There is nothing better in the world than spending a cool summer night around a fire with some friends and making s’mores. The sounds of trees and crickets around you, a meaningful conversation with your friends, setting your marshmallow on fire and blowing it out in a panic; it’s the perfect combination.
Thankfully, Starbucks agrees because this summer, the beloved S’mores Frappuccino and the new S’mores Cold Brew will be hitting the menu on July 1, 2026. I got the opportunity to try it early, so here are my thoughts.
What are the new Starbucks s’mores drinks?
The S’mores Frappuccino was introduced to Starbucks menus in April 2015, with its last appearance being a brief stint six years ago in the summer of 2019. That being said, the return of this drink is highly anticipated.
The frappuccino is made from “a blend of vanilla syrup, coffee, milk and ice poured over a layer of marshmallow flavored whipped cream and milk chocolate sauce.” This mixture is then topped with even more marshmallow whipped cream and graham cracker crumble.
The new S’mores Cold Brew is your typical Starbucks cold brew sweetened with a special marshmallow syrup and topped with a marshmallow cold foam, a milk chocolate drizzle, and a dusting of graham cracker crumbs for a combination of coffee and s’mores goodness.
Should you try the new Starbucks s’mores drinks?
Bottom line: yes, yes, and absolutely. If you’re a fan of s’mores in any way, these drinks will 100% be something you like. The frappuccino tastes just like a frozen blend of marshmallow, chocolate, graham cracker, and Starbucks magic, and I’m not joking when I say the marshmallow cold foam is to die for.
Frankly, I could probably write a whole essay on how good the marshmallow cold foam is, but I’ll save it and just say this: the drinks are pretty delicious. I definitely liked the cold brew more than the frappuccino, but that’s primarily because I’m not a huge frappe person in general. If you love Starbucks frappuccinos or you just love a very sweet drink, then the S’mores frappuccino is definitely for you.
On the other hand, I really loved the cold brew. It’s definitely got that typical Starbucks cold brew flavor with just a hint of s’mores flavor from the marshmallow cold foam along with the chocolate drizzle and the graham cracker crumbs. It’s not overwhelming in any way, and it’s just a nice little addition that spices up your cold brew.
Overall, the S’mores frappuccino has certainly lived up to its hype and the S’mores Cold Brew may be one of the best things Starbucks has ever released. Don’t believe me? You can try them yourselves on July 1.
