Starbucks’ Reserve roasteries are known for their immersive coffee experiences and specialized menus. If you’re lucky enough to live near a Reserve roastery or visit NYC, Chicago, or Seattle, don’t miss the chance to enter a world of delicious seasonal flavors. Starbucks’ Reserve locations just announced their new holiday menu, with indulgent coffee concoctions such as the Iced Caramel Brulée Eggnog Latte. Specialty beverages like this join the menu featuring beloved classics like the Peppermint Mocha drinks.

Visitors can also try the new Eggnog Espresso Martini for something a bit stronger than a traditional latte. This fun seasonal latte is made with Zacapa 23 Aged Rum, cream, vanilla syrup, Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters, eggnog, and is topped with cold foam and a dusting of nutmeg.

From cold brew to creamsicle lattes: Orange flavor is the summer’s hottest trend

How orange evokes nostalgic feelings

Orange Creme

Butter yellow may be everywhere in fashion and beauty this summer, but trends suggest that orange is the focus of the summer in the world of food. With the nostalgia trend continuing on social media, brands like M&Ms, Coke, and Califia Farms are focusing on the emotional appeal of orange flavor in new summer products.
Califia Farms has recently launched an Orange Creme Refresher, complete with a sweet and citrusy taste that's intended to evoke a sensory link to childhood. To learn more about the orange flavor trend, I spoke with Kaytee Hadley, MS, RDN, IFMCP, a dietitian and founder of Holistic Health and Wellness in Richmond, VA. Here's what she shared about how orange creme is being used in coffee, juices, and more.

New Belgium partners with iconic Chicago wormwood liqueur brand on special beer

The Colorado brewery is daring you to try this six-pack

Voodoo Ranger Malort IPA.

New Belgium Brewery is calling it a dare. The brand has teamed up with Jeppson's Malört on a six-pack of beer that includes both a popular IPA beer and one made with the legendary Chicago-born liqueur. The Roulette IPA pack is officially out and it includes four Voodoo Ranger IPAs and two cans of the unique Malört-style IPA.

It's a clever bit of marketing as all six cans look the same. Hence, the roulette name. Consumers won't know what they've cracked until they have a taste. The move is decidedly fun, playing off the adventurous aspect of the ranger character and combining a blind tasting with a challenge of sorts.

Can you put vanilla extract in coffee? Here’s why it’s a game-changer

Is vanilla extract or vanilla syrup a better choice?

vanilla extract

Vanilla extract is an ingredient that immediately makes me think of baking -- from vanilla pudding to a simple vanilla birthday cake. Until recently, the thought of adding vanilla extract to coffee hadn't occurred to me. Of course, I've enjoyed a cup of vanilla-flavored coffee many times and used various vanilla coffee syrups. In my coffee research, I recently discovered that adding vanilla extract to instant coffee can enhance its flavor.

While this is true for instant coffee, I wondered how vanilla extract would taste when added to traditional drip coffee drinks. So, can you put vanilla extract in coffee? Here's what to know about using this baking ingredient as a way to upgrade your coffee bar.
