2026 ingredient check: Sugar Cookie syrup and Toasted White Mocha are the pieces that make the original recipe seasonal. We can still build a creamy vanilla-cookie-ish cold brew with current ingredients, but it will not taste exactly like the old Sugar Cookie version.
How to order the closest version with current Starbucks ingredients
Start with a Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Add 1 pump of White Chocolate Mocha sauce if your store offers it as a customization. Keep the vanilla sweet cream on top.
What it tastes like: vanilla + white chocolate gives this a soft bakery sweetness, but without Sugar Cookie syrup it is a closest-current version, not the original flavor.
If Sugar Cookie returns for the holidays, switch back to the original recipe below. We are tracking that in our Holiday Drinks 2026 guide.
Starbucks recently launched their Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte and it so SO good! If you haven’t tried it yet, you totally need to!
So, of course, I had to take this amazing flavor and make a cold brew drink with it! How could I not!?
This Sugar Cookie Cold Brew is one of my new favorites. It is SO good! Just the perfect level of sweetness and caffeine!
But, as usual, this is my persona recipe, so you can’t just go to Starbucks asking for the ‘Sugar Cookie Cold Brew’! You’ll need my personal recipe card below!
How To Order The Sugar Cookie Cold Brew
Start by ordering a Venti Cold Brew.
Ask for three pumps of the toasted white mocha sauce and three pumps of the new sugar cookie syrup!
Ask for vanilla sweet cream cold foam with an extra pump of the sugar cookie flavor, and add holiday sprinkles on top and you are good to go!
