Celebrate the Fourth of July with Starbucks’ special offering for this week!
If you’re waiting for the second drop of their summer menu, then we’re bringing you some good news. Starbucks is starting with a surprise drop with the new Firework Frappuccino Blended Beverage. But note that they’re offering it for one week only, specifically from July 1 to 7 at all their USA locations.
Now, what’s so special about the Firework Frappuccino Blended Beverage? Well, it features the same berry flavors of the Summer-Berry Refresher, blended with coconut milk and poured over some juicy raspberry-flavored pearls. For the holiday finish, a swirl of strawberry puree adds a red pop. A cloud of vanilla sweet cream is also placed on top with a silky finish.
Hurry and grab your Fourth of July limited-time treat from Starbucks as soon as they’re available at your nearby store.
Second Wave of The Summer Menu
Early last month, we shared a teaser about the possible drop of Starbucks’ second menu wave from our foodie friends. You may remember the Firework Frappuccino Blended Beverage included in the teaser. Now, there are a couple more items on the list, and this is what we’ve scooped so far:
- Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino – This beverage is expected to drop by July 8, along with other flavors of the Strato beverage. It’s made of mocha frappuccino with a salted caramel foam layer and a finish of caramel drizzle.
- Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino – Made for those who dreamed of a matcha frappuccino pair, this beverage features a matcha creme frappuccino with a strawberry cold foam top.
- Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino – Expected to drop on July 8, this sweet beverage is made of brown sugar cream cold foam with cinnamon powder placed on top.
- Double Chocolate Brownie – In case you missed it, Starbucks shared an Instagram video announcing they’re bringing back this brownie pastry. It’s a real treat since it’s made of chunks of semi-sweet chocolate. Although the post didn’t say if they’re now available, you can always check in your nearby Starbucks stores.

What’s Brewing at Starbucks?
The Summer-Berry Refreshers are the inspiration for the new Firework Frappuccino Blended Beverage. As you’ve known, Starbucks is berry focused this summer as they feature strawberries in their beverage and pastries. First of all are the Summer Berry Refreshers. It features raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors mixed with water, lemonade, and coconut milk. They’re shaken in ice and enjoyed with some Raspberry Pearls.
Not a fan of berries? Then it’s the Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso for you, then. It features the brand’s Blonde Espresso, which is combined with Horchata syrup. Expect the flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, and rice that are shaken together for ice. Finally, the beverage is topped with oat milk.
Looking for a pastry to pair? Try the new Strawberries & Cream Cake Pops, which feature strawberry cream mixed with buttercream and dipped in chocolate icing. The cake pop resembles an actual strawberry. Also, you can head over to any Starbucks Reserve location as the chain is currently offering new summer menu drops, such as the debut of Ube Espresso M*rt*ni, Masala Chai Latte, and Crispy Hashbrown Egg Cup.
