The new menu features fresh drinks with tropical flavors and returning summer fan favorites.
Washington—— Starbucks summer menu Available this week, it offers seasonal tropical and horchata-inspired drinks.
The new seasonal menu will launch on Tuesday, May 12, at Starbucks stores across the country. The centerpiece of this summer’s launch is Tropical Butterfly Refresher, a new beverage that blends passion fruit and guava flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. The drink gets its unique purple color from butterfly pea flower infusion, which Starbucks says makes the drink “both beautiful and delicious.”
The cafe chain said the Tropical Butterfly Refresher can be customized with lemonade or coconut milk and your preferred caffeine content and B vitamins.
Horchata-flavored beverages are returning to Starbucks this summer, with menu items including Iced Horchata Shake Espresso and the new Horchata Frappuccino. The drinks draw on the flavor profile of Mexican-style horchata, incorporating notes of cinnamon, vanilla and toasted rice.
