Say hello to summer
Starbucks® is taking cold drinks to the next level this year.
It’s not just about cooling down on hot days, but about small seasonal moments that can slow the day down, boost energy and improve your mood. The summer menu is built on a simple idea: to reward, recharge and refresh — exactly when it’s needed.
A flavour that started as a trend
The main star of this summer is the Caramelised Banana flavour. It began quietly as a viral combination of espresso, ice and banana purée that quickly captured the attention of coffee lovers around the world. Why? The natural sweetness of banana gently balances the bitterness of coffee, creating a flavour that feels both new and familiar. It doesn’t overpower — it complements. This balance is what turned it into a trend, soon expanding into other drinks, including matcha, where it beautifully enhances its earthy profile. Starbucks now takes this trend further with caramelisation, adding depth, subtle sweetness and a lightly dessert‑like character.
Coffee innovation: banana in the spotlight
The summer menu introduces new combinations built around coffee, matcha and the flavour of caramelised banana:
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Oat Shaken Espresso
Light Blonde Espresso shaken with ice and banana syrup, finished with an oat drink for a smooth, velvety finish.
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Latte (also available hot)
A combination of milk, espresso and caramelised banana, topped with airy cold foam.
Iced Caramelised Banana Flavour Matcha Latte
An unexpectedly harmonious pairing. Sweet banana and gently earthy matcha create a balanced, calming flavour profile.
A gentle summer treat you’ll simply fall in love with.
