SEATTLE, USA — Starbucks launched its winter menu on Tuesday, January 3, featuring the return of the Pistachio Latte and with a new offering: the Pistachio Cream Cold Brew. The new handcrafted Starbucks Pistachio Cream Cold Brew features Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup, and is topped with silky pistachio cream cold foam and salted brown-buttery sprinkles.
The Pistachio Cream Cold Brew builds on customers’ love of the Pistachio Latte and the popularity of cold coffee year-round.
The Pistachio Latte was launched in Winter 2021. Whether served hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended beverage, the Pistachio Latte perfectly combines Starbucks signature espresso and milk with the cozy flavor of sweet pistachio and is finished with a salted brown butter topping.
“Pistachio is the perfect flavor to follow the holidays and carry us through the winter season,” said Rosalyn Batingan on the Starbucks beverage team.
“Its smooth and sweet profile delivers a feeling of warmth and coziness, even when served cold. With the Pistachio Cream Cold Brew, coffee lovers will savor the ultra-smooth combination of pistachio cream cold foam atop our cold brew. We are also delighted to welcome back the Pistachio Latte, which pairs our signature espresso, steamed milk, and flavors of sweet pistachio with top notes of brown butter.”
Returning to the bakery case is the Red Velvet Loaf, a vanilla cake swirled with classic red velvet cake and topped with white chocolatey icing.
Starbucks winter menu food and beverages are available at Starbucks stores nationwide for a limited time, while supplies last.
Starbucks is also introducing a new line of drinkware in pretty pastels and fresh florals to brighten the new year. Ready to keep customers’ cold beverages chilly and hot beverages cozy, the winter collection includes stainless steel tumblers, ceramic mugs, beloved cold cups, and more in a variety of cup sizes.
As always, Starbucks Rewards members who bring a clean, personal reusable cup into participating cafés will earn 25 Stars in addition to 10 cents off their beverage.*
