Starbucks describes it like this: “Our Cortado combines three ristretto shots of Starbucks® Blonde Espresso to give a smoother, sweeter, and richer espresso profile, with perfectly steamed whole milk for a velvety texture and balanced flavor, served in 8 fl oz short cup for an ideal pick-me-up.
(If Starbucks® Blonde Espresso Roast is not available, signature Espresso Roast will be substituted.)”
