 When asked to describe the vibrant palette he chose for his new collaboration with Starbucks, Tim Singleton says, “It’s my favorite color – all of them.” The Toronto-based artist and illustrator used electric shades of punchy cyan, magenta, vibrant pink, key lime green and citrusy orange and a mixture of iconography for the joyful collection. “I always like my work to put a smile on people’s faces.”&nbsp;

The new Starbucks drinkware collaboration with Singleton is arriving in Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada on May 30. The collection is the first in a series through the Starbucks Artist Collaboration Program, which celebrates and elevates the voices and stories of artists from around the world through uniquely curated merchandise in Starbucks stores.&nbsp;

“A lot of the work that I do focuses on queerness and how that has inspired me – both as a queer person and a gay man and how I relate to the world with that,” he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Singleton’s collection is a mish-mash of pop culture, queer culture and nostalgia with bold visuals and rainbow-bright colors. “It really is a story of self-expression and the unrelenting freedom to express yourself how you want, and that there isn’t really one right way to do it,” Singleton said.&nbsp;

Exclusively designed for Starbucks, the drinkware collection includes two 24-ounce (venti) plastic cold cups with glitter artwork and a 16-ounce stainless steel tumbler, while supplies last. Starbucks locations within Target stores will also have three additional Target-exclusive drinkware pieces.&nbsp;

This 24-ounce double-walled plastic cold cup has a bit of everything – colour, glitter, holofoil, flowers and a hand making a peace sign that holds a heart. The swirling design carries all the way to the straw, with a final swoop of cyan and magenta. “The peace sign is iconic and easy to interpret almost immediately,” Singleton said. “And at the end of the day, we all want just a little bit of peace.”

The rainbow gradient of this 24-ounce cold cup evokes a sunrise as it softly blends from cyan to magenta to citrus with an overlay of a graphic geometric grid treatment. “A beautiful metaphor for queerness is juxtaposing colors,” Singleton said. “Putting a colour beside another colour you wouldn’t think go together – and then it goes together beautifully.”

Singleton’s 16-ounce stainless steel tumbler features a hand holding a rainbow fan, while eyelashes, stars and other icons float through the scene. Singleton said, “I just love the connection of the fan to the queer scene – you see them at drag shows and at Pride events. When you hear that loud clap of the fan [by a group] in unison it speaks to a sense of joy and freedom and that sense of community you have when everyone is doing that in sync. It’s one of those beautiful, harmonious moments.”

Building a culture of inclusion and The Starbucks Foundation

Starbucks strives to create a culture of inclusion and is a proud ally of the the LGBTQIA2+ community, affirming every way people may choose to identify. Starbucks has a long history of supporting its LGBTQIA2+ partners and communities, from advocating&nbsp; to providing broader healthcare coverage for procedures and services that support gender affirmation.

Rooted in the Starbucks Mission to nurture human connection, The Starbucks Foundation, is one of the primary ways Starbucks uplifts communities from around the world. With more than $20 million invested into communities in the past year, The Starbucks Foundation supports nonprofit organizations in partnership with Starbucks partners (employees), licensee partners and others with a shared commitment and belief in stronger, more equitable communities. &nbsp;

Tim Singleton shares his inspiration for the new Starbucks drinkware collection arriving in Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada starting May 30. The collection is the first in a series through the Starbucks Artist Collaboration Program, which celebrates and elevates the voices and stories of artists from around the world through uniquely curated merchandise in Starbucks stores.

Summer at Starbucks is here! Starting Tuesday, May 9, customers can sip into the season with new summer-inspired beverages with fun-filled flavours including the Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino® blended beverage and White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew. Also new in stores is Starbucks® Green Apron Blend, a light and lively whole bean coffee co-created with over 24,000 Starbucks partners (employees), and more.&nbsp;

Sweet summer enjoy-mint: New Starbucks Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino® Blended Beverage&nbsp;

&nbsp;The Starbucks <a href="https://starbucks.app.link/kKfh7oz8Xyb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino® Blended Beverage</a>, features Starbucks Frappuccino roast coffee, sweet chocolate, and refreshing mint flavours with rich Frappuccino chips blended into a cooler-than-cool treat. The beverage is finished with a layer of mocha sauce, whipped cream, and a chocolate cookie mint sprinkle topping.&nbsp;

“With the Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino®, we wanted to take a new approach to the classic combination of mint and chocolate to create a blended coffee beverage that elicits nostalgia for one of our favorite summer treats,” said Maureen Matthews of Starbucks beverage development team. “The new white chocolate mint sauce is subtle and creamy, and when paired with the crunch of Frappuccino® chips and a swirl of rich mocha, is reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream poolside on a warm summer day.”&nbsp;

Available at participating stores in Canada for a limited time, while supplies last.&nbsp;

Cold meets creamy: New Starbucks White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew&nbsp;

Starbucks <a href="https://starbucks.app.link/OMRAjJr8Xyb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew</a> combines the balanced and smooth taste of Starbucks® Cold Brew with a summer twist. This delightfully dreamy beverage is sweetened with macadamia syrup, topped with a white chocolate macadamia cream cold foam, and finished with toasted cookie crumbles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“When creating Starbucks® White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, we were inspired by memories of fresh macadamia nuts on tropical vacations and the distinct flavor of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies,” said Matt Thornton of Starbucks beverage development team. “The smooth flavor profile of Starbucks® Cold Brew combined with the nuttiness of macadamia flavor, creaminess of white chocolate flavored sauce in the cold foam, and salty cookie crumbs delivers the perfect balance of sweet and savory that customers love and offers a moment of summer fun with every sip.”&nbsp;

