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.

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.

Diddy release hearing: Here's how Sean Combs' team and family are prepping for possible bail

Jul 03, 2025 12:58 AM IST As embattled music mogul Sean 'Diddy Combs awaits a possible release on bail, his family has started preparation to welcome the rapper home. The jury in the case delivered a verdict Wednesday, after a grueling trial lasting nearly two months. The 55-year-old was convicted of the two prostitution charges while being acquitted of the more serious federal sex trafficking charges. The judge in the case, Arun Subramanian, is set to decide on Diddy's release at hearing later today. Diddy arrives at the annual Independence Day 'White Party' at the PlayStation 2 Estate in Bridgehampton, New York, July 4, 2004.(AP) Amid that, TMZ reported that preparation has started at Diddy's mansion in Florida as his family anticipates a possible release. The report claimed citing sources that over the last few hours since the verdict, preparation are at full swing at Diddy's Miami estate to welcome the rapper home. 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. Diddy's Lawyers Submit Bail Plea The preparations started after Diddy's legal team submitted a letter to the judge at the Manhattan Federal Court setting possible conditions for his release on a $1 million bail bond. The conditions outlined in the letter restricts Diddy's travel within the United States to only certain parts of Florida, California, New York and New Jersey.
