Whether you’re a loyal Starbucks patron or more of an every-now-and-then customer, we’ve got the scoop on the coffee chain’s upcoming releases. Expect bright colors and flavors from Starbucks’ new drink and drinkware products!

And according to our friends at totallythebomb.com, rumor has it that there’s a unicorn cake pop in the works. Learn how to make a copycat of Starbucks cake pops.

What Is Starbucks’ New Drink?

Starbucks fans, give a warm welcome to the all-new Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino!

After last year’s spike in orders of the Funnel Cake Frappuccino—one of many secret menu items—the baristas at Starbucks got busy and concocted a signature recipe of their own. The secret menu drink that generated the hype was Vanilla Frappuccino customized with toffee nut syrup, caramel drizzle, cinnamon dolce powder and whipped cream. But add in a few pumps of lush strawberry flavor, and this is the perfect drink for the warm days of summer ahead.

The Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino has yet to hit stores, so we can’t share the official recipe quite yet. Still, we can almost guarantee that it will be fruity, sweet and most likely a summer hit.

There Will Be New Merch, Too

June is Pride Month, and to honor and celebrate members of the LGBTQ+ community, Starbucks is releasing all that glimmers, shimmers and shines in their newest line of drinkware. Look out for rainbow mugs, dreamy pastels and studded, sparkling tumblers in tones of fuchsia and turquoise.

Celebrate Pride beyond the month of June by adding some of these colorful pieces to your collection! Keep in mind, though, that not all stores will have every product up for grabs at their location. You might have to make a couple trips.

When Should I Get in Line?

May 11, 2021 is the date you need to have on your calendar. It’s just around the corner, but don’t be surprised if products sell out quickly—a lot of people are anticipating this release with excitement!
