A huge thank you to Brandon for submitting this Drink of the Week. It’s the Espresso Sunshine. Here’s how Brandon describes the “Espresso Sunshine”:
“It’s an iced Americano with respective pumps of Caramel syrup; SHAKEN! The caramel syrup enhances the natural caramel taste of the espresso. It’s simply delicious! Try pairing it with a reduced-fat cinnamon swirl coffee cake!”
The origin of this drink goes back to the UK, where it was first popularized.
Just as a reminder, if you submit a “drink of the week” or a “Frappuccino of the week” and I use it on this site, I’ll send you a Starbucks Roastery card (with $10 on it) as a thank you. (Brandon’s thank you card is already out in the mail).
I did run out and try this as suggested. I’m not a huge Americano drinker but I totally see how people will love this. Caramel syrup does work in an Amerciano! (Thank you to the Starbucks at 130th & Aurora for beautifully decorating my cup!)

The espresso sunshine sounds so yummy. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
Sounds like a wonderful alternative to the Starbucks Doubleshot which is a favorite of mine. I will be trying this one.

Rafael – I’m flattered by your comment! I’m so lucky that the barista champion who created the drink happened to read this on the blog! Nicely done and congratulations on the championship and beverage!!!
I like Americano’s (hot and iced) and I would totally try this. I will have to remember next time I want to redeem a reward. How much exactly are respective pumps?
