Starbucks Trenta Drinks (What Starbucks drinks are available in the Trenta cup size + More Information)
Starbucks drinks come in different sizes, mainly based on the sort of drink being served, and whether or not it is served hot. Each cup size comes with a different capacity. So, what is a trenta at Starbucks?
A trenta is the largest cup size of all Starbucks cups. It has a capacity of a whopping 30 ounces, making it quite large and ideal for iced drinks. The cup gets its name from the Italian word for 30 which is trenta.
I have always loved the feel of a cold drink in the heart of summer, especially after having a long run. Being that I am a big fan of Starbucks iced coffees and refreshers, I decided to take a trenta acai refresher once because I could not get enough. Since then, I have been experimenting with many other drinks in a trenta cup for something of a ‘full’ experience.
