So how exactly does it stack up to the rest of the Shaken Espresso lineup?
Starbucks rounded out its trio of dairy farm - free Shaken Espresso beverages with the debut of its all - newIced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espressoas part of an early spring menu update last week . The new , coffee - forward drink connect its former Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk and Iced Chocolate Almondmillk iterations , which first landed on menus in spring 2021 .
While we ’ve already voice our adoration for the latter two , we thought it only necessary to give Starbucks ' latest go a endeavour for ourselves . So what makes it unlike ? How does it stack up compared to its counterparts ? We ’re answering all .
When can you get the Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso?
Starbucks ' later addition joins the coffee giant ’s lineup of non - dairy Iced Shaken Espresso beverages precisely one year to the day of its original launching . The Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk translation strike menus just last hebdomad , and much like the originals , it wo n’t be choke anytime before long . All three Shaken Espresso potable are now uncommitted permanently .
What does it taste like?
The Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso promises a " twist on the classic vanilla extract flavor " with Starbucks ' blonde espresso and notes of caramelized vanilla extract with smooth , creamy oat Milk River — all of which beam through when we try out the deglutition for ourselves . Much like the other two Shaken Espresso beverages , the Iced Toasted Vanilla has a subtle sweetness that melds together perfectly with the bluff , rich espresso . It is n’t quite so lenient as other Starbucks latte and mochas , but or else , vaunt more flavor complexity .
If you ’re more of a cherubic , White Chocolate Mocha juicer , then this very much coffee - forward beverage probably is n’t a great candidate for your new go - to order , but then again , it ’s got a short something for everyone to love .
How does it compare to the other Shaken Espresso beverages?
Every Shaken Espresso beverage features a measured proportion of redolence and rich espresso flavoring , but each one is a second unequalled . The Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso taste and felt swooning than the chocolate and brown sugar iterations of the drink . We also found that the oat Milk River and vanilla geminate created an extra dimension of complemental flavors that ’s not quite so plain in the others .
