Starbucks is introducing three new Starbucks Reserve Signature Experiences – “Art of the Espresso Martini,” “Oleato Tasting Experience” and “Coffee Lab: A Journey of the Senses” – at its Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in Chicago, Seattle and New York to give visitors the opportunity to explore the craft, theater and innovation of Starbucks Reserve coffee.

During the 30-60 minute small-group classes, Starbucks baristas and mixologists will guide participants through the latest innovations in coffee brewing as well as mixology skills and tastings. Customers can purchase a ticket for a Signature Experience online.

The new Starbucks Reserve Signature Experiences include:

Art of the Espresso Martini

Participants will learn to craft the signature Starbucks Reserve Espresso Martini alongside Starbucks expert mixologists and enjoy their own globally-inspired espresso martini flight, paired with Princi bites. Limited tickets are available daily at select times for this 60-minute experience. Cost: $95/person. Limited to customers 21 and above.

Oleato Tasting Experience

This class is led by a Starbucks barista who guides participants through a multi-sensory experience that showcases the alchemy of aroma, flavor and texture unique to Oleato beverages.
