Starbucks brought us many new and different drinks this year. However, it may amaze you to see how well they rated.

The Best And Worst Starbucks Drinks Of The Year Include:

1 Best: Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato

The Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato, which is made of Starbucks's white mocha sauce, chilled coconut milk, ice, and espresso and topped with both caramel and mocha sauce.

2 Best: Bottled Cold Brew

Starbucks's cold brew has become an instant favorite.

3 Best: Rainbow Drinks

This is the year of rainbow everything, including Starbucks drinks.   Worth it for more than just the colorful Instagram photo, these rainbow drinks offer a more unique way to get your caffeine fix and branch out of your comfort zone.

4 Best: Pink Drink

The best rainbow drink is hands down the pink drink. It lived up to the claims that it tastes like a pink Starburst, and our tasters couldn't get enough of the tartness and sweetness.
5 Best: Shaked Iced Berry Sangria Tea

If only Starbucks Shaken Iced Berry Sangria Tea could become a year-round menu item at all locations. While there's no actual wine in the sangria-inspired drink, the berry tea is just as refreshing.

6 Best: Mini Frappuccinos
These 10-ounce cups filled with your favorite Frappuccino flavor make for the best way to get a caffeine fix and sugar rush if you're not in the mood for a whole drink.

7 Best: Cherry Blossom Frappuccino

The Cherry Blossom Frappuccino had no cherries at all. The springtime beverage, which was available for about a week, was a strawberries and cream Frappuccino with white chocolate sauce, matcha drizzle, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of matcha powder on top.

8 Best: Granitas

It's been a good year for iced Starbucks drinks, and the limited-edition Starbucks granitas are at the top of the list. Each of the three flavors  offers a refreshing take on shaved ice.
9 Best: Nitro Cold Brew

Starbucks introduced cold brew to its menu a couple years ago, but this year it took it to the next level with Nitro Cold Brew.

10 Best: Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. A handcrafted, vanilla-infused cream is poured over Starbucks's signature cold brew, creating not only an eye-catching drink but also a supersweet and satisfying one.

11 Meh: Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino

The most disappointing part of this Waffle Cone Frappuccino is that the star gets totally soggy in a matter of minutes on top of the whipped cream.

12 Meh: Smoked Butterscotch Latte

Harry Potter fans couldn't wait to try the Smoked Butterscotch Latte, but it didn't quite live up to expectations.

13 Meh: Trifles

We were a little disheartened to learn that Starbucks's new trifles were essentially leftover pastries in disguise.

14 Meh: Affogato-Style Frappuccinos

A classic Italian affogato is a shot of espresso poured over vanilla gelato, and while Starbucks did not release gelato , it did create affogato-style Frappuccinos.

15 Worst: Purple Drink

It didn't take long for the battle of the pink vs. purple drink to begin, and the former beat out the latter by a landslide. The purple drink is made with soy milk rather than coconut milk, which creates an unpleasantly chalky aftertaste.

Finished!

This list of the best and worst Starbucks drinks may make you want to order some of your favorites over again. Which Starbucks drinks have you tried this year?
