Experience the Spiciest Summer with Starbucks New Spicy Lemonade Refreshers®
Mexico City, Mexico – This summer vacation, Starbucks Mexico will surprise its customers with the launch of two new and exciting beverages inspired by the “swicy” trend, which creatively combines sweet and spicy flavors. Starting from July 22, 2024, and for a limited time, the new Spicy Mango Dragonfruit and Spicy Strawberry Açaí beverages will be available in all Starbucks stores in Mexico.
Starbucks is making a strong entrance with the introduction of the new Spicy Lemonade Refreshers® beverages in two tropical flavors: Spicy Mango Dragonfruit, featuring a sweet taste with pieces of dragonfruit and Starbucks spicy chili powder, and Spicy Strawberry Açaí, a treat that combines strawberry, açaí, and Starbucks chili powder.
These two new sips bring together the sweetness of a Starbucks Refresher® beverage, the tanginess of lemonade, and the spiciness of Starbucks chili powder to create an intense, refreshing, and stimulating sip.
“Around the world, this flavor trend has become popular in many cuisines, appearing in a wide variety of culinary preparations, from sauces and dressings to appetizers and main dishes. While some people might find the combination of flavors unusual, swicy foods are a delicious way to expand the boundaries of flavor as we know it. You may have already tried ‘sweet and sour’ foods, and swicy foods offer a similar experience with an added touch of intensity”, said Bibiana Rosique, Marketing Director of Starbucks Mexico.
The “swicy” trend has gained popularity worldwide, referring to the combination of sweet and spicy flavors in a variety of foods and beverages. This flavor fusion offers a unique sensory experience that has captured the attention of food enthusiasts. The combination of sweet and salty flavors has been popular for years, and now the “swicy” flavor is emerging as a new trend.
“Our goal is to combine the exceptional Starbucks Experience with the culture and preferences of our customers in Mexico. The launch of these new beverages reflects our commitment to continuous innovation and our passion for offering products that resonate with current trends”, added Bibiana Rosique. “We are excited to see how our customers will enjoy these new and exciting flavor combinations”.
The Starbucks Spicy Lemonade Refresher® Mango Dragonfruit and Starbucks Spicy Lemonade Refresher® Strawberry Açaí will be available for a limited time or while supplies last.
