A festive new Starbucks Frappuccino joins the summer menu—but you can only get it this week
Getting ready for 4th of July festivities? The long holiday weekend is just around the corner, and celebration prep is in full swing. When you head out for your grilling supplies, don't forget about your thirst: just in time for the Fourth of July, Starbucks is serving up a festive, limited-edition Frappuccino that looks like a firecracker and tastes like summer. Meet the Firework Frappuccino, a layered, berry-loaded treat that's only on the menu for one week—from Tuesday, July 1 to Monday, July 7—at Starbucks locations around the country (while supplies last). This colorful blended drink hits the Independence Day trifecta with red, white and blue layers that look like they're straight out of a fireworks show. It's a visually patriotic vibe, but this cool bev delivers on flavor, too. Starbucks starts with its tangy Summer-Berry Refresher and blends it with creamy coconut milk for a smooth, slightly tropical base. It's then poured over raspberry-flavored pearls that burst with a juicy surprise in every sip. A bold swirl of strawberry purée adds that classic firecracker red, while vanilla sweet cream cold foam gives it a silky white cloud on top. The result? A refreshing, tangy-sweet sipper that's fruity, creamy and totally summer-ready. Whether you're hitting the beach, heading to a BBQ or just trying to cool off in the heat, the Firework Frappuccino has serious summer energy that will keep you going. It's cold, it's vibrant and it's got just enough berry kick to keep you coming back for more. Like a good fireworks show, however, this treat won't last long. So, if you're craving something cool and festive to toast Independence Day, now's the time. Get it before it's gone—because nothing says "summer" quite like a brain freeze in red, white and blue.

Starbucks fires off new red, white and blue Firework Frappuccino on July 1
Starbucks kicks off its Independence Day celebration on Tuesday, July 1 with a new beverage bearing a patriotic color scheme. The new Firework Frappuccino gets its red, white and blue coloring from a combination of the Starbucks Summer-Berry Refresher with coconut milk, poured over the refresher's raspberry-flavored pearls. The blended beverage is then topped with a swirl of strawberry purée and vanilla sweet cream cold foam. The Firework Frappuccino hits the menu for a limited time – just one week, ending Monday, July 7. Amanda Conaway, a Starbucks product manager who helped in the drink's creation, describes the drink as "a summer vacation in a cup" in a press release. "From the popping pearls to the creamy vanilla sweet cream, it's a vibrant, textured beverage inspired by the sights and sounds of summer." Starbucks: Coffehouse chain names global barista champion after latte art, blind tasting challenges The Firework Frappuccino is one of four new Frappuccino beverages Starbucks had previously announced were coming to its coffee shops in July. The other three drinks – Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino, Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino and Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino – are expected later in the month. These new drink offerings come after Starbucks pulled several Frappuccinos and other drinks from its menu in March. The move to a simpler menu was part of CEO Brian Niccol's "Back to Starbucks" plan to revitalize the Seattle-based coffee chain in the U.S. The coffeehouse chain also as of June 24 said it would begin charging 80 cents for any additional combination of syrup or sauce to an unflavored beverage. However, if you add or substitute sauces or syrups to a preflavored beverage – such as adding vanilla syrup to a mocha – it remains free of charge. Starbucks got a jump on the season, making its summer menu available May 20. New on the menu is the Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and a Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop. Back for the summer are the Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers, which in addition to the Summer-Berry Refresher includes a Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher and the Summer Skies drink made with coconut milk.
