Starbucks is getting a jump start on this year’s warmer months, introducing two new summer beverages that will be available in U.S. stores for a limited time starting on Tuesday.
The new menu additions are the Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino blended beverage and White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew.
The new Frappuccino is a blend of coffee, chocolate, mint, and Frappuccino chips, topped with mocha sauce, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of mint-chocolate cookie crumble, the coffee shop chain says.
“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,” Maureen Matthews of Starbucks beverage development team, said in a press release.
“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.”
The White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, meanwhile, features Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with macadamia syrup and finished off with a white chocolate macadamia cream cold foam and 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.”
Starbucks also announced a new variety of whole-bean packaged coffee on Tuesday — the Starbucks Green Apron Blend, developed in collaboration with more than 24,000 Starbucks baristas — and a new cake pop — the Bumblebee Cake Pop, with yellow cake and chocolaty icing.
