While I typically would rather support the java underdog, I find Starbucks' red cups irresistible. Gingerbread, peppermint, and egg nog lattes - oh my! Well actually, nonfat gingerbread lattes and peppermint mochas are my drinks du jour, and since the season of red cups is short lived, 'tis the season to indulge!image/iamblessed
I couldn't agree more! The red cups aren't quite as beautiful as they have been in years past, but they're still a treat. (My Starbucks stocks gingerbread syrup year-round, but I wouldn't dream of ordering one til the red cups come in.)
ReplyDeletei totally agree. i enjoyed a caramel apple cider last week and the red cup put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteI love those red cups too! It must be time for me to try my first gingerbread latte of the season at Starbucks, not sure if they do the egg nog lattes here tho, will have to find out :)
ReplyDeleteI saw some employees putting up Starbucks Christmas decor last night and I got so excited! I love their holiday displays!
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Silly, but there is something so indulgent about picking up a hot cup of coffee.
ReplyDeletethese cups make me happy.
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on this. I can't wait to get my hands on a red cup gingerbread latte!
ReplyDeletemmmmm...peppermint mocha...
ReplyDeleteI love the red cups too! they always make me smile and instantly put me in the holiday mood! I tried gingerbread the other day and it was ok, but I think I'm going to stand by my pumpkin spice latte. nothing can compete!
ReplyDeleteAfter trying a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time this year (normally I'm just a plain, mild coffee drinking type of girl haha) I totally fell in love with their specialty drinks. I'm excited to try a gingerbread latte! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteme too me too! i got tea last night and they gave it to me in a regular cup and i was sooo saddd!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the red cups! Posted about them just last week...
ReplyDeleteHappy Peppermint Mocha season to you!
I agree... I count the days for the peppermint lattes to come out, it's the official start of the holidays for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. I get way too excited when Starbucks busts out the red cups.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the little ornaments they are selling of the red cups? They are sooooo cute, and I totally want one! Gonna have my little bro snag one for me, as he is a Starbucks "Barista" :)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel slightly ill that I get SO EXCITED about the holiday drinks at Starbucks. I do not know how those little red cups infiltrated my psyche, but they have, and I ADORE THEM. :)
