Starbucks describes it like this: “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.”
On the Uber Eats menus of the 2 Starbucks stores we checked that list it, the Pistachio Cortado started at about $6.15 for a Short (8 fl oz).
