Starbucks has today launched a striking new Firework Frappuccino in US stores to celebrate the Fourth of July, available from 1 to 7 July, while supplies last.

The limited-time beverage blends patriotic flair with seasonal flavours, featuring layers of red, white and blue to reflect the spirit of Independence Day.

The drink combines berry flavours from the Starbucks Summer-Berry Refresher with coconut milk, poured over popping raspberry-flavoured pearls. A swirl of strawberry purée and a generous topping of vanilla sweet cream cold foam complete the drink.

Amanda Conaway, a Starbucks product manager who helped create the drink, said:

This is a summer vacation in a cup. From the popping pearls to the creamy vanilla sweet cream, it’s a vibrant, textured beverage inspired by the sights and sounds of summer.”

Crafted to complement barbecues, beach outings and summer gatherings, Starbucks describes its flavour as tangy-sweet and refreshing, designed for customers seeking seasonal indulgence with strong visual appeal.

Summer menu releases

The Firework Frappuccino headlines Starbucks’ summer drinks campaign and is the first of four new Frappuccino beverages set to roll out in July. The other planned variations set to release later this month are the Salted Caramel Mocha Strato, Strawberry Matcha Strato and Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccinos.

The seasonal line-up also features the new Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, the returning Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers and a fresh Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, each adding a unique twist to Starbucks’ summer offerings.

The Firework Frappuccino is available at participating US Starbucks locations until 7 July, or while supplies last, as the brand continues its strategy of tapping into holiday excitement and consumers’ appetite for experiential, Instagram-worthy beverages.
