Starbucks to introduce 4 new Frappuccino beverages in July: Here's a sneak peek
Starbucks to introduce 4 new Frappuccino beverages in July: Here's a sneak peek Show Caption Hide Caption Starbucks workers at roughly 100 locations strike over new dress code Over 1,200 Starbucks workers went on strike over a newly enforced dress code. They say the company should provide stipends to pay for new clothes. June is almost here, which means the official beginning of summer is on the horizon. Starbucks will be introducing four new Frappuccino beverages in July, but this week offered USA TODAY a sneak peek at the flavors. The flavors will include: Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino Firework Frappuccino The first three flavors listed are blended beverages layered with cold foam, according to a Starbucks spokesperson, while the Firework Frappuccino is a "festive twist" on the Summer-Berry Refresher. Starbucks has not yet given a specific release date for the beverages, however the Firework Frappuccino is expected to arrive "just in time for the 4th of July," according to Starbucks. These new drink offerings come as the coffee chain cut several Frappuccinos and other drinks from its menu back in March. Starbucks summer menu available now The coffee chain announced its summer menu earlier this month, with the items available nationwide beginning May 20. The summer menu features a new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and returns fan-favorite Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers and a new Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop. The Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features Starbucks Blonde Espresso paired with oatmilk and an horchata flavored syrup, which is a fusion of cinnamon, sweet vanilla and subtle nutty notes reminiscent of the rice milk that makes up a traditional horchata, according to Starbucks. The Summer-Berry Refreshers return after initially being introduced in 2024. The drinks feature a "sweet and summery blend" of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and water, poured over raspberry flavored pearls. The refreshers can be ordered with lemonade in the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher or with coconut milk in the Summer Skies Drink. The drinks are available for a limited time, while supplies last this summer. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.
