what is a venti at starbucks

A Venti at Starbucks is a size option for their drinks, which means "twenty" in Italian. It is equivalent to a large in "standard" sizing and is available for both hot and cold drinks. A Venti hot drink is 20 ounces, while a Venti cold drink is slightly larger at 24 ounces. Surprisingly, a Venti hot drink has the same amount of espresso as a Grande, which is 16 ounces. The extra volume in a Venti is mostly milk and syrup.
