October 24, 2024

On Oct. 22, Starbucks dropped two new Halloween drinks: Glinda’s Pink Potion and Elphaba’s Cold Brew. The two drinks are inspired by the new Universal Pictures’ movie “Wicked,” an adaptation of the popular musical, which will premiere in theaters on Nov. 22.

So what are these new drinks?

Glinda’s Pink Potion has a similar base to the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher, but instead of being made with water or lemonade like the refresher, Glinda’s Pink Potion is made with coconut milk, and is topped with Starbucks’ Nondairy Strawberry Cream Cold Foam as well as pink and green sprinkles.

For our coffee drinkers, the second addition to the menu is called Elphaba’s Cold Brew, a peppermint flavored cold brew topped with Starbucks’ Nondairy Matcha Cream Cold Foam, and green sprinkles of course.

In addition to the new drinks, Starbucks will also be releasing “Wicked” themed cups, in various shades of gold, green and pink, along with new gift card designs starting Nov. 7, while supplies last.
