What is the Difference Between Starbucks Sauces and Syrups?

This article examines the Starbucks syrups & sauce range and how they use these to enhance their artisan drinks.
What does Starbucks use syrups and sauces for?
Starbucks uses syrups and sauces to add flavour, texture, sweetness, complexity, and richness to its beverages.
Sauces are thicker and more viscous than the other two ingredients, while syrups are clearer & thinner.
Sauces are a great way to add flavour and body into a drink. They’re best used in hot drinks as they blend well and spread evenly.
Syrups are suitable for hot, cold and iced beverages. Syrups are fluider and more versatile. Base builds are where syrups cloud at the base of drinks and then move slowly upwards. Sauces stick to cold drinks and don’t flow.
Sauces are often used as decoration and accompaniments (e.g. a drizzle) while syrups are used to enhance the flavour profile.
