We Tried Starbucks's 2 New Spring Macchiatos — and 1 Will Be Your New Favorite

Starting Feb. 28, Starbucks will have two brand-new macchiatos on the menu, and the best part is that they aren't limited edition. Once you know how each one is made, you can order them to your heart's content. Each of the macchiatos, as with all of Starbucks's macchiatos, can be ordered hot or iced, but these new ones are being featured one each, hot and iced, to show off the flavors in the drinks.

The first is the Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato. This hot drink starts with coconut milk and a white chocolate mocha sauce that then has espresso poured over it. It's topped with a caramel drizzle and a swirl of mocha sauce. The coconut milk in this drink provides a richness that you don't normally get from a macchiato made with dairy milk. While the caramel and mocha sauces provide sweetness to balance out the strong espresso, it's not overly sweet. This drink may be new for Spring, but I think it'd be perfect for a chilly day.

The second new macchiato is the Iced Cinnamon Almondmilk Macchiato, which may be my new favorite Starbucks drink. As with all macchiatos, it starts with the milk, and for this one it's Starbucks's Almondmilk. Add to that a kick of the sweet cinnamon dolce syrup, the signature espresso, the caramel drizzle, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and you've got a refreshing iced drink that is so full of flavor. The ground cinnamon is the real star of the show in this drink, and the almond milk provides a slight nuttiness to complement the espresso. You really can't go wrong with this order.
