Valentine’s Day season is definitely in the air, and the perfect way to celebrate the day of love is with these new Valentine’s Day drinks at Starbucks. Starbucks is known for their iconic menu items — from pumpkin spice in the fall to sugar cookie and peppermint during the winter holiday season, there’s always something new to look forward to at Starbies all year round. Starbucks wanted to keep the love vibes going with two new Valentine’s Day drinks launching Jan. 30 for all the lover girls out there — while supplies last, of course.
For those who love their Frappuccinos (guilty), Starbucks is releasing the brand new Chocolate-Covered Strawberry CrĂ©me Frappuccino. The drink is a blend of ice, milk, and strawberry pureĂ© with java chips. Layered with strawberry pureĂ© and whipped creme on top, this drink is like a chocolate-covered strawberry in a cup with whipped topping galore.Â
If Frapps aren’t your go-tos and you’re looking for a new cold brew recipe to obsess over, then try the new Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew! This iced drink is sweetened with hazelnut syrup and topped with a chocolate creme cold foam and cookie crumble, perfect for those looking for those same vibes you get from a box of chocolate.Â
ICYMI, Starbucks has already released their Valentine’s Day-themed reusable drinkware collection. Cup collectors: Run, don’t walk — you definitely don’t want to miss this. The collection features a teal, pink, and red theme with tumblers, reusable hot cups, mugs, and water bottles. But don’t worry, every piece is adorned with hearts all over to keep up with the theme. The merch item I’m eyeing from this collection is the Hydrangeas & Hearts Cold Cup, which comes with a heart-shaped straw cover that is to die for. So, you might want to grab some merch when you grab your drink on V-Day, too.
If you want a taste of Valentine’s Day but can’t make it to a Starbucks before these drinks are long gone, beverages like the Pink Drink and Strawberries and CrĂ©me Frappucino are great alternatives to their Valentine’s Day drinks that are available all year round. If you’re looking for a taste similar to the new drinks above, try this menu hack — order a Pink Drink and add strawberry pureĂ© and chocolate foam for an iced chocolate covered strawberry drink that you can enjoy whenever your heart desires.Â
Consider stopping at Starbucks if you’re looking for something new to celebrate the Valentine’s season with. And hey, you can even turn it into the perfect Valentine’s Day coffee date with this duo of new drinks!
