Macchiato at Starbucks..

On a trip to Starbucks a couple of weeks back I was intrigued by a sign behind the Baristas which displayed their New signature range of Macchiatos. I unfortunately had a coffee craving that day and stuck to my usual Cappuccino.
 
However a coupld of days back I decided to give the Macciato’s a try. I decided to order both the machiatos that were on Offer.
 
BTW : Macchiato is an Italian word meaning “marked.” In this case, it refers to the espresso poured over the top, “marking” the steamed milk.
 
Chocolate Hazelnut Macchiato:
A combination of chocolate and hazelnut with coffee. Velvety steamed milk and espresso is infused with an aromatic chocolate and hazelnut syrup finished with a layer of micro foam and a chocolaty, nutty drizzle. I had the cold drink version with crushed ice
Butterscotch Macchiato: 
This drink had a distinct toffee & caramel flavor These flavors combine with velvety steamed milk, Starbuck’s signature  espresso, and is topped off with butterscotch drizzle
Both the drinks had a distint layer of expresso, steamed milk and a cross hatch finish.
I enjoyed both the drinks, though I favoured the Choclate Hazelnut Macchiato a tad better than the Butterscotch.
The two drinks put me back by a little over 500 rupees..Go try it !!!
