What is Starbucks Venti Ristretto?
Starbucks Venti Ristretto is made with four ristretto espresso shots. Ristretto is extracted with less water than a standard espresso, giving you a concentrated coffee in a small volume rather than a long, diluted drink.
Expect a bold aroma and full-bodied taste, with the intensity of espresso; drink it straight or use it as the coffee base in a milk-based drink. In Starbucks cafés, it suits anyone who wants a strong coffee without a large drink to sip over a long stretch. Its nutritional profile is mainly that of brewed coffee, with very little fat. If you prefer a gentler taste, add milk; served straight, its concentrated character comes through most clearly.
