drink?
BY AUSTIN HAVENS-BOWEN
A handcrafted drink is a beverage that requires a Starbucks barista behind the counter to make it themselves rather than pour coffee from a carafe or out of a bottle.
This includes any highly customized drink that requires a barista to steam milk, blend ice, or press a button on an espresso machine, including cold brews and lattes.
These drinks are usually more expensive, because the cost factors in the labor and extra ingredients, and requires a little patience before you take the first sip.
