Hello everyone this is--
Review!
Well hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
I am your host as a report of the week, and this is a drink review part of the unnamed drink series
well, this is a
special review
It's for a Starbucks drink, which whenever I get one of these Starbucks drinks. That's newly released. It's always interesting to try out
Excited you know I'm a big fan of Starbucks. You know I am you know
I'm a big Starbucks consumer an avid Starbucks consumer and
Whenever they really release a new beverage
new drink
usually it's not for a long period of time usually it's just for a number of days and maybe for a week or two and
I usually they do a pretty good job with it
They're pretty creative something new something interesting to try out and this is no exception to that
Starbucks for Valentine's Day has released their cherry mocha. I believe this is the first time release
I don't think I've ever done this type of drink before at least for Valentine's Day because I know
When it comes down to Valentine's Day you know if you have a special someone you might be wondering well
What can I get, you know, him or her?
For this this occasion, you know what can I do can I get a card?
Could I get a heart-shaped pizza?
You know can I go to?
- I don't know can you go to Victoria's Secret and get a you know a set of whatever...
...some Cologne
well
Starbucks, they're kind of saying you know what forget about all that stuff just forget it trash those ideas the heck with it instead go
ahead and get one of our cherry mochas and
That's what they're trying to to say they're making a statement
When they release this beverage, they're making a statement, they're saying
They want to change Valentine's Day as you know it and this is how?
through a cherry mocha
Yes, so what is it exactly
well, it's really it's pretty simple. It's a mocha right so it's gonna have its it's gonna
Be kind of chocolatey with a little hint of cherry to it
You could see and it's actually showing up a little better on the camera than I had anticipated
Because it is night. It's a special after dark
Review, you know kind of to set the scene for Valentine's Day anyway
But then you can see it actually is that's a pretty you know dark
You know dark colored beverage. You could see on the top there
It's got the whipped cream and a little bit of the I don't know what that is cherry-esc garnish anyway
I'm excited to have this beverage here right here in front of me
Which heretofore? I had only seen in advertisements and pictures
And it kind of it looks like it is as advertised and I wonder if it tastes really kind of as they said also
So I'm going to give this a shot now
I'm gonna try it out
And I'm gonna let you know what it tastes like so this is the cherry mocha from Starbucks iced of course
And it's a grande you could get it in all sizes, but I got it as a grande
I'm gonna try it out, and I'll let you know what it tastes like so it's the cherry mocha from Starbucks going in
Goes down pretty easy
I'm gonna take a couple more sips, and then maybe like one little sip of the
Whipped cream there, and then I'll let you know what it tastes like
Peering in, looking into the abyss, gazing in
Yeah, so I was
I was thinking about fish
You know, how they just swim around
It's very interesting how this drink is believe it or not, it's
One of the times when it comes down to certain drinks the way the flavors combine the way it all works out
It oftentimes has a flavor of its own, right?
We're Starbucks you know
Certain beverages from Starbucks, yes, it tastes like something, but they have their own spin to it
for instance you know you can get like a
white chocolate mocha
from
from Starbucks
or a certain type of latte
And it has you know a certain flavor to it. It has a certain
Taste to it, but Starbucks is able to twist it to degree that it also makes it unique in and of itself
But on some occasions and in some circumstances you have beverages from Starbucks or any location which are almost
identical to another
type of
Food or drink, and you could say in terms of how you describe it
It tastes exactly like this or tastes exactly like that and that's really all that there is to say to it
Now the thing that I'm going to compare it to is more of a Christmas type of snack
It's not really like a Valentine's Day. Type of snack but might be associated with Christmas or like wintertime you familiar
Are you familiar with what a cherry cordial is?
If not you can google it you know it's a it's something. It's like a dark chocolate
Candy with a little bit of cherry in the center
And interesting how it is you know?
this drink tastes exactly like it, but I mean in liquid form you know so imagine if you took a
Battalion of
cherry cordials and
You know you you destroyed them. You know you took them, and you put them in a blender, and you just you know?
obliterated them all and
Then maybe you took the cherry cordial paste
maybe yeah, either superheated it to the extent where it became a liquid or
You added water to its added achieved that true liquidy
Texture and consistency
And then you dumped it into a plastic cup and put some ice on top of it. That's really what this tastes like
Just like a cherry cordial now you might not know what that is otherwise what it tastes like again
It's the exact same thing so it's uh
You know it has a dark chocolaty type of flavor, so it's not you know when it says mocha
It's a very rich drink in terms of how the cocoa is
So it tastes like very dark chocolatey, so don't expect it to be like a milk chocolate
Milkshake or anything like that
But it's a it's got the dark chocolate to it. You know very high in that cocoa
dark chocolate within that little bit of a
And for a napkin here
With a little bit of that
Cherry to it as well, but again look up a cherry cordial. That's exactly what it
What it tastes like there? Sorry I had a little bit of a runny nose emergency all right there
So anyway, it's not a very complicated drink. It's not a very complex drink
It's not something that has many twists and turns and and takes all sorts of different directions and paths or anything like that
Rather it just has that dark chocolate enos to it
And that does have a bit of a chair enos also cherry flavor, but that's really all that there is to it
You know it as I said, it's not a very complicated beverage
It is what they?
Advertised it to be and the best thing to compare it to because it is literally this to a tea is a cherry
Cordial that is what it is. I must have used that word
like a zillion times
But that's exactly what it is now that being said considering the price for this which is around
$4.95
Which you know the specialty item I think they did a good job on it it tastes good. Just remember
It's it's gonna be more dark chocolatey than you may have initially anticipated it to be they're four out of ten
I'm going to be giving this an
8.5 out of 10 that's an 8.5 out of 10 because I think they did a pretty good job on it
I think Starbucks did a good job on it. It's a limited time drink so get it while the getting's good and
You know Starbucks are trying to revolutionize Valentine's Day. Maybe this will work. Maybe it won't
But nonetheless I think they did a good job on this drink, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it
I thought they did a good job with it
So that being said I think that pretty much wraps up this review this unnamed drink review. I hope you have a pleasant
Pleasant Valentine's Day no matter how you spend it
