Starbucks has introduced a new Fireworks Frappuccino in celebration of the Fourth of July. The red, white, and blue frappuccino has been derived from the combination of the Starbucks Summer-Berry Refresher, which consists of a vibrant mix of coconut milk poured over raspberry-flavored pearls, giving it a fizzy, candy-like burst. It's finished with a swirl of strawberry purée and a creamy layer of vanilla sweet cream cold foam for a sweet, festive touch, as reported by USA Today.
In a press release, Starbucks product manager, Amanda Conaway, who helped in the creation of the drink, described the refresher as 'a summer vacation in a cup.' She added, 'From the popping pearls to the creamy vanilla sweet cream, it's a vibrant, textured beverage inspired by the sights and sounds of summer."
However, the festive drink is only available for a week from July 1, i.e., Monday, July 7.

The Firework Frappuccino is just the beginning of Starbucks' July beverage lineup. It's one of four new frappuccino creations the coffee chain has teased for a summer release. While the red, white, and blue-themed Firework Frappuccino arrives just in time for Independence Day, three more drinks are expected to hit stores later in the month.
These are the Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino, the Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino, and the Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino. Each promises bold, layered flavors designed to keep customers cool and caffeinated through the summer heat. Fans can expect more sweet surprises as July unfolds.

The judge in the case, Arun Subramanian, is set to decide on Diddy's release at hearing later today.

His team has already increased security at the Star Island estate located at the heart of the Sunshine State. As per the TMZ report, Diddy's team plans to fly him to his Florida estate upon his release. To do that, they have also arranged a private jet in standby as the 55-year-old's bail hearing at the Manhattan Federal Court kicks off later today.
