Kdrake! You need this!

This came in my email and I thought of our mutual love of Peppermint Mocha. I'm thinking about gifting it to myself!

[lauranicole91]

Just an fyi hat $30 tumbler just gets you regular coffee. Like pikes, blond, or verona/seasonal blend. You can't just fill it with a latte or other fancy drink. Also they sell out quick!

Ahhhhh shit. I was totally hoping it counted for peppermint mochas I would go fight people in line for that!! Bummer that it's only regular coffees.

[alicia45]

Regular coffee? Ehh.

I've gotten regular coffee with peppermint syrup, chocolate syrup, cream and Splenda. It's not exactly the same, but it's still good.

lauranicole91 If I get it here on vacation in Florida, will my Starbucks in Texas honor it?

That's what you order? And it's not bad?
@lauranicole think they'd let me order that with this mug

Yes. And it's $2.65 instead of $5. It's not the same but it's good and not as pricey.

I'm going to swing by Starbucks tomorrow here and see what they say. Maybe they'll still have them.

It should not matter where you buy the cup. It's a universal cup and will be accepted anywhere.

Wes said that ordering a coffee with two pumps of peppermint and two pumps of mocha along with Splenda and cream would only cost you 50¢ if you had that tumbler and got a free coffee. But he also said he doesn't even knit picky charge people like that, so you may get lucky and get a barista like him.

@lauranicole can he guess how close that would taste to the real thing

He said it's just not going to be as creamy since the milk won't be steamed. If you want it sweeter, you can order it with white mocha vs regular mocha though.

Lauranicole91, I wanted to ask you... if I get a drink at Target Starbucks, do they honor gold card status with free refills? At regular times, not with the special cup.

As of about 2 months ago, yes!
