The two new handcrafted beverages inspired by Elphaba and Glinda will be flying into Starbucks stores starting October 22 and will only be available for a limited time.
The “thrillifying” new creation ‘Elphaba’s Cold Brew’ features Starbucks Cold Brew, “a custom blend of beans grown to steep long and cold, handcrafted in small batches daily, for a super-smooth flavor,” says the coffee house chain. The beverage “inspired by Elphaba’s bold energy and stunning green skin” is sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup and topped with silky-smooth nondairy matcha cold foam with Oz-dusting of magic in the form of colorful green candy sprinkles.
The “fantabulous” new creation ‘Glinda’s Pink Potion’ features a Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers beverage which is hand-shaken with creamy coconut milk, ice and a scoop of real, freeze-dried dragonfruit. The beverage is topped with silky-smooth nondairy strawberry cold foam, and “finished with an Oz-dusting of magic” which is colorful candy sprinkles.
