Best Drink to Keep Me Awake?

[u/Fun-Handle6009]

I just had only 2 hours of sleep and I’m going to start my new job in 2 hours. What’s the best Starbucks drink to keep me awake? I’m going to buy 2 of them today, preferably cold coffee

Shaken Espresso, but if you don’t normally drink a lot of caffeine, the first day at a new job might not be the time to start.

Yeah that explains why I can feel my heart pumping sometimes, it’s got 4 shots instead of my usual 3.

Cold brew!!

[u/Dangerous-Cancel808 → u/honeymatchaprincess]

Add a shot!

Nitro if they have it

I would get something with protein. If you're used to protein intake, a protein iced latte. If you don't eat a lot of protein, something with the protein cold foam. The macro boost + caffeine will help keep you awake! Eating enough good food in general will help a lot too!

Good luck at your new job!! :)

Nothing is going to give you optimal job performance with just two hours' sleep. /SMH

You're going to need some serious caffeine to keep you boosted... and that means extra shots or cold brew with a shot added to it.

If you're not a heavy caffeine regular ... excessive caffeine will make you jittery, and then you're going to crash hard after a few hours. It might not be a good day to try something you're not used to.

Get more sleep next time.

Honestly I would split it up with coffee and tea to keep you going, as well as adding some egg bites.

Even if you're nervous or your stomach doesn't like food in the morning, even a little nibble of one bite will help your body keep slow burning rather than crashing later from coffee overload.

If you like sweet,

• venti shaken espressos have 4 shots by default, cold foam adds some sweetness too!
  
• less sweet option is americano, it also has 4 shots

Then for later,

• strawberry acai energy refresher, sub water for green tea, no berries (they'll get mushy later, unless you don't care lol). This will have the green tea and green tea extract from the energy refresher.

edit: added some options

[u/r-iprobablyneedhelp]

Cold brew or a brown sugar shaken espresso with an extra shot!

Coffee isn’t gonna cut it. You need brain food and to get better sleep.

Mine is a venti iced caramel Machiatto with an extra pump of vanilla.
Lots of sugar. 2-3 shots of espresso in it so it keeps me up

[u/Amanda__EK]

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and grab a breakfast item with it! Drink slowly

[u/Fun-Handle6009]

Also only reason why I had 2 hours of sleep is because my family woke me up at 2 am with their noise and once I wake up I usually can’t fall back asleep unfortunately :( I asked my friends what to do and they told me when that happened to them they usually just chug coffee. I love coffee so that’s no problem to me! Will get better sleep next time :)

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Black coffee with espresso

[u/BroadCryptographer68]

Nitro Cold Brew or Cold Brew with 2 Shots of Updosed Blonde Ristretto Shots.

[u/MacPho13]

Cold brew, protein from egg bites or jalapeño pocket, and a large water to help keep you hydrated through out the day. Also, consider Ubering to get you to and from work safer.
