SEATTLE - Starbucks is ushering in the warm weather months by adding two new cold drinks to its 2023 summer menu.
The coffee giant unveiled a new Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino and a White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, now available on store menus nationwide. A new whole bean packaged coffee, called Starbucks Green Apron Blend, and a Bumblebee Cake Pop are also new in stores.
Starbucks said the new Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino features Starbucks Frappuccino roast coffee blended with chocolate, mint flavors and Frappuccino chips. The beverage is finished with a layer of mocha sauce, whipped cream, and a chocolate cookie mint sprinkle topping.
"The new white chocolate mint sauce is subtle and creamy, and when paired with the crunch of Frappuccino chips and a swirl of rich mocha, is reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream poolside on a warm summer day," Maureen Matthews with Starbucks’ beverage development team said in a statement.
