Starbucks is celebrating the Fourth of July with a new festive drink that’s filled with patriotic spirit. Beginning Tuesday, July 1, the coffee chain is rolling out the limited-time Fireworks Frappuccino. It is a red, white, and blue celebratory blended drink based on the US national flag.
What’s Inside the Fireworks Frappuccino?
Starbucks released a new Fireworks Frappuccino to celebrate the Fourth of July. The red, white, and blue Frappuccino is made using the Starbucks Summer-Berry Refresher. This vibrant drink blends coconut milk with raspberry-flavored pearls. The combination creates a fizzy, candy-like flavor. It is then topped with a swirl of strawberry purée. A dollop of creamy vanilla sweet cream cold foam adds a sweet, celebratory finish. This colorful creation, according to USA Today, captures the festive spirit of the holiday.
Inspiration Behind the Drink for Starbucks
In a press release, Starbucks product manager, Amanda Conaway, who helped in the creation of the drink, described the refresher as “a summer vacation in a cup.” She added, “From the popping pearls to the creamy vanilla sweet cream, it’s a vibrant, textured beverage inspired by the sights and sounds of summer.”
Limited-Time Availability and What’s Next
Yet the holiday cocktail is available for just seven days beginning July 1, i.e., Monday, July 7.
The Firework Frappuccino is only the start of Starbucks’ July drink offerings. It’s one of four new frappuccinos the coffee shop has previewed to roll out this summer. While the red, white, and blue-colored Firework Frappuccino debuts just before Independence Day, three others are set to follow later this month.
These include the Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino, the Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino, and the Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino. Each is touted to deliver bold, stacked flavors to keep customers caffeinated and cool during the summer season. Sweet surprises are in store for fans as July progresses.
