Discover the latest Starbucks seasonal drinks
Fans of Starbucks will know that each new season often ushers in a bevy of new, mouthwatering additions to the menu.
From surprisingly delicious combinations to themed beverages and everything in between, we wouldn’t blame you for looking forward to the next big holiday in the hopes that we’ll release a flavour to match.
If you’re reading this in early 2025, we’d like to introduce you to two of the latest Starbucks Australia seasonal flavours – Honey Nougat and Matcha-Misu.
Starbucks’ limited-time drinks
Alongside our delicious hand-crafted coffee, menu items that could be mistaken for works of art, and cute, cosy cafe vibes, Starbucks is known for its limited-time beverages. Something about an already irresistible seasonal beverage being available for a limited time makes it even more special.
So without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to two of our latest seasonal sips – Starbucks Honey Nougat and Matcha-Misu.
Dive into Honey Nougat
The first new flavour of the season is the indulgent Honey Nougat. Our blonde espresso is paired with milk, vanilla and sugar cane syrup, topped with a deliciously indulgent nougat foam and sprinkled with nougat topping. Or, you can get Honey Nougat sauce blended with milk and coffee (if you’d like espresso), with a whipped cream and nougat topping.
This delicious treat is available from Feb 11. You can grab it as a hot or iced Macchiato or as a standard Frappuccino® or Cream Frappuccino®.
Meet Matcha-Misu
In this delight, we’ve combined two of everyone’s favourite flavours – Matcha and Tiramisu. A complete match made in heaven, Starbucks Green Tea is mixed with milk, then topped with a mouthwatering Vanilla Mascarpone Foam and mocha powder.
From February 11, enjoy Matcha-Misu as either a hot or iced latte. Better yet, pair the beverage with our insanely tasty Starbucks Matcha-Misu Slice – you won’t regret it.
Explore the seasonal beverage range
We’re always mixing it up when it comes to the Starbucks Australia menu. In fact, here are some of the most beloved seasonal beverages we’ve previously featured.
There’s a seasonal beverage for every palate
Enjoy flavours of gingerbread, peppermint and cocoa at Christmas, savour Pumpkin Spice around Halloween and fall head over heels for our Valentine’s Day range.
But it doesn’t end there. We’ve experimented with a mixture of flavours to create all-new tastes. One was the Oleato, a combination of our Blonde Espresso and olive oil. Another addition was the Pandan Fantasy, a creation that came out of the 2024 Starbucks Pacific Barista Championships.
Sometimes, we’ll release a seasonal beverage and it’ll get so much love, once it’s gone, it’s not really gone for good. The Cinnamon Dolce range was so popular, it’s been back more than once due to demand (so if you love something, let us know!).
Starbucks offers on seasonal drinks
Just when you thought the seasonal beverages couldn’t get any better, we decided to go ahead and give you some irresistible offers. This February we have not one but TWO Frappuccino® Happy Hours on February 14 and 20. Want to be the first to know about future promos? Follow along on our socials.
We also know you love collecting Starbucks Rewards on your daily coffee, so you’ll be pleased to hear seasonal beverages count towards your total! Make sure you scan your member card when purchasing instore, or ensure you’re logged into your account when purchasing via the app.
If you never want to miss an offer on a seasonal beverage (or anything else on the menu for that matter), you should definitely join Starbucks™ Rewards. We’ll send you email updates when new beverages drop and when there are offers on your all-time favourites. Plus, some bonus stuff – like early access to limited time flavours and new merch ranges (pumpkin spice, anyone?)!
The need-to-knows about seasonal beverages
Why a limited-time only?
We get it. You’ve found your new favourite seasonal beverage and simply can’t get enough of it. But being limited edition, it’s not available forever. And we promise it’s for a good reason.
Firstly, our seasonal beverages sometimes use ingredients that are only available at a certain time of year (Pumpkin Spice, we’re looking at you).
Next, if you’ve ever had too much of a good thing, you’ll know that Starbucks’ limited time drinks ensure your favourites stay that way. Although, we would love to serve you a Honey Nougat Frappuccino® every day of the week.
And although your tastebuds might beg to differ, we avoid giving you a seasonal jump scare by only offering items that match the time of year or event. We know Christmas in July is a thing, but Christmas in May? C’mon now.
Suggest our next seasonal beverage
We love hearing from our Starbucks Australia fanatics. Is there a seasonal beverage you’ve been craving since you first tasted it? Or maybe you’ve been experimenting with flavours and believe you’ve got the idea for the next winning combo (how do you think Matcha-Misu was born?)
Why not reach out on our socials and give us a taste of what you’ve got? Who knows, you might just have the very next seasonal favourite in the making.
In the meantime, head instore or on our app to get your Honey Nougat and Matcha-Misu fix from February 11!
