Starbucks recently announced that its Doubleshot Energy coffee drinks will now be available in two new spiced flavors. While the coffee-based beverages are primarily designed for fueling consumers on the go, now the drinks offer the same great taste of a Starbucks latte in addition to a powerful energy boost.
In addition to existing varieties such as Hazelnut and White Chocolate, the Doubleshot Energy coffee drinks will now come in a spicy Mexican Mocha flavor and a sweet Spiced Vanilla flavor. The former combines espresso and other energy boosting-ingredients with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and cayenne to mimic the taste of Mexican hot chocolate. The latter combines espresso with spices such as vanilla, ginger and chai for a drink that resembles that of the chain's Vanilla Spice Latte. For added convenience, both flavors come in a handy can that can be enjoyed on the go.
