NEW YORK — Starbucks has added a new "core" drink to its menu: the latte macchiato.

It went on sale on Tuesday. It has milk and espresso and is part of the espresso family -- doppio espresso, cappuccino, caffé latte, etc.

Listen to Starbucks describe it: The latte macchiato is made of whole milk "perfectly aerated and free-poured creating dense foam reminiscent of meringue."

Oh, and of course it contains "slowly-poured full espresso shots."

We watched our barista prepare it for us early Tuesday before sunrise: She started with the heated milk and then added the espresso shots. The order is key: milk first, then espresso. It tasted like a latte with a little more espresso in it.

Got it? Good.

The latte macchiato will be available in the United States, Canada and most of Latin America.
