Starbucks Customers ‘Love’ This Viral Drink Menu Hack
- Starbucks has introduced a new Cherry Cold Foam to accompany its Iced Cherry Chai beverage, which customers are loving and finding creative ways to enjoy, such as adding it to iced matcha or iced mocha.
Another day, another Starbucks drink menu hack goes viral .
The fan-favorite coffee chain regularly releases new and innovative menu items to match the season, with many of the offerings going on to be instant hits that fans hope to see return year after year (like its spring -exclusive lavender menu , for instance).
This year, Starbucks debuted a Cherry Cold Foam with its new Iced Cherry Chai beverage and customers love the flavor so much that they've found several ways to enjoy it–at least two of which are earning high praise online.
Last week, Starbucks shared a video suggesting fans try the Cherry Cold Foam on another popular pick, its iced matcha (which, by the way, is now unsweetened ). "Putting you on to this one: iced matcha + cherry cream cold foam," the company joked in the caption of its April 2 upload.
"I did this the first day it dropped," one Instagram user admitted . "Soo good!"
"My fave rn," someone else agreed via TikTok before a third wrote, "Love."
"hear me out," one more TikToker wrote in response to the now-viral video. "Iced mocha w cherry cold foam."
It could be a coincidence or the company is just actively listening to its customers, as on Tuesday, it shared its official recipe recommendation for re-creating the custom drink, which it dubbed the concoction "a dreamy Iced Mocha with Cherry Cold Foam and Cherry Crunch Topping."
It features Starbucks full-bodied espresso, decadent mocha sauce, milk and ice, that's then topped with cherry cream cold foam and cherry crunch topping.
"Customers can order an Iced Caffè Mocha , remove the whipped cream and add Cherry Cream Cold Foam and Cherry Crunch Sweet Topping," according to a statement shared with Parade . "They can also order the beverage with a few taps on Instagram , when visiting 'The Not-So-Secret Menu ' Broadcast Channel."
The chain of coffee shops also recommended several other ways to enjoy its fruity new addition (both with or without coffee).
Starbucks recommends pairing its Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew with Cherry Cream Cold Foam; its Blonde Oatmilk Latte with three scoops of cherry sweet powder, the Venti Iced Doppio Espresso with Cherry Cream Cold Foam and two pumps of white mocha and a splash of oatmilk. Or try the Venti Strawberry Açaí Lemonade Refresher and replace the strawberries with two scoops of cherry sweet powder.
