Our Pecan Cortado starts with three ristretto shots of Starbucks® Blonde Espresso Roast to give a smoother, sweeter and richer espresso profile, combined with flavors of comforting pecan and perfectly steamed milk for a creamy and rich yet balanced taste. Finished with a pecan-crunch topping and served in an 8 fl oz cup for a pick-me-up that is small but mighty in espresso and flavor.
