Summer: Tall Light Caramel Frappuccino

Rachel Du Mont, a senior next year at Tesoro High School in Rancho Santa Margarita CA, has a Starbucks drink for every season.

Summer: Light Caramel Fappuccino

Fall: Pumpkin Spice Latte

Winter: Cinnamon Dolce

Spring: White Chocolate Mocha

Although she sometimes likes to break from these four and try new things like the Mocha Coconut Frappuccino.

Rachel’s coffee consumption peaks in the summer when she goes to grab her favorite drink at Starbucks three to four times per week.

One of her coffee rituals is her Wednesday mornings during the school year when friends gather for breakfast before school on late start Wednesday.

She got an early start to the coffee drinking club, beginning at age 11.  At first she drank decaf but after her first fully caffeinated coffee in that same year, there was no going back. “It’s just not the same ummph,” said Du Mont. Some joke that this is the reason for her below average height.

Rachel shared that she loves the feel of old fashioned coffee shops and really appreciates that Starbucks tries to incorporate this feel in their design.
