The summer menu features a new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and returns fan-favorite Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers and a new Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop. The Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso features Starbucks Blonde Espresso paired with oatmilk and an horchata flavored syrup, which is a fusion of cinnamon, sweet vanilla and subtle nutty notes reminiscent of the rice milk that makes up a traditional horchata, according to Starbucks. The Summer-Berry Refreshers return after initially being introduced in 2024. The drinks feature a "sweet and summery blend" of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and water, poured over raspberry flavored pearls. The refreshers can be ordered with lemonade in the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher or with coconut milk in the Summer Skies Drink. The drinks are available for a limited time, while supplies last this summer. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

Starbucks While many customers seem to be excited about the new Frappuccinos, baristas online are less than happy — complaining that the new fraps go against the company's goal to 'simplify' the menu. 'So much for simplifying the menu, my fraps already take longer than any other drink to make for me,' one complained on Reddit. 'This is gonna suuuuuck so much to make quickly.' Advertisement 'Yeah, I mean, didn't you hear them? were simplifying the menu by taking away the fraps with coffee and coming out with 12 step drinks with cold foam. obviously this is what makes sense,' another snarked. 5 Starbucks' new Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino.

On the seasonal menu is the brand-new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, which combines blonde espresso with horchata syrup — a mix of cinnamon, vanilla and rice flavors — shaken with ice and topped off with oat milk. 5 The coffee giant has four new blended beverages for the summer.
