That precedent makes me wonder, will the Potion Macchiato receive the same praise?
So, I gave it a try.
Here are my thoughts.

Potion Macchiato
Themed drinks can be thrilling.
The Potion Macchiato may not be the way to go, though.
While it’s fun to look at, the taste is another story.

The marshmallow ube flavor falls flat, while the espresso is too robust.
This drink left my household dividedwhile I wasn’t a fan, my boyfriend felt differently.
I paid $5.19 for this small-sized iced coffee drink that I’m still on the fence about.
The look:Definitely cool.
I ordered both the iced and hot versions.
Shaking the drink is a whole other story.
By doing this, I not only altered the look of the drink but the taste as well.
The aftertaste was no better, lingering in my mouth for way too long.
Frustrated that my cool looking drink didn’t exactly taste good, I tried the hot version, too.
In other words: the balance was off in both iterations.
The Verdict
Okay, here’s the thing.
Moving forward, I’d be much more interested in trying the Spider Donut and Halloween sprinkle-covered Munchkins instead.
