As temperatures rise, Starbucks cools down the summer heat with the launch of two enticing Wafflecone Frappuccinos and a trio of refreshing Lemonade flavors. Available from July 6, these sweet indulgences pair innovative flavors with the convenience of customizability and environmental friendliness through the Starbucks UK app rewards program.
Fans of the classic Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino could enjoy the new Strawberry Wafflecone Crème Frappuccino. It consists of a frappuccino base infused with strawberry sauce and irresistible waffle biscuit syrup. Complete with whipped cream and a deliciously crunchy crushed wafflecone topping.
On July 6th, these delightful new creations hit Starbucks stores. Those too impatient to wait can download the Starbucks UK app and become a rewards member. Valued members enjoy exclusive early access to new drinks, earn stars, and even get free drinks – all before anyone else. They can also feel good about saving 25p on their beverage when they use a reusable cup. It's a small change that makes a big impact.
The drinks are customizable. Those who are not fans of whipped cream can leave it off. Those who prefer a dairy alternative can choose from oat, soya, coconut, and almond milk – no extra charge.
These new Frappuccinos follow the successful launch of our expanded summer menu in May. There's the Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew, along with the returning favorites – the Chicken Caesar Wrap and Plant-Based Breakfast Wrap – which have already won the hearts of Starbucks lovers everywhere.
Beat the heat with the frozen lemonade refreshers. Inspired by the creative minds of our customers and baristas, Starbucks is offering three exciting new frozen drinks that have earned a permanent spot on their menu. Try the Frozen Strawberry Açai Lemonade, Frozen Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade, and Frozen Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade.
