These new drinks get their sparkle from sparkling water and will finally bring America's favorite beverages, coffee and seltzer, together under one white and green cup! This new menu will include three items: the Sparkling Cold-Pressed Americano, the Cold-Pressed Ginger Fizz, and the Cold-Pressed Americano Exploration Flight.
The Sparkling Cold-Pressed Americano is a shot of cold-pressed espresso that's poured over sparkling water and served over ice. The Cold-Pressed Ginger Fizz is cold-pressed espresso infused ginger, which is poured over barrel-aged vanilla syrup and finished with grapefruit bitters.
And don't worry, the Cold-Pressed Americano Exploration Flight sounds amazing, too! It's a tasting flight that lets you taste the new drinks and features three drinks: a Cold-Pressed Americano, the Sparkling Cold-Pressed Americano, and one traditional Iced Americano.
“From Cold Brew to Starbucks Draft, we have been building a cold coffee platform that not only appeals to our customers, but acknowledges that cold beverages are no longer just seasonal,” Starbucks president and ceo Kevin Johnson said in an official press release. “This new technique, which produces a dense shot of cold-pressed espresso, is the next step in our cold coffee journey and the perfect ingredient to design a menu of cold espresso or coffee options. We believe the opportunities are limitless.”
