According to the Starbucks website: “This beverage has a light, pine-like flavor with delightful citrus undertones. We cap this latte with velvety foam and accentuate the remarkable flavor with a dusting of pine-citrus sugar.”
Despite the company’s growing popularity, especially during the holiday season, this drink has received mixed reviews online.
I'm sorry @Starbucks, but this #juniperlatte sounds real gross. I'm not about to spend $5 trying something that could taste like a tree. So someone tell me if it's actually good. pic.twitter.com/XgSIdIx00z

Was just told I was first to order the new @Starbucks #juniperlatte at the Broad St location in Boston. I like it. It’s more subtle than some of the other holiday drinks.

I really@Starbucks , but who thought that pine citrus would make for a tasty holiday drink? Air freshener is not what I was expecting in a cup of coffee.#JuniperLatte
