Starbucks fans, here’s the latest and newest beverages from Starbucks Philippines to try this summer! Let these extraordinary concoctions inspire you to make this summer, your best ever.
NEW Starbucks Ombré Cold Brews
If you haven’t tried ordering a Starbucks Cold Brew, don’t miss out on this extraordinary coffee experience. Cold brewing is a method of brewing that combines ground coffee and cool water and uses time instead of heat to extract the flavor. This makes it a perfect way to enjoy coffee even on hot summer days.
I was always an iced coffee skeptic until I tried the newest Tahitian Vanilla Macchiato, it is one of the two Starbucks Ombré Cold Brews.
Tahitian Vanilla Macchiato
This favorite beverage is coffee-forward, combining Tahitian Vanilla syrup and velvety steamed milk, topped with
Starbucks Signature Espresso, vanilla bean specks and drizzle of vanilla syrup.
Note: This drink is available in hot, iced and blended beverage format. I tried the iced version and loved it more than the next drink which is the Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew. If you must only try one of the new cold brews, then make it the Tahitian Vanilla Macchiato.
Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew
This camera-ready beverage features butterfly pea flower tea – a trending ingredient in Southeast Asia, which is distinct for its natural blue shade and color-changing properties. It reacts with the lemonade to create captivating swirls.
I tried it side by side the Tahitian Macchiato, the flavors of this beverage are so playful, sweet, and tangy all at the same time. It can easily bring your thoughts back to your favorite summer escape. By the way, this is how your Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew should look like:
Ours was not as photogenic but it tasted good anyway 🙂
NEW Starbucks Food Items: Summer 2018
Level up your Starbucks food pairing skills with the newest food items on the Starbucks menu this summer. Most of these fall under the dessert category and are a perfect company for your summer coffee break.
Mango Purple Yam Bar – this dense and chewy butterscotch bar with mango bits and purple yam will make you proud of the Philippines’ tropical fruits: Mango and Ube! Who knew they can be combined to make a Starbucks worthy dessert like this?
Chocolate Doughnut Éclair – if you must eat doughnuts this summer, make it this doughnut filled with luscious cream and milk chocolate. This eclair’s filling has a touch of coolness in it that will surely tickle your warm tastebuds!
Midnight Dream Cake – summer nights and midnight snacks by the beach come into mind! This dream cake is made up of layers of moist and chewy fudge brownie, light vanilla sponge cake, crunchy hazelnut paste and velvety milk chocolate mousse finished with dark chocolate glaze.
Can you imagine all the work involved in putting this together? This cake is so good that it’s a good idea to buy it to-go and enjoy at home or pack it for your summer getaway!
Starbucks To-Go at the Beach
I did that with my Starbucks Chocolate Banana birthday cake and brought the whole cake to the beach with me!
Not all beaches have Starbucks near them (such as Boracay) but with a little effort, you can enjoy your favorite Starbucks treats anywhere too.
This seasonal blend combines all-time favorite coffees to deliver a complex, yet balanced profile. Also available in VIA® Ready Brew so you can enjoy your coffee anytime, anywhere.
If you’re heading North or South, remember that our super highways are dotted with Starbucks stores where you can take out beverages and food items to enjoy at the beach.
Keep your beverages warm or cold, save the planet, and get a discount when you use official Starbucks merchandise. Here’s the new Spring collection to choose from.
These limited-edition merchandise, featuring design elements are inspired by the cherry blossom night viewing tradition and the blushing cherry blossom.