New Starbucks® Green Apron Blend™

New Starbucks® Green Apron Blend™&nbsp; is a light and lively Starbucks® Blonde roast coffee, with hints of Honeybell orange and graham crackers, to emulate the brightness and energy of Starbucks partners and stores. Nearly 24,000 idea submissions from store partners shaped its flavour and roast profiles, as well as which regions the coffee was sourced from, and the look and feel of the packaging.&nbsp;

As part of Starbucks continued commitment to its partners, the company is designating $5 per bag and, for a limited time, $0.10 per brewed cup of Green Apron Blend™ sold to the Caring Unites Partners (CUP) Fund, a Starbucks program that provides grants to eligible Starbucks employees in times of need.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Green Apron Blend™ is available at participating stores in Canada as a 1 lb. bag of whole bean coffee year-round, and starting May 9, will be available as a daily brewed hot coffee for a limited time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Summer is upon us, and whether you’re planning an epic cross-country adventure or exploring a little closer to home – sometimes getting there is half the fun. Here are a few of the Starbucks stores that make for the perfect destination or a memorable stop along on your next road trip.

Starbucks is now in The County!

Once you’ve fueled up on food, Starbucks is just a hop and a skip away for a refreshing cold beverage to keep you company on your summer travels.

The inspiration for the Cité des Jeunes or “Town of the Young” Starbucks comes almost entirely from the region’s historical love of anything associated with water.

With more than 170,000 ways to customize your Starbucks beverage, customers have many options to create a drink that fits their lifestyle and taste preferences. That means it’s possible to get the same taste you love in your favourite hot beverage, cold. That’s right, your go-to warm beverage doesn’t have to be just a companion for the colder weather.

With warmer days here for the season, cool down with some of the favourites from a few hot-turned-cold beverage enthusiasts.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/beautiful.bibliophile/">@beautiful.bibliophile</a>: As I usually like sweeter drinks in the summer, I convert my go-to hot drink (a.k.a Caramel Macchiato) into an Iced Caramel Frappuccino® blended beverage during the warmer months

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thealmachronicle/">@thealmachronicle</a>: Starbucks espresso is a year-round staple for me. When the weather turns warmer, I order my favourite Caffè Americano with oat beverage over ice.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kelsinwonderland/">@kelsinwonderland</a>: My favourite espresso treat is the Brown Sugar Oat Americano. For summer, it was a complete no-brainer to me to swap it out for an Iced Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso (half sweet, so creamy and smooth)

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thenameisish/">@thenameisish</a>: On hot days I like to cool down by ordering my favourite Chai Latte over ice, with a shot of espresso. Perfectly sweet and spicy!

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/belowtheblonde/">@belowtheblonde</a>: My must-have beverage from Starbucks is the Caramel Macchiato, and I love that can order that iced when the temperatures start to rise.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/christianconfidential/">@christianconfidential</a>: For any day in the summer, I am ordering my favourite Starbucks Truth North Blend coffee with ice. Hold the cream but add extra ice. I love that it is the same flavourful coffee, while also refreshing.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/heysarahdarling/">@heysarahdarling</a>: I've started getting my beloved Flat White with brown sugar and oat beverage over ice. I can tell this is a pick-me-up that's going to carry me through the hot months!

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lilyyange/">@lilyyange</a>: My favourite order is usually a Caffe Mocha with salted caramel sauce. When having it iced, I make it Cali style with coconut beverage and some caramel crunch on top!

There are <a href="https://www.starbucks.ca/ways-to-order/">several convenient ways</a> to order Starbucks new spring beverages and food. Customers can use the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.starbucks.ca/rewards/mobile-apps" target="_blank">Starbucks app</a> to locate a store, view store hours, order ahead and use contactless payment, as well as determine the most convenient pick-up option, including: in-store, drive-thru, and curbside pickup where available.

The camp staple from the 1960s and ’70s is having another pop culture moment, with tie-dye becoming one of the hottest fashion trends of 2019. Now, the Tie-Dye Frappuccino® blended beverage is available starting today (July 10) at participating Starbucks stores in Canada and the United States for a limited time, while supplies last. 

The beverage is made using a tropical Crème Frappuccino with dashes of powder in yellow, red, and blue (which gets its color from red beet, turmeric and spirulina) that mix to make a rainbow of vibrant hues. The beverage is topped with whipped cream and a final dusting of colored powder.

Paloma Carrington-Bataller designed the colorful beverage and worked with the baristas at <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2019/inside-the-tryer-center-the-starbucks-lab-where-anything-is-possible/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">the Tryer Center</a> to perfect the build.

“We wanted to create something that celebrates summer and really conveys it both visually and through flavor within the beverage,” she said.&nbsp;“We knew it had to make you smile at first sight and our Tie-Dye Frappuccino does all this! It’s summer in a cup and something everyone can relate to; it takes you back to sunny warm days of summer spent at camp or with friends and family.”&nbsp; 

Just as no two tie-dyes are alike, each beverage will have its own unique combination of swirling shades. 

“It's bright and colorful and fun and should bring a smile to your face,” Carrington-Bataller said. “Perfect for the heydays of summer.”

With summer coming, nothing hits the spot quite like a delicious iced coffee. Here’s a simple tip to get the most out of your brew — make your ice cubes out of coffee. When you pour hot coffee over regular ice cubes, they water it down and dilute the taste as they melt. But with coffee cubes you get full flavour down to the last drop.

1. Brew 16 oz of coffee and let cool.

2.&nbsp;Pour coffee evenly into ice cube tray and place in freezer.

3. Fill glass with frozen coffee cubes.

4.&nbsp;Top it off with hot coffee.

5.&nbsp;Add cream and sweetener if desired.
