#Cloud starbucks drink series

The drinks themselves offer two options, depending on your mood - one for Starbucks fans looking for a twist on an old fave, and the other for the more adventurous.

The top is finished off with Starbucks' signature caramel drizzle cross-hatch, giving it a little extra pizzazz - a silver lining to your delicious cloud, if you will. Made with cold milk foam, the topping has a light, almost meringue-like consistency with a subtle sweetness. While the drinks themselves are phenomenal, the real star of the show is, of course, the 'cloud' topping that gives the drink its name.

Bustle had the opportunity to try the new Cloud Macchiato before it formally hit the menu, in both of its forms: the Iced Caramel Cloud Macchiato and Iced Cinnamon Cloud Macchiato. Well, thanks to the good old buck of stars, now us regular people on the ground will get to taste the sky, too - and I can confirm that it is delicious. After all, it's safe to say most of us haven't licked a cloud, save the skydivers and hot balloon adventurers among us. While this news sounds delicious by virtue of its name alone, you're likely wondering what the Starbucks Cloud Macchiato actually tastes like.

So disappointing.After a long series of cryptic cloud tweets, memes, and Instagrams early this week, Starbucks has finally lifted the fog on its latest news: starting March 5, Cloud Macchiatos will be a permanent offering on the menu. “I thought this campaign would be great to spread veganism and compassion to animals, as well. “Why you say that you are a vegan and love animals and then you have eggs in the drink you have in Starbucks?” another fan tweeted. “Would have been nice to see you use your influence for a plant-based food option or a drink that can be made vegan.” Aside from a 2015 incident wherein Grande licked a non-vegan doughnut inside a shop in Los Angeles, the singer has avidly promoted her love of animals and commitment to an animal-free diet. “Just not sure why you would be an ambassador for this particular drink if you’re vegan,” one follower posted. Fans on Twitter criticized the star for promoting a beverage that could not be made vegan.

Today, the singer tweeted photos of herself and several dogs enjoying a cold version through a metal straw with the hashtag #trythesoyversion.” A spokesperson for Starbucks has confirmed to VegNews that the Cloud Macchiato cannot be made vegan, even if soy milk is used in place of dairy milk, as the foam is made with egg whites. Grande began promoting the beverage yesterday on social media by tweeting several cryptic emojis (including her signature cloud emojis), a campaign that excited Grande’s vegan fans. To promote the new beverage, Starbucks teamed with purportedly vegan singer Ariana Grande-a Starbucks fan herself with a history of joking that her last name is the same as one of the chain’s drink size options. Today, Starbucks unveiled the Cloud Macchiato, a beverage that features espresso, a milk-based foam made with egg white powder, and a caramel drizzle that contains butter and cream.
