How many pumps of syrup are added to a Venti iced coffee?

In a Venti iced coffee, 6 pumps of syrup are typically added. This quantity is part of the standard recipe used by Starbucks to ensure consistency and flavor balance in beverages. A Venti iced coffee is generally 24 fluid ounces, and the standard practice is to add 4 pumps of syrup for a Tall (12 ounces) and 5 pumps for a Grande (16 ounces). The increase to 6 pumps for the Venti size accommodates the larger volume and ensures that the sweetness is proportional to the drink.

Understanding the importance of these measurements helps baristas deliver a product that meets customer expectations regarding sweetness and flavor intensity in a larger serving.
