What's in a Nitro Cold Brew
Per Starbucks, the only listed ingredient is brewed coffee. Starbucks infuses its cold brew with nitrogen for a smooth texture and a cascading crema. It is sold in Tall and Grande only. Size details are in our Starbucks cup sizes guide.
Milk and customization swaps
Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.
| Swap | Effect on calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Add a splash of milk | Adds a few calories | Keeps it light |
| Add vanilla sweet cream | Adds calories, fat and sugar | Starbucks sells this as Vanilla Sweet Cream Nitro Cold Brew |
| Add Classic or another syrup | Adds calories and sugar | Each pump adds sugar (estimate below) |
| Sugar-free vanilla syrup | Adds almost no calories | Sweet without sugar |
Syrup pumps and calories
Nitro Cold Brew has no syrup by default. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.
Lower-calorie ways to order
- Order it as it comes: 5 calories for a Grande.
- Use a splash of milk rather than sweet cream.
- If you want it sweet, try sugar-free vanilla.
- See more light options in our Starbucks drinks under 100 calories guide.
