Time to book a flight overseas! Starbucks stores across the globe are stepping up their Frappuccino game now that the warmer weather has officially arrived.
While U.S. outposts of the massive coffee chain sell drinks including staples such as the mocha Frappuccino and the new, Easter-appropriate Cadbury Egg Frappuccino, Starbucks Asia is introducing two new beverages that sound as delicious as they look.
Described as “perfect complements to the summer heat” via a Starbucks rep, the first of these Instagram-worthy drinks is the mixed berry Frappuccino with pomegranate pearls. The caffeinated thirst-quencher combines mixed berry sauce and velvety milk to create a smooth, fruity flavor. The beverage is then topped with whipped cream to balance the tart berry flavor, as well as and pearls that burst with real pomegranate juice as they pop in your mouth.
Next up is the yuzu honey jelly yogurt Frappuccino, which consists of a blend of tangy yogurt and yuzu honey that has been poured over a layer of yuzu jelly. The result is “a beverage that will bring any yogurt lover joy.”
Both the mixed berry Frappuccino and the yuzu honey jelly yogurt Frappuccino will be available in participating markets in Asia starting in April, while supplies last.
Not to be outdone, Starbucks stores across Latin America are gearing up for the debut of the pink flamingo Frappuccino, which is slated to arrive in that part of the world for a limited time. Those living in Colombia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Central America can enjoy the new drink from Wednesday, April 10, to Sunday, April 14, while supplies last.
This bird-inspired blended beverage features a majestic pink hue, strawberry flavor and is topped with whipped cream and cookie pieces. Consider Us jealous!
Though there are no current plans to bring any of these three beverages to the United States, Americans are in for a treat of their own: The rep tells Us that Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew will be available in all U.S. company-operated stores by the end of 2019.
