Starbucks is getting into summer mode.
The coffee giant revealed its 2025 summer menu, and customers can get it before what they think.
When launched in May, Starbucks confirmed that two seasonal drinks will return to the menu, as well as some food and drink items.
A new menu element will be an espresso shaken of oatmeal “inspired” by a horchata, a Mexican drink typically made of rice, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
There is still no official description for the Starbucks drink, called ESPRESSO Shaken Shaken from Horchata Oatmilk, but an alleged employee shared in Reddit that it will be the new Horchata syrup to be used for drinking.
The other new gift for the menu is a food: strawberries and cream cake pop, which Starbucks employees in Reddit said they were a strawberry cake base with butter cream.
Returning to the cafeteria for the summer cafeteria, they are lemonade review drinks and summer skies, which debuted for the first time last year, with juicy pearls with raspberry flavor, inspired by the popular East Asia Drink of East Asia Boba Tea.
The summer bias lemonade review is mixed with lemonade or course, while summer skies drink is combined with coconut milk.
Usually, made with tea and pearls of chewable tapioca, the unique version of Starbucks of Boba Tea has been described as “blueberries, blackberries and raspberries chosen at the height of summer.”
While the drink quickly became a fans’ favorite and Boba was with emotion of both customers and baristas, it was also with some criticism, which made it a controversial addition to the menu at that time.
Some points of sale also argued that by calling them “pearls” instead of “Boba”, the company moves away from the cultural history of Boba and capitalized the trend without recognizing the cultural context.
“Railing them” pearls “, Starbucks avoids a direct association with the culture of silly tea and, therefore, the Asian culture in general,” Eater wrote. “And intentional or not, like all brands, a change of name is probably a way that it sounds new and creative, erases the history of drunk drinks, positioning Starbucks as innovative when he is really a follower.”
“Starbucks choosing the name” Pearls “” for its launch is a lost opportunity. Avoid connection with the culture of boba tea and avoid creating a stronger connection with the month of Aapi’s inheritance, “Adweek wrote.
Others simply did not want to get Boba out of a chain.
“Nobody wants Boba from Starbucks,” said a person after he debuted for the first time.
