On Tuesday, June 21, Starbucks added a radiant pop of color to the summer season. The newest refreshing beverages to join the chain’s seasonal menu include the bright and bold Pineapple Passionfruit and Paradise Drink Starbucks Refreshers beverages, alongside new food items.
“The Paradise Drink Starbucks Refreshers beverage is like sunshine in a cup – the bright tropical flavors are radiant, happy and joyful. It’s the perfect summer sip for a little moment of escape wherever you are,” says Raegan Powell, a senior product developer from Starbucks R&D who led the creation of the new drink.
The Starbucks summer menu includes:
- Pineapple Passionfruit Starbucks Refreshers beverage – Features tropical flavors of pineapple and passionfruit, hand shaken by Starbucks baristas with real diced pineapple pieces and ice to create a delicious island escape that is 100 calories for a Grande (16 fl oz). Customers can also order the beverage with lemonade for an extra burst of flavor
- Paradise Drink Starbucks Refreshers beverage – Adds coconutmilk to the Pineapple Passionfruit Starbucks Refreshers beverage for a creamy, dreamy, tropical sip that is 140 calories for a Grande (16 fl oz)
- Chicken, Maple Butter and Egg Sandwich – Features chicken, fluffy eggs and a maple butter spread on a toasted oat biscuit roll
- Cookies & Cream Cake Pop – Combines chocolate cake with creamy sandwich cookie buttercream and cookie bits, dipped in white chocolate coating and finished with dark chocolate cookie crumb
