Starbucks Has New Drinks For Valentine’s Day

Sophia Martin

While January is typically the time for Starbucks lovers to grieve the end of the holiday menu, it is also time to unveil the pink paradise that is the Valentine’s Day season. This year, Starbucks has pulled out all of the stops for new releases and seasonal drinks leading up to February 14. In addition, Starbucks has also expanded its line of olive oil-based “Oleato” drinks. Here is the full list of new items to add to your next coffee run.

What are the new Starbucks Valentine’s Day drinks?

Aside from the new tumbler and cup collection, two drinks are coming to the menu today, January 30.

The Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino is exactly how it sounds and perfect for the season. During Valentine’s Day, one of the most loved desserts is a simple strawberry dipped in a coating of hard chocolate. This blended drink features milk, strawberry puree, and java chips — all layered on top of strawberry puree and topped with whipped cream.

If you’re in need of a coffee pick-me-up but also want to satisfy your sweet tooth, try the new Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew. This cold brew includes hazelnut syrup topped with chocolate cream cold foam and chocolate cookie crumble topping.

What else is new at Starbucks?

Also coming to Starbucks today are the Oleato drinks, which will finally be available at all U.S. stores.

The line of olive-oil based Oleato drinks first debuted in February 2023. The Oleato Golden Foam Iced Shaken Espresso with Toffeenut is the newest edition, featuring the coffee chain’s Blonde espresso with toffeenut and oatmilk, topped with Oleato Golden Foam, a lush vanilla sweet cream cold foam infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil.

The golden foam can also be added to any of your favorite iced tea lattes and refreshers, including the Iced Chai Tea Latte, Iced Matcha Tea Latte, Dragon Refresher, and Paradise Refresher.
