Starbucks has officially welcomed summer with the launch of new seasonal offerings that are already generating excitement among fans. On Tuesday, May 20, the coffee chain unveiled a variety of beverages and food items that promise to refresh and delight customers during the warmer months.
A highlight of the new menu is the Summer-Berry Refreshers, which feature a delightful combination of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors, served chilled over Raspberry Flavored Pearls. For those looking to mix things up, the Summer-Berry Refresher can be enjoyed with lemonade as the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher or blended with creamy coconut milk in the Summer Skies Drink. This release has sparked enthusiastic responses on social media, with fans declaring it “the best drink of all time.”
In addition to the beloved Summer-Berry Refreshers, Starbucks has introduced an Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, inspired by the warm, nostalgic flavors of traditional horchata. Brand Manager Ricky Gonzalez shared that horchata has personal significance for him, recalling family meals at Mexican restaurants during his childhood. The collaboration with Simon Vuong and the beverage development team has made this delightful Latin American beverage a reality at Starbucks.
Moreover, the menu features a Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, a treat designed to resemble a cute strawberry, blending a strawberry and buttercream cake center dipped in chocolate. This item reflects the popular summer motif for 2025, marking a fun addition to the seasonal lineup.
Starbucks is also encouraging customers to enhance their summer experience with beautiful new drink vessels in collaboration with FARM Rio, adding a touch of vibrant summer cheer to any coffee or tea break.
Summer at Starbucks is sure to be a delightful period filled with refreshing drinks and sweet treats that celebrate seasonal flavors and fond memories.
