What Is the Starbucks Iced Gingerbread Latte?
Starbucks Blonde Espresso pulled with gingerbread flavored syrup, poured over ice with oatmilk, then topped with a spiced cookie crumble and a drizzle of molasses. The drink delivers the full gingerbread cookie experience — warm spices of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg — in a refreshing iced format. The molasses drizzle adds depth and a touch of bitterness that balances the sweetness.
It sits on the Cold Coffee menu as the iced version of the Gingerbread Latte, part of the holiday lineup alongside the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte and Iced Peppermint Mocha.

Flavor Profile and Taste Review
If you snapped a gingerbread cookie in half and dunked it into iced coffee, you would be close. The gingerbread syrup delivers warm, baking-spice flavors — ginger with cinnamon and nutmeg backing it up. The oatmilk adds a natural creaminess and slight oat sweetness that feels right at home with gingerbread spice. The real magic is the molasses drizzle: it adds a dark, slightly bitter depth that keeps the drink from being one-dimensionally sweet. The cookie crumble on top gives little bursts of spiced crunch as you sip.
Who Will Love It
- Gingerbread cookie fans who want that flavor in coffee form
- Holiday baking spice lovers (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg)
- Oatmilk drinkers (it is the default, no need to customize)
- People who appreciate complex, layered flavors (molasses adds depth)
Who Might Not Like It
- People who dislike ginger or strong baking spices
- Customers who prefer simple, clean-flavored lattes
- Those with wheat allergies (cookie crumble contains wheat)
- Anyone who finds molasses too bitter or intense

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Iced Gingerbread Latte seasonal?
Yes. It launches in early November with the Starbucks holiday menu and stays available through early January or until gingerbread syrup runs out at your location.
Is the Iced Gingerbread Latte dairy-free?
Yes. The default build uses oatmilk and the toppings are dairy-free. Fully plant-based in the standard build.
What does the molasses drizzle taste like?
It is a dark, slightly bitter-sweet syrup with deep caramel and treacle notes. It adds complexity and keeps the gingerbread flavor from being one-note sweet. Think of the dark, sticky bottom of a gingerbread cookie.
Can I get the Gingerbread Latte without the cookie crumble?
Yes. Just ask for no cookie crumble. This also removes the wheat allergen if that is a concern. The drink still has the gingerbread syrup and molasses drizzle for full flavor.
Is the Iced Gingerbread Latte the same as the hot Gingerbread Latte?
Same syrup and espresso, but the iced version uses cold oatmilk over ice instead of steamed. The hot version has a slightly richer, more aromatic gingerbread experience because heat amplifies the spice notes.
