Starbucks Has Two New Summer Drinks On The Way

There’s been a lot going on at Starbucks recently – I mean, when is there not stuff going on at Starbucks? – but over the last month or so, we’ve been a bit more interested in what it’s been doing outside of its core menu. It has felt like the coffee chain has been, in a sense, working around its drinks, changing up its ordering process, and toying with AI. Although it has been putting out some new stuff amidst all of that, it’s been more focused on its summer merch drop and the potential return of its Bearista cups.

But at the end of the day, this is a beverage chain, and so it’s only a matter of time until it gives its customers something new to sip on. Come June 16, that’ll be its new duo of coconut drinks. Let’s check out what’s in store.

New Starbucks Summer Drinks

Starbucks recently revealed on its website that it’s dropping two new summer drinks next month, and both of them are centered around coconut flavors. Both of them are also visually striking, with vibrant shades of blue in the drinks. They’re a visual feast, folks.

“But what are these drinks?” I hear you shout from across the internet. Okay! Here they are:

Iced Blue Coconut Matcha: An iced matcha blended with notes of mango, and finished with a crown of toasted coconut cold foam. This cold foam is mixed with spirulina, which gives it a bright blue hue – and Starbucks says that the color “complements the drink’s tropical flavors.”
Blue Coconut Refresher: The second of Starbucks’ new drinks, and this one’s a fully blue affair. It also sounds, appropriately for its name, very refreshing: Coconut, strawberry, and açaí flavors are mixed with ice and spirulina, for a drink that both looks and feels cooling.

And Can I Customize These Drinks?

Oh, you bet you can customize these drinks. Starbucks states that you can mix ‘em up by asking for them with lemonade or coconut milk. You can also tweak the caffeine levels to your own preferences, and add in some extra B vitamins if you so choose.

And They’re Available June 16, Right?

Yep. June 16, and we would presume that they’ll be available in stores nationwide. These drinks scream “limited time,” though (although Starbucks doesn’t explicitly mention whether they are or not), so we wouldn’t wait too long before you try them. It’s only a few weeks away, people!
