Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte – An exact replica of Starbucks’ deliciously sweet, warm and comforting Cinnamon Dolce Latte.
Hi friends!! Happiest of Fridays!
What’s on the agenda for tonight? Dinner? Movies? Getting plastered??
I was once in Australia and I said something along the lines of, “Maaaan, I am SO pissed!”. And one of the Aussies goes, “Already?! We just got here! You’ve only had half a drink!!”. Then I made that face. You know the one. You look all confused and your eyes pop out of your head and all you want to say is, “Um, whaaaat?” (in the voice of Leslie Mann on Big Daddy.)
Apparently “pissed” in Aussie-terms means plastered. Or drunk. Wasted! Hammered? Trashed!? Got more?
Obviously, this has nothing to do with Cinnamon Dolce Latte since alcohol is out of the recipe equation, buuuut if you’re looking to get your Friday freak-ON with coffee AND booze, take a sip of this Authentic Irish Coffee – that is some goooood stuff!
Starbucks is like a whole country away from my house. It takes a bit over 20 minutes to get to it, mostly because of the trillion stop-lights that you have to get past. Which, by the way, I LOVE it when I catch them all on GREEN!! I always feel SO accomplished when I just buzz right through them all!
…can’t believe that’s what gets me excited these days…
Anywho!
So to avoid all the red lights, and to get my Starbucks-fix, many a times I will just go into mah kitchen and prepare mahself a good ole Cinnamon Dolce Latte! OR a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
And while on the subject… that’s LAH-TAY! Last time I was at Starbucks, I overheard a customer ask for a Pumpkin Spice LATE! As in, I’m going to be LATE to the movies… She said LATE. All serious and stuff… 😀
Don’t you just want to go ahead and cradle that mug? Like right now!? If you hop into your kitchen right this second, it will be in your hands in about 4.3 minutes.
Ready? Steady. GO!
ENJOY!

I found a large bottle of the skinny cinnamon dolce syrup; sugar free version at my grocery.
Do you have a sugar free or less sugar version of the recipe?
Hi!
I don’t have a sugar free version of this, but you can control the amount of sugar you add in. You can also use a sweetener – stir in a little bit, taste it, and see how much more you may want to add.
I was so excited to find this! It’s perfect and easy to make. Thank you!
I rarely go to Starbucks for lattes but this one, since I can just make at home without spending too much, and because I read cinnamon on it, I would most probably include it in my weekend to-do list. I bake during weekends, but I can slip this simple recipe while waiting for my goods to bake. Thank you so much for this recipe, Katerina!
