They’ve already unveiled a treasure trove of refreshing drinks specifically made to help us enjoy the warmer climate and beat the heat! From seasonal favorites to brand new drinks (and even new snacks!), these are the Starbucks Summer Menu Items for 2024. And as a bonus, we’ll also add summer drinks you can only get in the UK!
Starbucks Spicy Dragonfruit Refresher (NEW!)
A new line of spicy Starbucks Refreshers have been swirling around the internet for a while and Starbucks finally confirmed it! They’re releasing new spicy drinks that will make for an interesting mix of flavors. Do they sound unconventional? Sure. But do they sound interesting? Definitely. First up is the Spicy Dragonfruit Refresher. It’s like your typical dragon fruit refresher but mixed with lemonade and some Spicy Chili Powder.
Starbucks Spicy Strawberry Refresher (NEW!)
Getting a little tired of all the dragon fruit drinks? Well, fortunately Starbucks has some more berry-based drinks in store that will surely give you a taste of summer. It has a refreshing mix of strawberries, lime, and their new Spicy Chili Powder Blend that will make it both hot and cool at the same time.
Starbucks Spicy Pineapple Refresher (NEW!)
Pineapple is another fruit with flavors commonly associated with summer and days at the beach. So Starbucks incorporated this idea into one of their latest drinks. The Spicy Pineapple Refresher is made with pineapple juice, a hint of lime, and of course, the Spicy Chili Powder Blend. This makes for a drink that will give you a unique mix of flavors while still being a summertime classic.
Starbucks Spicy Cream Cold Foam (NEW!)
You think Refreshers are the only things from Starbucks getting the Spicy Chili Powder Blend treatment? Cold Foams are also getting a spicy twist this summer! The Spicy Cream Cold Foam has everything you love and want from a traditional Cold Foam but it’s enhanced with a bit of spiciness to ramp up the flavor. It’s a surprising combination but it’s definitely a welcome surprise.
Starbucks Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher (NEW!)
And now we’re finally at the long rumored set of drinks from Starbucks’ Summer Menu. First up is the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher. Boba pearls have been pretty popular in recent times but did you know that Starbucks have never rolled out products with boba in them in a nationwide release? These drinks look to break that trend. The Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher is a mix of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blended with coconut milk for that creamy texture. Those new raspberry popping boba pearls will also add a welcome burst of flavor that will make this summer drink a crowd pleasing favorite.
Starbucks Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher (NEW!)
Want the Summer Berry Refresher but without the coconut milk? You don’t have to ask for it like it’s a secret menu item. Just ask for the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher. It has everything you want from the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher but uses lemonade instead of coconut milk to give it that refreshing citrus flavor. This drink is perfect if you’re in the mood for something sweet and sour.
Starbucks Summer Skies Drink Refresher (NEW!)
Just by looking at the Summer Skies Drink Refresher, you can tell it’s one creamy drink and definitely instagrammable. Not only is it a feast for the eyes, it sounds like it would taste delicious too! Made with a blend of tropical fruit flavors, coconut milk, and a hint of vanilla, the Summer Skies Drink Refresher just might be the most anticipated drink in Starbucks’ summer menu.
Starbucks White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew (Seasonal)
To round out the list of Summer Menu drinks, here’s a fan favorite that’s making a comeback. The White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew was last seen in the Starbucks menu last summer. And now, it’s making a return as a seasonal summer beverage. Anyone who enjoys both chocolate and coffee will definitely love this drink. It’s a typical smooth cold brew coffee made even better by the welcomed addition of white chocolate and macadamia nut flavors.
Starbucks Orange Cream Cake Pop
Oh you thought that the Starbucks Summer Menu will only include drinks? Think again! They’re coming out with two delicious snacks that will perfectly complement the new drinks they’re releasing. The first one is the Orange Cream Cake Pop. Made with orange cream cake, buttercream, and chocolate icing, this new cake pop will have a mix of sweet and citrus flavors.
Starbucks Pineapple Cloud Cake
And finally, we have a snack that perfectly embodies summer and tropical flavors with the Pineapple Cloud Cake. It’s an airy cake with pineapple cream, pineapple spread, and whole fruit pieces inside of it. Definitely a must try for anyone eagerly waiting for Starbucks’ Summer Menu. It’s the perfect summer snack and I bet it’s going to be a new fan favorite.
Bonus Section
The following drinks are also Summer Menu items from Starbucks but are only available in the UK.
Starbucks Crème Brulée Cold Brew
I love coffee as much as the next guy but it can be quite difficult to enjoy a piping hot cup in the middle of summer. Luckily, we got cold brew to save the day! Seriously, the person who invented iced coffee is a genius. But let’s get onto the Crème Brulée Cold Brew. This isn’t just your average cold brew. It has the typical cold brew with a touch of vanilla syrup but the real kicker here is the Crème Brulée Cream Cold Foam that’s topped off with a dusting of fresh coffee grounds. A great, refreshing way to enjoy coffee in the hot summer days.
Starbucks Crème Brulée Iced Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso
Need something a little lighter than a cold brew? No worries. Starbucks has plenty of options to get you your kick of caffeine. The Crème Brulée Iced Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso may sound like a mouthful but it’s actually really good. It’s a blend of iced espresso, brown sugar, oat milk, and topped off with the Crème Brulée Cream Cold Foam.
Starbucks Crème Brulée Brown Sugar Frappuccino
Cold Brews and Espressos aren’t the only things from Starbucks getting a Crème Brulée Cream Cold Foam makeover. Their signature Frappuccinos are also getting a limited-time flavor release that’s sure to add onto your summer indulgence. It has a brown sugar and coffee frappuccino base perfect for a caffeine kick while also satisfying your sweet tooth. Definitely one of the best ways to cool down.
Starbucks Dragon Coconut Refresha
Want something refreshing but don’t want coffee? It’s cool; there’s plenty of offers for everyone in Starbucks this summer. They have a long lineup of Refresha drinks that are sure to quench your thirst. First up is the Dragon Coconut Refresha. Anyone who loves dragonfruit and coconuts is sure to love this drink. It’s like a blast of tropical flavors in your mouth. Plus it’s pink! It’s the perfect mix of fruity flavors to give you that island vibe.
Starbucks Very Berry Hibiscus Refresha
Here’s something for anyone who wants that classic mix of summer flavors. The Very Berry Hibiscus Refresha just might be your new go to if you want something that’ll instantly remind you of summer. Made with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and a touch of hibiscus, this drink is the perfect poolside beverage. Very berry indeed.
Starbucks Mango Dragon Fruit Refresha
Dragon fruit is in season this summer and this drink blends it with another fruit to give it that citrus-y kick: mangoes. The Mango Dragon Fruit Refresha is essentially the same as the Dragon Coconut Refresha but lacks the creamy texture from the coconut milk. Instead, it gets a tangy, zesty twist thanks to the addition of mangoes.
