The coffee chain renowned for its personalization and specialty lattes, Starbucks, has announced that its fan-favorite Pistachio Latte is returning for the start of 2022. This latte features the same high-quality coffee base used in other Starbucks drinks, however, it features a variety of flavorful ingredients such as pistachio sauce, salted brown butter, and steamed milk.
The beverage will cost roughly $5 for a 'Grande' which is Starbucks' medium size, placing it at a comparable price to the brand's other seasonal lattes. The Starbucks Pistachio Latte is available as a hot latte, an iced latte, and a frappuccino form, which account for a variety of consumer preferences. This latte, while it does contain a sauce made with real pistachios, does not contain any ground pistachio or small pistachio chunks as some nut-based lattes do.
