Say hello to summer
Starbucks introduces new drinks full of energy and freshness.
This summer, Starbucks tastes different. Lighter, more playful and unexpectedly surprising — for example, with hints of caramelised banana. The new seasonal drinks selection combines coffee innovation with refreshing summer indulgence that matches the current mood of customers. Whether they are looking for a boost, a reward or a moment just for themselves, this summer Starbucks offers everything in a single cup.
This year, Starbucks takes cold beverages to a whole new level. It’s not just about cooling down on hot days, but about small seasonal moments that can slow the pace of the day, add energy and lift your mood. The summer menu is built around a simple idea: reward, recharge and refresh — exactly when you need it most.
A flavour that started as a trend
The star of this summer is the Caramelised Banana flavour. It emerged quietly as a viral combination of espresso, ice and banana purée, quickly capturing the attention of coffee lovers around the world. The natural sweetness of banana gently balances the bitterness of coffee, creating a flavour that feels both new and familiar. Its distinctive balance turned it into a trend that soon expanded to other drinks, including matcha, where it beautifully highlights its earthy character. Starbucks now takes this trend even further with caramelisation, adding depth, subtle sweetness and a lightly dessert‑like quality.
Coffee innovation with banana in the leading role
The summer menu brings new combinations built around coffee, matcha and the taste of caramelised banana:
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Oat Shaken Espresso
Smooth Blonde Espresso shaken with ice and banana syrup, finished with a plant‑based oat drink that creates a striking lava‑like effect.
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Latte (also available hot)
A combination of milk, espresso and caramelised banana, topped with Caramelised Banana Milk Cold Foam.
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Matcha Latte
An unexpectedly harmonious pairing. Sweet banana and gently earthy matcha create a balanced and calming flavour profile.
