Starbucks unveils new range of Summer Refreshers in US

The summer 2024 menu also sees the return of the White Chocolate Macadamia Cold Brew, topped with a special cold foam and cookie crumbles.

Starbucks has announced the introduction of its new Summer Refreshers beverage range in the US, offering fruity options for the summer season.

The lineup features three new drinks that combine raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavours with raspberry-flavoured popping pearls.

The Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers Beverage is also available, merging the fruity blend with lemonade and served over the same popping pearls.

Starbucks is catering to non-dairy preferences with the Summer Skies Drink, which pairs the Summer-Berry Refreshers with coconut milk and the new popping pearls.

The summer menu also sees the return of the White Chocolate Macadamia Cold Brew, a rich blend topped with a special cold foam and cookie crumbles.

Complementing the beverage offerings are two new food items: the Orange Cream Cake Pop, which combines orange cream cake and buttercream with white chocolate icing, and the Pineapple Cloud Cake, a light cake with layers of pineapple cream and fruit pieces.

Starbucks is launching a summer drinkware collection, which includes an exclusive Stanley x Starbucks Quencher.

The company will also introduce new promotions through the Starbucks app.

Last month, Starbucks introduced its new summer beverage lineup in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The lineup featured Retro Pink Frappuccino, Iced Retro Pink Starbucks Matcha and a variety of lemonade-based drinks.

Retro Pink Frappuccino is a blend of cold milk, vanilla syrup and a Frappuccino base with frozen red dragon fruit pieces, topped with vanilla whipped cream.
