Essentially, Starbucks Reserve is an upscale version of the beloved coffee shop and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. For starters, the place is huge and offers cocktails (anyone traveling with their in-laws? you’re welcome).

For a limited time, Starbucks Reserve will offer a selection of artisanal foods and drinks with holiday flavors, including a peppermint mocha, Oleato Whiskey Barrel-Aged cold brew, and a peppermint mocha Espresso Martini.
