Cold drinks at Starbucks are available all year round, but the end of April opens the season for their greatest popularity. As temperatures rise, guests are increasingly willing to choose lightness and freshness, and the brand offers a really wide selection.
The fruity flavor of summer plays the main role
This summer, Starbucks is focusing on caramelized banana, which gives the drinks a dessert-like and light character. Iced Caramelised Banana Flavor Latte combines Starbucks Blonde® Espresso Roast, milk and caramelized banana flavored sauce, topped with a silky flavored foam. The item is also available in a warm version – for those who still need to warm up. Iced Caramelised Banana Flavor Oat Shaken Espresso is a creamy coffee composition, while Iced Caramelised Banana Flavor Matcha Latte is a tropical twist based on green tea, in which its characteristic taste meets the fruity note of banana.
“This summer, we wanted to invite guests to the world of flavors that evoke memories and surprise at the same time. Caramelized banana is a touch of nostalgia in a modern version – it goes perfectly with both intense espresso and delicate matcha, creating a creamy, clearly summer range of drinks, perfect for long, sunny days,” says Olga Wettler, Starbucks Communication & PR Manager CE.
A unique taste for coffee lovers
Starbucks’ offer also includes proposals for lovers of intense, expressive aromas. Ristretto Mocha is a combination of ristretto shots based on Starbucks® Signature Espresso Roast with mocha sauce, complemented with hot, velvety milk and cocoa sprinkles – served in a smaller cup that provides a distinct coffee accent to start the day well. Brown Sugar Long Black, in turn, combines ristretto shots with brown sugar syrup and hot water, creating a balanced, stimulating composition with a slightly sweet profile.
Complete refreshment
Starbucks, in addition to banana twists, introduces new fruit products to its cafes that add even more color!
For those who want a bubbly stimulation, Starbucks has prepared Sparkling Very Berry Espresso Tonic, a combination of sparkling forest fruit-flavored tonic with the characteristic Starbucks® Signature Espresso and pieces of freeze-dried strawberries. The seasonal offerings also include refreshed Frappuccino®, distinguished by their creamy consistency and layered flavors. Strawberry Matcha Cloud Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is a distinctive combination of matcha tea, vanilla-flavored syrup, milk and ice, complemented with a layer of creamy foam with the flavor of juicy strawberries. In turn, Caramel Mocha Cloud Frappuccino® Blended Beverage combines rich notes of chocolate and caramel – it is prepared with Frappuccino® Roast coffee, mocha sauce, milk and ice, and the whole thing is topped with fluffy foam and caramel-flavored sauce.
In turn, fans of the iconic Starbucks Refresha® drink will be pleased with a new product in the summer season – Cherry & Pomegranate Starbucks Refresha® drink full of expressive, sweet notes of cherry and pomegranate, mixed with ice and slices of freeze-dried cherries, creating a perfect combination for warm days.
But that’s not all – for the first time, Starbucks has prepared a blend created especially for cold coffees. Starbucks® Iced Coffee Blend with a delicate profile, with noticeable notes of milk chocolate and the sweetness of brown sugar, is a new blend of beans from Latin America. It has been developed to taste great when served cold.
Sweet pleasures
Starbucks has prepared not only a variety of drinks for its guests, but also snacks that perfectly fit the holiday atmosphere. The proposals included, among others: gluten-free oat bar with caramel, colorful Mermaid Jelly Beans and Meteorite Jelly Bean, as well as an impressive Summer Cake. Dessert lovers can choose Mini cheesecakes in banana-caramel and coconut-pineapple flavors, as well as Raspberry Cake or Strawberry-Lemon Bun – light, seasonal propositions created with summer pleasures in mind.
