A Short Pistachio Cortado from Starbucks has 150 calories, 5g protein, 22g carbs, 5g fat, 19g sugar and 230mg of caffeine.
Our Pistachio Cortado starts with three ristretto shots of Starbucks® Blonde Espresso Roast to give a smoother, sweeter and richer espresso profile, combined with flavors of sweet pistachio and perfectly steamed milk for a creamy, delicious taste. Finished with a salted brown-buttery topping and served in a short (8 fl oz) cup for a pick-me-up that’s small but mighty in espresso and flavor.
