Starbucks: dark cherry mocha

[Aimeedyan]

I got one yesterday - they are DELICIOUS. Definitely my favorite item on the menu right now.

We asked and you can not order it "skinny" because that includes sugar free syrup, which they can't do. But you can order non fat, no whip and save yourself those calories (which is always what I do).

Man, I'm drooling on my keyboard right now, but the Starbucks down the street closed 25 minutes ago so I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow.

And for the record, I'm also pregnant and I'm going to order it full fat and full caffeine. When I started running several years ago, I underwent a lifestyle overhaul - I use to order "skinny" drinks nearly every day; now I just skip the Starbucks (or any other coffee) in the morning, but treat myself to a full fat version every once in awhile. Guilt free. Life is about being healthy, not constantly depriving yourself of things you really want. And I (or, the baby, as I justified) really wanted 3 caramel Drumsticks on the weekend, so I ate them. It's not going to hurt me, or my baby. We all make choices in what we eat, and I choose to eat healthy and exercise frequently, and enjoy the occaisional treat without worrying about it. For the record, I am 20 weeks pregnant and on the lower end of the healthy weight gain spectrum.

But back to the topic: I love chocolate, and I love cherries, and I love coffee, and I am so glad the OP posted this!

Did you cook it first?

The mocha is SOOO yummy. I had one last night at Barnes and Nobles. I got the tall and Mom helped me drink it. BOY WAS I AWAKE very quickly.

I knawed on it while watching movies of gratuitous nudity and violence because I was sick of reading "What to expect when you are expecting" (jk)

You guys made me crave a mocha frap and luckily.. there was a Starbucks on the way home for DH. I'm not a cherry fan, but he is so I might have him try this new drink.

I got to craving cake batter the other night.. and since I know that's a no no I made DH drive me to Cold Stone Creamery to get their cake ice cream stuff. OMG so good, and I bought some to keep in the freezer to help with future cravings . This baby gets junk sometimes if it's what I crave, I'm still on the low end of weight gain (only gained 5 lbs this pregnancy so far) so I'm allowed to eat almost everything.

Just remember, they are more expensive then the Crack in a Cup from McD's!

I am doing WW right now so I have to wait for the weekend, that's when I am allowed to have a little crap!

When I got the email from Starbucks describing this new drink, I knew I had to try it. And now I am 100% going to try it. I won't be near Starbucks tomorrow, but I'll be near about 4 different Starbucks on Friday.

I'm getting mine tomorrow!!

I'm not pregnant but I did survive raising 3 teenagers so I deserve all the crap I can consume. These things sound delish. I do not drink coffee but I think I'm going to get one of these, fully loaded, with all of the calories and fat grams I can stand.

Seriously, I can't stop laughing! Tears are rolling down my face and I was tryng to read it to my husband and couldn't stop laughing.

I was at Starbucks today but didn't see these drinks advertised. I wonder if they will come to Canada?

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

I saw these the other day, but was good and got a tea instead. I am going to have to try one soon though!!!!

 

[Duckyiam71]

I work here and if you can, try it with soy. It is a little more expensive but it tastes really like heaven! You can also get in a frappucino. aslo a pp posted stated she is tired of white mochas try a dark cherry WHITE chocolate mocha. I think all the baristas at my store like it better this way! Enjoy!

I think I'm sorry I opened this thread! That drink sounds fabulous and its the last thing I need. I only hit Starbucks a few times a month and stick with one skinny flavored latte or another, but this sounds too good to pass up. The other one I love is the pumpkin spice--its just out in the fall-Christmas. I only get it occasionally since it doesn't come in the skinny version, but love it.

Hmm, never really ever into cherry flavor things, especially with chocolate. Does it taste like a chocolate covered cherry? If so, then I know I won't like it. I would hate to waste 3 bucks!

Yes, they are here. I figure if they have it in Red Deer they should have it everywhere. Our Starbucks has been advertising it for at least 2 weeks now. So the power of suggestion being what it is, after reading this thread I had a major Starbucks craving so I went yesterday, but didn't have the cherry mocha as I'm not a fan of cherry flavourings, although in theory, it sounds lovely.
