Lately, I’ve been on a mission to cut back on my Starbucks runs, so I decided to start making my own iced shaken espresso at home—and honestly, I’m not looking back. My latest creation? An iced horchata shaken espresso using Starbucks’ new horchata creamer. It’s creamy, perfectly spiced, and gives that coffee shop feel without the daily splurge.
Of course, the experience wouldn’t be complete without the right cup. I recently ordered a new tumbler from Nespresso, and I couldn’t resist—it’s pink! If you know me, you know that was an instant yes. On the website, the color is called “bubble gum,” and it’s just as fun and vibrant in person. Safe to say, it was a great purchase and a perfect addition to my growing cup collection.
This travel tumbler has quickly become my go-to. It’s designed to keep your iced coffee close wherever you go, and it’s as functional as it is stylish. Created by Italian designer Frederico Peri, every detail feels intentional—from the textured, transparent exterior with vertical lines that showcase your drink, to the comfortable grip it provides. It also comes with a straw, a secure cap, and even an extra straw for convenience, making it easy to stay caffeinated and chic on the go.
