Here's another way to beat the ghastly heat – with some fun summer beverages from Starbucks. From June 8 onwards, the iconic coffeehouse is serving up 'drinkable cheesecakes' and cold brews, as well as some cute merchandise to add pop to your daily coffee fix.
A creamy summer menu
Now, we don't usually associate creamy drinks with summer. We prefer light, refreshing drinks to chase the heat away, but Starbucks' new menu sounds too good to pass up.
There are two new 'drinkable cheesecake' frappuccinos: hazelnut mocha and strawberry raspberry ($8.20 each for a tall frappuccino). The former is a tasty concoction of hazelnut syrup and cream cheese flavoured sauce, blended with Starbucks Frappuccino Roast coffee, milk and ice. It's got crunchy golden graham cracker crumbs at the bottom, and airy whipped cream and shredded white chocolate on top – decadent.
Prefer something tangy? The strawberry raspberry cheesecake frappuccino screams summer. Cream cheese flavoured sauce and sweet berry sauce are a match made in heaven – they're blended with milk and ice, layered over buttery biscuit crumbs and topped with smooth whipped cream and white chocolate shreds.
Alongside are two refreshing cold brews. Both the coffee-based cold brew ($7.20, tall) and black tea cold brew ($6.90, tall) are given a citrus twist of honey ruby grapefruit, perfect for cooling off on a sweltering day.
Cute new merch for plant parents
If you're crazy about plants – or just keen to add some positive plant vibes to your routine – then you'll love Starbucks' new Plant Parenting collection.
Mugs, tumblers, keychains and charms are splashed with botanical motifs – think lush green leaves, little fuzzy caterpillars and dew drops against the backdrop of a home – designed to relieve stress and give you just the right boost with your cup of caffeine.
There will also be two, new unique colours of the Studded Cold Cups. Continue the plant theme with the stunning Matte Forest Green, or get a little sparkly with the exclusive Twinkle Purple (only available in Starbucks Singapore and Vietnam).
These items are already available in-store and online at the Starbucks Online Store, LazMall, and ShopeeMall.
