Summer’s not here yet, but Starbucks is already releasing new items to celebrate the season. Find out what’s new on their menu. The coffee chain has launched a brand new line of beverages to help customers stay cool. This season’s menu features refreshing creations that highlight delicious ingredients like berries, coconuts, and lemons. One coffee beverage has also made a comeback for this year, the details of which we’ll get into in our article below.
Check out the lineup of Starbucks’ summer drinks
There are three new Starbucks Refresher Beverages this year. They come in different flavours and have raspberry-flavoured pearls in them.
“We have never had a blue beverage, but when we first created the recipe, the colour really captured the feeling we were going for – reminiscent of long, summer days and bright skies for everyone to enjoy,” Simon Vuong, beverage developer for Starbucks, said in a press release statement.
Here are the three beverages:
- Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers Beverage: A blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavours shaken with ice.
- Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers Beverage: A mix of Summer Berry Refreshers shaken with ice and lemonade.
- Summer Skies Drink: The non-diary beverage has Summer-Berry Refreshers, with creamy coconut milk poured over ice.
All three drinks are also poured over a layer of raspberry pearls. This was inspired by East Asian beverages like bubble tea which have pearls in them. “It’s very fun the way it delivers the flavour when it pops in your mouth,” Vuong also said in the statement.
Along with these new beverages, there’s also one that’s making a return; the White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew. It has the Starbucks Cold Brew blended with macadamia syrup and topped with white chocolate macadamia cream cold foam and toasted cookie crumbles.
For a snack, you can have the new Pineapple Cloud Cake, which has layers of pineapple cream, pineapple spread, and whole fruit pieces.
