This is a cortado: Starbuck’s new addition to its coffee lineup in 2025 | Ingredients, size and price
Named after the Basque classic style, the cortado is now a permanent fixture of Starbucks’ menu
Starbucks has introduced the cortado to its permanent espresso lineup in 2025, bringing a taste of Spanish coffee culture to its menu nationwide. This new beverage is a simple yet sophisticated espresso drink that perfectly balances rich espresso with steamed milk.
The cortado, derived from the Spanish verb “cortar” meaning “to cut,” is designed to soften the bold espresso flavor with a precise amount of milk.
Starbucks offers two distinct versions of this drink:
Classic Cortado
- Consists of three ristretto shots of Blonde Espresso
- Steamed whole milk (or milk of choice)
- Served hot in an 8-ounce size
- Price range: $4.45 to $5.45
Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado
- Three ristretto shots of Blonde Espresso
- Steamed oat milk
- Brown sugar syrup
- Finished with a dash of cinnamon
- Price range: $4.95 to $5.95
Starbucks uses ristretto shots, which are espresso shots pulled with less water, resulting in a more concentrated and sweeter flavor.
The cortado joins Starbucks’ classic espresso lineup and is available year-round across the United States and Canada.
