New Starbucks holiday drinks: Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew, holiday cold foam

Starbucks is launching its first-ever launch of holiday refreshers with the new Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, turning bright red cranberries—a longtime signature of the season—into a star menu item.

Customers can also order the drink as a Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher or have it made into a Cran-Merry Drink with the addition of coconut milk.

“These drinks were very much inspired by this idea of ​​a celebratory punch as a sensory experience — the look, the aroma, the taste,” said Billy Altieri, senior beverage developer for Starbucks, in an announcement about the new menu items.

Altieri said the drink combines sweet orange and warm spices to complement the crisp cranberry flavor.

All three of the new iced drinks can be customized to order with the addition of a seasonal holiday cold foam.

New cold foam flavors, which can be made without milk and added as a customization to drinks for a fee, include Gingerbread Cream and Salted Pecan Cream.

Recurring cold foam flavors include peppermint chocolate cream, sugar cookie cream, chestnut praline cream, and caramel brulee cream cold foam, the last of which is the only option not available in a dairy-free format.

Another new drink this season that uses the sweet foam component is the Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew. This sweet and spicy drink is made with Starbucks Cold Brew and sweetened with a hint of vanilla, topped with salted pecan cream cold foam and a crunchy pecan-flavored sugar.

Starbucks’ seasonal drinks are returning to the coffee shop’s menus

The Seattle-based coffee chain is also bringing back some fan-favorite handcrafted espresso drinks, which include Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte and Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte.

The new Turkey Sage Danish is a flaky, spicy pastry filled with turkey sausage and a creamy bechamel sauce.

New sweets include personal-sized Dark Toffee Bundt Cakes, simple iced Penguin Shortbread Cookies and Snowman Cake Pops made with vanilla cake and buttercream dipped in white chocolate frosting.

Sugar Plum Cheese Danishes and Cranberry Bliss Bars both return to the pastry case this season.

Starbucks will also offer three seasonal whole bean coffee blends in stores throughout November and December, including the Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend, the Starbucks Christmas Blend, which is back for its 40th year, and the Starbucks Holiday Blend.

Starbucks Reserve adds three new holiday drinks

At US Starbucks Reserve Roasteries and stores in Seattle, Chicago and New York City, customers can try three exclusive new beverages featuring an iconic holiday flavor – eggnog.

Reserve locations will offer Iced Caramel Brulée Eggnog Lattes, Eggnog Espresso Martini and Fog Nog Tea Lattes.

The new holiday menu will be available in Starbucks stores nationwide beginning November 7 for a limited time.
