#Caramel cloud macchiato series#

(If I heeded Starbucks’s advice, I’d go by my “Cloud Name,” which is, according to the guidelines provided by Starbucks, Wispy K Stratosauce.) Obviously, a busy Starbucks barista spelled my name “Katylnn,” which was its own second treat for me. The Cloud Macchiato, after all, also comes with a caramel drizzle, which - if you try - you can spread in an even layer across your tongue to inoculate it from the rest of the drink. The “cloud” component of the drink took up two-thirds of the cup, yet was not enough to mask the taste of burnt espresso, which is not unexpected if you’ve ever bought a drink at Starbucks, and also not that much of a problem for me personally. It’s all so semi-professional and basically elegant! As was the Cloud Macchiato I bought at the Starbucks closest to the Staten Island Ferry this morning. The image she posts of the macchiato itself is, I would say, not the most flattering, and kind of makes it seem as if the drink sat on her counter for around 11 hours without her wanting more than a sip of it, which could be why Starbucks replied to the tweet by writing, “You like our cloud? Gee thanks, just made it,” a tweet that can be read both as a reference to Ariana Grande’s new song “7 Rings” and to the freshness of the pictured beverage. In the same photo series, Ariana sits on the ground in an apron and lets one of her dogs - who is wearing a $250 Tiffany dog collar - lick her on the mouth.

*Cloud foam contains egg whites.” Grande celebrated the drink’s release by tweeting a photo series in which a Starbucks barista made her a Cloud Macchiato in her home, then suggesting that her fans “try the soy version.” (Cloud foam contains egg cloud #cloudmacchiato #starbucksambassador #trythesoyversion /y2LRAx33Sq- Ariana Grande March 5, 2019 So light and fluffy they’re basically a cloud in a cup. This morning, Starbucks celebrated the merciful end of prolonged suspense with a tweet reading, “Introducing new Iced Cloud Macchiatos in Caramel and Cinnamon.

All they could do was say it in capital letters, and promise that if their suspicions turned out to be true, they would order a “grande” of the Grande drink! Very clever, and I’m happy for them that everything worked out. Grande’s fans, of course, suspected that she was creating some kind of new product with Starbucks, but couldn’t prove it. Grande teased the collaboration yesterday with a tweet of two cloud emoji, one coffee cup emoji, one black heart emoji, and today’s date. Starbucks teased the collaboration yesterday with a tweet of two cloud emoji, one green heart emoji, and one coffee cup emoji. The woman loves clouds! Clouds also feature prominently in the merch for Grande’s 2018 album Sweetener, which includes a sweatshirt with an image of a giant Ariana Grande sitting on top of the Earth and fingering a cloud. It also comes from Grande’s Twitter account, which has more than 62 million followers, from which she tweeted the cloud emoji 98 times in 2018, including nine times in a single tweet teasing the release of her July single “God Is a Woman.” The “cloud” component comes from Starbucks’s trademarked cold foam, which was introduced in 2014. Ariana Grande has her own Starbucks drink now - a “Cloud Macchiato” that comes in cinnamon or caramel, hot or cold.
