I tried drinking 'Ginger Ale Cloud' with ginger ale covered with a cloud of coffee shaken like a cocktail at Starbucks



From Starbucks, Ginger Ale Cloud, an iced coffee made from cold brew coffee slowly extracted with water without heat and fresh ginger ale, is on the market from April 10, 2019. If you order 'Ginger's Ale Cloud' from 'Starbucks Reserve', which only deals with rare coffee that Starbucks recommends especially, the barista will shake the shaker in front of you and pour the frothy coffee into Ginger Ale. So I actually went to the Starbucks store and checked.

Arrive at 'STARBUCKS RESERVE BAR'. Ginger Ale Cloud is a limited edition of Starbucks Reserve Bar, which offers a variety of extraction methods to enjoy rare and unique coffee carefully selected by Starbucks.



While waiting in line, the clerk gave me the menu on hand. When you arrive at the cashier, order a new coffee.



What makes coffee at the Starbucks Reserve Bar is the 'Black Apron Varistor' that has passed a special exam held annually at Starbucks. As the name suggests, he wears a black chic apron and is different from a regular Starbucks clerk wearing a green apron.



If you order 'Ginger's Ale Cloud', you can have them show you how to make them in front of you. Barista first pours ginger ale, placing the iced glass on a scale and carefully.



Ginger ale is half of the glass, just around the line.



Next, put ingredients such as ice and coffee in a shaker ...



Shake with quick touch.



Pour the frothy coffee into a glass and lightly steer it.



This is 'Ginger ale cloud' (tax-included 864 yen).



The “Ginger ale cloud” in the vertical glass is a very clear amber color. When viewed from the side, you can see a layer of foam floating above the coffee like a cloud.



It looks like this when comparing the glass and the iPhone XR with a long side of about 15 cm.



I also got a card that describes the coffee used for 'ginger ale cloud' in the set. According to the card, the coffee beans used this time are the coffee beans of the

blend of ' micro blend No. 11 '. This name comes from the fact that coffee beans from Ethiopia and Guatemala are tasted many times while changing the blending ratio and depth of roasting, and finally found after 11 trials and errors.



When I drank it a little with a straw, the mouth was quite ginger ale-like, and I felt a refreshing sweetness with the stimulation of a very light carbonic acid and the distinctive and refreshing spicy taste of ginger.



The first impression is, honestly, 'a ginger ale that smells of coffee somehow' so I had a difficult face, from the barista 'the bubbles of coffee floating above, including air like hot coffee' I was advised that the taste of coffee will increase. So when I drank the glass and drank, the presence of coffee certainly improved. From the 'cloud' of coffee, I could taste the sweet smell of cinnamon with a hint of aftertaste, along with sweet and sour like chocolate-rich and berry jam.



Ginger Ale Cloud is a refreshing, sweet, sweet, iced drink that takes advantage of the crisp taste that is characteristic of cold brew coffee that has been carefully extracted with water. It is good to enjoy ginger ale that is fragrant plus coffee with a straw that will be handed over with the glass, but since you are using coffee beans that Starbucks has carefully pulled out, at least the first bite is in the glass It is recommended to add a mouth and enjoy the bubbles of coffee.



“Ginger's Ale Cloud” has been sold at stores offering “Starbucks Reserve Bar” from April 10, 2019. The price is 864 yen including tax. You can check which stores are offering “Starbucks Reserve Bar” on the official site .
