Not at Starbucks today but at Uncommon Grounds, a favorite local spot in Albany. I ordered a half fair-trade-organic (FTO), half decaf-du-jour drip with a splash of cherry flavor. Part of me was curious if a coffee and cherry combo would border on cough syrup. It was surprisingly pretty good. I see that I should have been more open-minded all along. There is some irony in that statement.
The modest degree of cherry was just enough to be detected without hammering the tongue. I think the cherry fruitiness accentuated the subtle fruity notes of the coffee. No, really, I mean that.
There are more syrup flavors at this place than at Starbucks so I will take advantage of that later on.
