A Fresh Take on the Iconic Cold Cup

sbx_nsav — Thu, 23 May 2013 16:04:00 GMT

You’ve shared ideas for us to offer a promotional cup. We heard you. From May 24-30 at participating stores, you can purchase this limited edition Frappuccino-inspired cold cup and get a free Grande Frappuccino® blended beverage at the same time. (Insider tip: supplies are limited so don’t wait too long to get this one!)

In addition to the promotional cup, this summer we’ve created a new twist on the cold cup and its accessories. Our new Chiseled Collection features a stylish, multi-faceted design in cool colors like mint green and hot pink. Fun!

We wanted you to be among the first to know about this new cup and this season's collection because of your many ideas about the reusable Cold Cup. Because of you we offer it year round, offer it in a Venti size, and now even have replacement accessories available in our stores this summer and year round at StarbucksStore.com.

Keep the ideas coming!

Frappuccino Happy Hour is Back

Archana R — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:58:00 GMT

It’s something you guys have asked for a lot. And we agree. The return of warmer weather calls for a celebration – and what better way to kick of summer than the return of Frappuccino® Happy Hour!

This year it will be May 3-12. Come into any participating Starbucks store between 3 and 5 p.m. and get any Frappuccino® blended beverage half-off.

We’re also proud to introduce this year’s new drink, the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino® blended beverage. Made with four kinds of caramel, this decadent explosion of caramelly goodness is a Caramel Frappuccino® blended beverage topped with a layer of dark caramel sauce, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a crunchy caramel sugar.

Last year’s breakout drink Mocha Cookie Crumble is also back. The cookie-flavored Frappuccino® blended beverage comes with chocolaty whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles. Wait, is that drool on my keyboard?

We’re Trying Caramel Flan Latte

Laure G — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:19:00 GMT

Every now and then we hear ideas about new flavors for drinks, such as this one. Well, great minds think alike. We’re trying a new Caramel Flan Latte for a limited time in participating stores in San Diego, Milwaukee and Columbus.

In Mexico, caramel flan is a very traditional dessert; every family has its own recipe. To create our version, we took inspiration from the idea of a vanilla-infused custard with a sweet caramel top layer – then we reinvented the experience for all you latte lovers out there.

Our Caramel Flan Latte combines our signature Espresso Roast, freshly steamed milk and rich flan syrup. It’s topped with a caramel whipped cream (yum!) and a soft layer of sweet caramel drizzle. It's also great Iced or as a Frappuccino® blended beverage. If you’re in San Diego, Milwaukee or Columbus, try it and tell us what you think!

Celebrating the Return of Salted Caramel Mocha

Kelly B — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:24:00 GMT

Hello everyone! This is Kelly from the espresso team, and I have an exciting announcement: Salted Caramel Mocha is back! This beverage is a wonderful combination of fall flavors: chocolate and caramel with a salty twist – perfect for those cooler days on the way.

Still enjoying the last days of summer? Indulge in the same delicious flavors, only chilled, Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino® blended beverage.

Or if you’d rather a snack, have a Salted Caramel Cake Pop. Inspired by your love for this special flavor, this new treat is a decadent combination of chocolate cake, buttercream and caramel icing, finished with milk chocolate, caramel drizzle and sea salt. So good, we can hardly stand it – and you’re gonna love it.

Beat the Heat with Treat Receipt

sbx_bean — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 21:00:00 GMT

Whew! It has been a hot summer for many of you. To help cool you down the Starbucks® Treat Receipt is returning for the month of August (August 1 - September 3, 2012). Many of you remember how it works – save your morning receipt and come back the same day to a participating Starbucks after 2 pm and get any handcrafted cold grande (16 fl. oz.) beverage for $2.00 (plus tax where applicable).

How do you like your iced beverage at Starbucks? Shaken, stirred, or blended? It’s your call. Try a new one each day. Some shaken choices – Starbucks Refreshers™ beverages in Cool Lime or Very Berry Hibiscus or how about a shaken Iced Tea Lemonade? Choose your tea: black, Passion®, or green tea. Do you like it sweetened? Mix it up with a new syrup like raspberry or play it safe with classic syrup.

Iced Espresso Beverages are nice too. You may like a Caffè Mocha in the morning, but after 2 pm an Iced Mocha is nice. Hot espresso mixes with bittersweet mocha sauce combined with your choice of milk then chilled with ice. Add a straw and enjoy an afternoon break in the shade.

All Frappuccino® blended beverages are part of the Treat Receipt offer too. This summer try the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino® or the Mocha Coconut Frappuccino® blended beverages. I recommend the Java Chip Frappuccino® blended beverage with a shot of espresso. It’s a delicious way to beat the heat with kicked-up coffee flavor.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer. And most of all stay cool.

Introducing Frappuccino® Frozt™ blended beverage

Helen_K — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:59:00 GMT

Backyard BBQs. The scent of sunscreen. Flip-flops. Lounging by the pool. Summer’s here, and in the Starbucks Beverage Lab, we’ve been inspired to capture the taste of the season in a new line of Frappuccino® blended beverages.

Meet the Frappuccino® Frozt™ blended beverage. These dairy-free concoctions are currently available in select stores in San Jose, Dallas, and Atlanta. For those of you who have asked for non-dairy Frappuccino® beverage options, this is for you!

A Frappuccino® Frozt™ blended beverage is the perfect cool-me-down refreshment for those hot, sticky, sweltering summer days. It’s available in two flavors: Pink Lime (think fruity limeade) and Coconut Lime (think tropical piña colada). One mouth-chilling sip and you’ll be transported to the beach. An afternoon picnic. Relaxing in the sunshine. Or wherever your summertime reveries take you!

We’ve had a blast taste-testing our way toward this fruity-tropical, icy-smooth refreshment. We hope you enjoy it too, and would love to hear what you think!
