Cool New Drinks Alert!
At the famous Coachella music festival, Starbucks introduced a zesty new drink – Spicy Lemonade Refreshers. You can try them in pineapple, dragonfruit, or strawberry flavors. They’ve also added a special chili powder to give it an extra kick.
Starting April 16, you can get these drinks at Starbucks but for a limited time only. They have some hot honey drinks at special Starbucks Reserve stores in cities like Chicago, New York City, and Seattle too.
They’ve got a whole menu of sweet and spicy drinks like the Hot Honey Espresso and the Hot Honey Affogato. You can even get a spicy cream cold foam added to your drink for an extra zing!
People have been enjoying spicy drinks for a while. Now, Starbucks is making sure you can get that spicy taste in some drinks and coffee, too.
Remember last year when Starbucks had everyone talking about their olive oil drink, the Oleato? It sure got people chatting about new and unique flavors.
Hot Honey Buzz at Starbucks Reserve Stores
Starbucks has been testing the waters of the “swicy” trend for a while now. In March 2024, they announced a limited-edition menu of “swicy” drinks available only at their Reserve stores in Chicago, New York City, and Seattle. These drinks featured hot honey, a trendy condiment made with honey infused with chili peppers, adding a sweet and spicy kick.
The positive reception of the hot honey drinks at Reserve stores likely paved the way for the wider rollout of the Spicy Lemonade Refreshers available at all Starbucks cafes. This suggests Starbucks is confident that the “swicy” trend is here to stay and has broad appeal.
Take it Up a Notch with Starbucks’ New “Swicy” Drinks
Get ready for a ride for new blends at Starbucks! They’ve been embracing the “swicy” trend with their new lineup of Spicy Lemonade Refreshers and the option to add spicy cream cold foam to other drinks. This trend combines sweetness from familiar fruits and lemonade with a surprising kick of spice.
But why “swicy”? This generation of food and drink enthusiasts craves new and exciting flavor combinations. The sweet and spicy combo offers a unique taste experience that keeps our taste buds guessing. Think of it like a sweet and savory dish, but for drinks as well!
Here’s a closer look at the new Spicy Lemonade Refreshers:
- Spicy Dragonfruit: This drink combines the tropical taste of mango and dragonfruit with lemonade and a spicy chili powder blend.
- Spicy Pineapple: This refresher features the tangy sweetness of passionfruit and pineapple balanced by lemonade and the chili powder blend.
- Spicy Strawberry: This option combines the classic flavor of strawberries and acai with lemonade and the chili powder blend.
The addition of spicy cream cold foam to any Starbucks drink allows for further customization. This means you can add a touch of heat to your favorite iced latte or Frappuccino.
While spicy cocktails have been around for a while, Starbucks’ new offerings bring the “swicy” trend to the mainstream coffee and tea world. This is exciting news for those who enjoy a little adventure in their beverages!
