I got a little excited when I heard last week that Starbucks would now have a sugar-free mocha syrup. You can now order a non-fat no-whip sugar free mocha just as a “Skinny Mocha”, which frankly saves a lot of verbiage that the baristas have to hear over the noise of the store. Unfortunately their sugar-free mocha syrup tastes icky to me. Even putting in my usually cinnamon doesn’t mask the aftertaste. I’m not sure what sweetener they’re using. It doesn’t taste like Splenda to me. I think I’ll stick to plain old hot tea and a mocha with regular syrup occasionally.
