New Summer Drinks:
- Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers Beverage: A mix of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors combined with ice and topped with raspberry flavored popping pearls.
- Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers Beverage: This variant mixes the summer berry blend with lemonade and is finished with the same raspberry-flavored pearls.
- Summer Skies Drink: This non-dairy option features summer berry mix with a creamy coconut base. It is served over ice and enhanced with raspberry-flavored pearls.
Simon Vuong, a Starbucks beverage developer, mentioned the inspiration for these drinks stemmed from typical summer activities such as pool parties and barbecues. The team aimed to capture the essence of summer with a visually appealing blue hue and a berry blend reminiscent of the season’s best moments.
The summer menu also includes the introduction of the Pineapple Cloud Cake, a new dessert with layers of pineapple cream and fruit pieces topped with a sweet drizzle.
The drinks are introduced with a wider, green, compostable straw, ideal for the new popping pearls.
Alongside the drinks, Starbucks is bringing back the White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, a popular choice topped with white chocolate cream and cookie crumbles.
Starbucks announced a shift in its iced coffee service, now offering it unsweetened with an option for customization. The coffee, brewed from Latin American beans, notes malted chocolate and brown sugar flavours.
These seasonal offerings are available for a limited time while supplies last. They aim to bring a burst of fruity flavours to Starbucks’ summer experience.
