While Canadians’ travel plans may be on hold for a while, Starbucks is bringing flavours of the tropics to customers this summer with a delicious, new iced beverage – the Kiwi Starfruit Starbucks Refreshers.

core/paragraph

Launching this week, the new Kiwi Starfruit Starbucks Refreshers is a lightly caffeinated beverage, full of bold tropical flavour, shaken with ice. A feast for the eyes thanks to its bright green hue, the drink’s pop of colour comes from a blend of fruit juice, green coffee extract and kiwi fruit inclusions mixed with water.

Starbucks Canada is expanding its <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/starbucks-rewards-new-summer-inspired-drink-menu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">summer-inspired menu</a>, adding Cold Brew or Nitro Cold Brew with Cinnamon Almond Foam to its lineup. Starting June 23, customers can treat themselves to this delicious non-dairy delight, or try the new non-dairy foam on their favourite iced coffee.

These new beverages are intended as a subtly sweet option with coffee-forward notes. The non-dairy foam layer is made from flavourful ingredients like almond beverage, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon, all with 40 calories.

Cold foam is designed to be the perfect finish to cold beverages. It’s frothed cold instead of hot and blended until smooth, creating layers of creamy texture and flavour without the cream. Cinnamon Almond Foam is airier than other foam options and can also be modified with soy.

Starbucks is <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/5-things-to-know-starbucks-sustainability-commitment/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">committed to including more plant-based options</a> on its menu. Introducing Cold Brew or Nitro Cold Brew with Cinnamon Almond Foam only adds to its growing list of non-dairy beverages. In January, Starbucks launched two new <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/starbucks-two-new-2020-beverages/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">non-dairy hot beverages</a> — the Almond Honey Flat White and the Coconut Latte — and recently introduced three <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/starbucks-rewards-new-summer-inspired-drink-menu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new Iced Coconut Drinks</a>: Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink, Iced Pineapple Matcha Drink, and Iced Golden Ginger Drink.

As for food, Starbucks added the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2020/starbucks-beyond-meat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beyond Meat®, Cheddar and Egg Sandwich</a> to its core offerings in March. The delicious breakfast sandwich has a plant-based patty and expands Starbucks meatless breakfast options.
