Chile Mocha with light whip

Overall, the drink is okay with nothing overly distinctive. There’s the heat, but it dissipates in an iced version as the ice melts to water down the drink. The Chile Mocha is a nice change up to Starbucks’ seasonal menu, but I won’t order it again this season. Maybe one hot version just to try.

Really though, the unsung hero of the fall lineup is the Salted Caramel Mocha. This is the guilty pleasure of sweet and savory in between the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Chile Mocha. Hot, cold – no matter. It’s all good.

But oh yeah, be ready for an itchy butt if you do try the Chile Mocha.
