Starbucks just released 3 new summer drinks — and tips on how to customize

Starbucks

The end of summer just got a little sweeter. This week, Starbucks introduced its Summer Menu Remix featuring twists on three customer-favorite cold drinks. And to make things even better, each drink comes with a Starbucks-recommended customization you can add when you order online or in the app. We're feeling very thirsty all of a sudden.

These 3 drinks will cool you down during the last days of summer

The three new drinks all look delicious.

There's the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew with Caramel Syrup, a twist on the fan-favorite Sweet Cream Cold Brew. This one promises to be much sweeter and more decadent, so try it out when you need a dessert or sweet treat. And to customize it, add "line the cup" to line your cup with an extra caramel drizzle.

The next drink is an Iced Chai Latte, a classic drink Starbucks lovers know well. But to remix it, customize the drink by adding Matcha Cream Cold Foam. That way, you get the flavors of two different teas — and a whole different texture experience that's especially refreshing on a hot day.

And finally, there's the Iced Black Tea Lemonade. This Arnold Palmer-style drink mixes refreshing iced tea with sweet lemonade. But to remix the drink, Starbucks recommends customizing it by getting it blended with ice. The result is a smoothie-style beverage that will cool you down even more.
