How many shots of espresso are used in a Tall Eggnog Latte?

A Tall Eggnog Latte contains 1 shot of espresso. This is a standard method that Starbucks uses for their tall-sized hot espresso beverages. The use of 1 shot offers a balance between the flavor of the espresso and the richness of the eggnog, allowing the drink to maintain its creamy texture and festive taste without being overly strong. The drink also includes steamed eggnog and is typically topped with nutmeg, which further enhances the holiday flavor profile.

In the context of espresso-based drinks at Starbucks, the number of shots tends to increase with the size of the drink; for example, a grande size would contain 2 shots and a venti would typically have 2 or 3, depending on whether it's hot or iced. Therefore, for a tall Eggnog Latte, using just 1 shot is the correct preparation method.
