Starbucks adds three new Strato Frappuccino drinks to menu
Starbucks is giving its classic Frappuccino a modern twist for the blended beverage's 30th anniversary. Why it matters: The Seattle-based coffee giant is trying to return to its roots by simplifying its menu and reestablishing its cafes as community coffeehouses under the "Back to Starbucks" plan. In March, the company removed 13 longtime drinks as part of the strategy to cut the menu by roughly 30% by September. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol has said simplifying the menu will make way for innovation — such as adding new items like the Cherry Chai and the Cortado — and help reduce wait times. New Strato Frappuccino release date The big picture: Starbucks announced Monday that its new Strato Frappuccino beverages will be available in stores nationwide starting Tuesday for a limited time. The Strato lineup reimagines the blended drinks with cold foam layers. The name is inspired by the Italian word strato, meaning "layer."
