vente

Parisian store transaction

Vente is a size designation at Starbucks, indicating twenty fluid ounces for hot drinks or twenty-four for cold.

The word is Italian for "twenty." Outside Starbucks, vente appears mainly in discussions of the chain's famously idiosyncratic sizing system: I'll have a vente iced coffee.
