I Gagged on a Starbucks Chestnut Praline Latte
Sounds worse that it was, but it’s the truth. Upon my first sip of a cold Chestnut Praline Latte, I sucked in a praline crumb (which I wasn’t expecting) and coughed and hacked it out. I just wasn’t expecting a hard item in my CPL so it caught me off guard.
The drink itself isn’t bad. It’s very nutty and kinda vanilla-ish (to me but I guess that would be the caramelized chestnut and spice flavors). It seems like I’ve tasted a variation of this drink before in the past. Not overly sweet like the Pumpkin Spice Latte or the Salted Caramel Mocha. I haven’t tried the hot version and not all stores are selling the CPL before the official November 12 launch.
When you take your first sip of a CPL, watch out for them praline crumbs. š

A gentleman sips his drink. Only a boorish fellow would consume his drink in such a manner that would allow a praline chip to become lodged in a bronchial tube.

After hours in the sun with kids’ sporting events, I was thirsty. Couple that with the novelty of the new drink, I may have been overly eager to indulge in a CPL. Actually the lesson here is accept the whipped cream so the praline chips stay lodge there and not in my bronchial tube.
