The winner and undisputed champion...

I tried the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha this afternoon, and I write to you having now PROVEN that the peppermint mocha is the best holiday drink at Starbucks. I will not be argued away from this conclusion; I will not have my mind changed. Now it's just a fact.

And the best thing about having realized and proven this to myself is that now I can order and enjoy my peppermint mocha with no guilt and secure in the knowledge that I'm drinking the best drink available to me.

Not sure when I'll pull the trigger and get my peppermint mocha to cleanse my palate of the other drinks, but I suspect it will be soon. Drink security until they come up with something else next year.
