More Starbucks Summer Menu 2024 items released: Tropical energy drinks & more

Phase two of Starbucks’ Summer menu for 2024 has been revealed, and it includes new food, cold brews, and never-before-seen tropical energy drinks.

Markie_devo, a popular Instagram food blogger, unveiled the items when they leaked back in May, claiming that the source came straight from a Starbucks employee.

Starbucks employees get access to new menu items a few weeks before a launch in order to perfect the drink recipes and allow rewards members early access about a week before the official launch.

It seems that the leak was right, as the drinks are due to launch on June 25, and these will replace the current Summer Menu that features popping boba.

What is on the Starbucks Summer Menu 2024?

Customers were excited as the second part of Starbucks’ Summer Menu drop, which included seven brand new items. Although, it looks like the cinnamon frappuccino in the above post has been postponed until a later release.

The new menu items are as follows:

• Tropical Citrus Iced Energy Drink– Passionfruit, citrus, and green tea.
• Melon Burst Iced Energy Drink– Melon, cucumber, and passion tango tea.
• Frozen Tropical Iced Energy Drink– A frozen boost of energy. Passionfruit and citrus blend with strawberry puree combined together.
• Non-Dairy Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew– A custom blend of Starbucks cold brew coffee, slow-steeped and enhanced with vanilla, finished with a layer of non-dairy vanilla sweet cream.
• Egg, Pesto & Mozzarella Sandwich– A fluffy frittata made with eggs, kale, basil pesto, and mozzarella, served on a toasted cheddar and onion bun.
• Blueberry Streusel Muffin– A golden-brown muffin bursting with juicy blueberries and hints of vanilla, topped with a cinnamon streusel.

Starbucks are following in the footsteps of other chains that have released energy drinks this year, and although these new drinks are slightly sparkling, they could be similar to their Refreshas that contain green coffee bean extract for energy.

Jack In The Box served energy drinks in April, and Smoothie King just launched a range of drinks also using green coffee beans for caffeine.

It’s great to see Starbucks following suit with their new energy drinks, especially after they jumped on the boba trend in their last release, as well as incorporating a dairy-free option.

Starbucks quietly launched these items that are now available for purchase at all locations while stocks last. If you want to save while you sip too, you can check out our advice on how to become a Starbucks Gold Member.
