Midyear arrives with energy already in motion—routines begin to shift, days stretch longer, and each moment feels filled with possibility. There’s still time to reset, realign, and choose how to make the most of what lies ahead. This summer, Starbucks invites customers across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to embrace the season with beverages designed to refresh, uplift, and turn everyday moments into something special.

As the atmosphere fills with vibrant energy and opportunities to connect, Starbucks coffeehouses become the perfect destination to pause, recharge, and share meaningful moments—whether under the sun or beneath our iconic green umbrellas.

A season of refreshment and craft

Leading the season is the new Cheesecake Frappuccino® Blended Beverages, available in Strawberry Cheesecake and Dulce de Leche Cheesecake flavors. Inspired by beloved dessert flavors, these beverages blend vanilla mascarpone syrup with milk and ice to create a smooth, creamy texture, layered with rich mascarpone whipped cream, strawberry or dulce de leche sauce, and finished with a crunchy cookie topping.

Crafted to transform a classic dessert into a refreshing beverage experience, each sip delivers a balance of indulgence and smoothness—bringing familiar flavors into a new, summery moment that invites customers to slow down and enjoy.

Also, returning this season are the vibrant and playful Starbucks Pearls Refreshers®, a summer favorite that brings together fruity flavors and refreshing textures. Beverages include the Iced Matcha with Raspberry Pearls, Strawberry Crème Frappuccino® Blended Beverage with Raspberry Pearls, Berry Pearls Refresher, Berry Pearls Lemonade Refresher, and Skies Pearls Drink – each creating a dynamic, multi-sensory experience bursting with color, flavor, and energy, perfect for warm days and spontaneous moments.

Together, these seasonal offerings highlight Starbucks barista craft, transforming flavors customers love into elevated, handcrafted drinks designed to delight throughout the season. Whether it is a spontaneous outing or a moment to recharge, Starbucks summer beverages invite customers to explore, indulge, and enjoy every moment at their own pace.

“At Starbucks, we believe summer is all about enjoying, exploring, and sharing meaningful moments. Our seasonal beverages are crafted to accompany our customers through every experience, bringing together refreshing flavors and the artistry of our baristas,” said Cristian Paredes Costa, senior manager, brand & product marketing for Starbucks LAC.

Celebrating coffee craftsmanship

This season, the brand reintroduces Starbucks® Single-Origin Colombia Nariño whole bean coffee, inviting customers to rediscover its distinctive profile, while Starbucks® Single-Origin Perú Mujeres de Junín continues to be available for a limited time following its recent offering.

These coffees bring to the forefront the richness, diversity, and global importance of the region’s coffee heritage—celebrating two distinctive origins that have shaped Starbucks coffee legacy.

  • Starbucks® Single-Origin Colombia Nariño offers a balanced cup with notes of hazelnut and dusted cocoa, grown in the unique region where the Andes Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. Sourced from one of Colombia’s most renowned coffee regions, it reflects the market’s deep-rooted coffee tradition and the exceptional conditions that make Latin America one of the most important coffee-growing regions in the world.
  • Starbucks® Single-Origin Perú Mujeres de Junín celebrates the women farmers of the Junín region, with notes of sweet meringue and chocolate, highlighting the richness of Peru’s highlands and Starbucks ongoing commitment to coffee-growing communities. Grown at high altitudes where the Andes meet the rainforest, this coffee showcases the unique microclimates of the region while honoring the leadership and legacy of women at origin—further highlighting the cultural richness and enduring significance of Latin America’s coffee communities.

A colorful expression of summer

To complement the season, Starbucks introduces a vibrant merchandise collection, designed to accompany every moment. From bold, colorful designs inspired by sunny escapes to special collections celebrating connection and self-expression—including Pride, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher’s Day and a gaming-inspired capsule—these limited-edition items bring both style and functionality to everyday routines.

A destination for summer joy

The launch of Starbucks summer beverages marks a moment to reconnect with what makes the season special, such as long days, spontaneous plans, and the simple joy of sharing time together. Whether embracing adventure or slowing down to recharge, Starbucks coffeehouses offer a welcoming space to indulge, refresh, and create meaningful memories.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one perfectly crafted beverage to make summer feel a little brighter—and every moment a little more joyful.
