Originally launched in 2015, the S’mores Frappuccino quickly became a fan favourite before being discontinued in 2017. The chain has indicated that the decision to bring it back stems from a strong demand expressed by both customers and baristas. The drink is a tantalising blend of milk chocolate sauce, graham cracker flavour, coffee, and ice, topped with fluffy marshmallow whipped cream and a dusting of graham cracker crumble—perfect for evoking summer vibes.
In addition to the return of this beloved beverage, Starbucks is introducing two new drinks inspired by the campfire experience this summer. The S’mores Cold Brew, featuring cold brew coffee topped with marshmallow-flavoured cold foam, is drizzled with chocolate and adorned with a graham cracker sprinkle. This refreshing twist on traditional cold brew is seen as an ideal choice for those looking for a morning pick-me-up with a hint of decadence.
The other new offering, the S’mores Chai, fuses classic chai tea with warm spices and notes of toasted marshmallow, enriched with milk chocolate sauce and graham cracker flavour. Early taste tests have suggested that both drinks, particularly the S’mores Frappuccino and S’mores Cold Brew, bring about a strong sense of nostalgia for summer, combining delectable flavours reminiscent of campfire nights.
Earlier this month, Starbucks introduced two limited-time blue coconut drinks as part of their initiative to support Water.org’s Get Blue campaign, aimed at providing access to clean drinking water globally. One of these drinks, the Blue Coconut Refresher, combines flavours of coconut, strawberry, and açaí, all blended with blue spirulina. A variation, the Ocean Drink, can be ordered as a lemonade refresher featuring the same vibrant flavour profile but with an added lemonade twist. The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha has also taken centre stage, showcasing mango flavours topped with toasted coconut cold foam for an extra touch.
In addition to these innovative drinks, Starbucks is bringing back its Bearista Cups, which created a sensation in late 2025. This new collection of cups features a playful pink and white design, including a matching hat and a fruity straw topper, perfect for summer aesthetics. Marketed as part of the Pink Drink merchandise collection, these limited-edition Bearista Glass Cold Cups will be available at select locations starting 13 July, with rewards members eligible for early access on 9 July.
Starbucks continues to innovate and celebrate the summertime atmosphere with these new and returning drinks, aiming to create joyful experiences for their customers. The relaunch of classic items like the S’mores Frappuccino, paired with unique offerings like the S’mores Cold Brew and S’mores Chai, reflects the chain’s commitment to meeting customer desires and enhancing their menu.
For fans of these seasonal delights, the return of the S’mores Frappuccino not only signifies the start of summer but also delivers a cherished flavour combination that is both nostalgic and refreshing. With the addition of new campfire-inspired drinks, Starbucks is poised to offer a delightful experience that makes the most of the warm weather and the joys of summer.
