The new line uniquely combines the Starbucks Refreshers flavors our customers love with a swirl of strawberry puree and pieces of real fruit, giving customers a new way to enjoy summer moments.

“Since Starbucks Refreshers Beverages joined the menu in 2012, our customers and partners (baristas) have creatively customized their beverages, such as adding coconutmilk, lemonade or blending with ice,” said Matt Thornton, senior beverage developer at Starbucks. “Inspired by these customer and partner creations, we’re excited to bring the new Frozen Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers Beverages to the permanent menu this summer.”

As of 2021, Starbucks Refreshers® are the fastest growing beverage category at company-operated Starbucks stores in the US.

Three Frozen Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers® beverages will be available in Starbucks stores:

Summer has arrived at Starbucks! Starting Tuesday, May 9, customers can enjoy two new summer beverages – the Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino® blended beverage and White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew. Also, part of the summer menu is a new whole bean packaged coffee, Starbucks® Green Apron Blend™, which was co-created with over 24,000 Starbucks baristas and is available as brewed coffee and packaged coffee. To round out the menu, customers can enjoy the bite-sized Bumblebee Cake Pop.&nbsp;

New Starbucks Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino® Blended Beverage&nbsp;

The Starbucks<a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123759/iced" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino®</a> blended beverage features Starbucks® Frappuccino® roast coffee, sweet chocolate, and refreshing mint flavors with rich Frappuccino® chips blended into a cooler-than-cool treat. The beverage is finished with a layer of mocha sauce, whipped cream, and a chocolate cookie mint sprinkle topping.

“With the Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino®, we wanted to take a new approach to the classic combination of mint and chocolate to create a blended coffee beverage that elicits nostalgia for one of our favorite summer treats,” said Maureen Matthews of Starbucks beverage development team. “The new white chocolate mint sauce is subtle and creamy, and when paired with the crunch of Frappuccino® chips and a swirl of rich mocha, is reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream poolside on a warm summer day.”&nbsp;

Available starting May 9 in the U.S. for a limited time, while supplies last.&nbsp;

New Starbucks® White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew

Starbucks® <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2123758/iced" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew</a> combines the balanced and smooth taste of Starbucks® Cold Brew with a summer twist. This delightfully dreamy beverage is sweetened with macadamia syrup, topped with a white chocolate macadamia cream cold foam and finished with toasted cookie crumbles.

“When creating Starbucks® White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, we were inspired by memories of fresh macadamia nuts on tropical vacations and the distinct flavor of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies,” said Matt Thornton of Starbucks beverage development team. “The smooth flavor profile of Starbucks® Cold Brew combined with the nuttiness of macadamia flavor, creaminess of white chocolate flavored sauce in the cold foam, and salty cookie crumbs delivers the perfect balance of sweet and savory that customers love and offers a moment of summer fun with every sip.”&nbsp;

Available in the U.S. staring May 9 for a limited time, while supplies last.&nbsp;

Starbucks new summer Frappuccino blended beverage evokes a day at the fair, with delicious flavors of strawberries and whipped cream layered with blended coffee and ice, topped with crunchy funnel cake pieces dusted with powdered sugar.

When it comes to all-time favorite summertime memories, a day at the fair is always near the top of the list. It’s a kaleidoscope of the senses – from the colorful blur of the carnival rides to the clickety-clack of an old-fashioned roller coaster. And it’s time spent with family and friends.

That was the inspiration for Starbucks newest summer Frappuccino® blended beverage. Available starting May 11 at Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada, the Starbucks® Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino ® blended beverage joins Starbucks summers lineup of food, beverages and merchandise.

“We wanted to capture the joy of this time of year, and we thought about those simple pleasures that really encapsulate summer,” said Sara Bennett, senior product developer for Starbucks R&amp;D team. “That led us to state fairs and funnel cake – just wanting to channel that sense of carefree fun.”

core/media-text

The dessert gets its name from the funnel (or a squeeze bottle today) used to drizzle the batter into a fryer, creating a lacey web of fried dough that’s crispy and golden brown. There’s no wrong way to top a funnel cake, which are served with a variety of toppings like apple and cinnamon or maple syrup. But Bennett and the team settled on a strawberry and whipped cream version.

“I always love strawberries because they're so summery,” Bennett said. “You get the juicy taste of strawberry, the decadent whipped cream, the sweet and slightly savory dough, and then the powdered sugar. I feel that's a quintessential funnel cake.”

While the classic <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2122724/iced?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Ffrappuccino-blended-beverages%2Fcreme-frappuccino">Strawberry Crème Frappuccino®</a> blended beverage is coffee-free, the Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino® blended beverage is made with Frappuccino® Roast coffee. The recipe features coffee, milk and ice blended with funnel-cake flavored syrup and layered with strawberry puree and whipped cream. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of crunchy funnel cake pieces dusted with powdered sugar.

“I really hope that you feel like you’re just drinking a little sip of summer with this beverage,” Bennett said. “I really hope it brings a bright spot to your day.”
