My Review

I recently tried the sweet cream version of Starbucks Nitro and was really impressed. It is a great tasting product and the sweet cream adds just a subtle sweetness unlike the overly sweet traditional iced cold brew with sweet cream.

The velvety texture was enjoyable, the flavor was smooth and nonacidic, and the heavy caffeine dose was definitely noticeable. 

Overall this beverage is a great addition to the Starbucks lineup.
