What is it?
Starbucks' iced caramel macchiato is vanilla syrup and milk over ice, topped with espresso shots and a crosshatch of caramel drizzle, so it drinks in layers. The hot version joined the menu in 1996.
It is one of the chain's most-ordered drinks worldwide, carried by office workers through Seattle's mild 24°C summers and Hong Kong's humid 30°C days.
The first sips are bold espresso and caramel, turning milky and sweet as the layers mix. Size and milk choice shift the total.
