Starbucks is celebrating the red, white, and blue with a special drink available for a very limited amount of time.
Beginning Tuesday, July 1, Starbucks is celebrating the 4th of July with a drink they've dubbed the Firework Frappuccino. This drink is only available in U.S. Starbucks cafés from July 1 until July 7 and only while supplies last.
The Fourth of July drink is, of course, layered in red, white, and blue, with a sweet and tangy flavor that comes courtesy of the chain’s Summer-Berry Refresher. This version, though, comes blended with coconut milk and poured over raspberry-flavored pearls, which are like Starbucks’ version of boba. Add a swirl of strawberry, top with vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and enjoy.

This is just one of the chain's summer menu items and sounds like it would pair well with their new Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop for anyone seeking a sweet treat,
Starbucks fans are used to the coffee chain teasing them with limited-time seasonal drinks like the Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread Lattes in the holiday season. In warmer months they roll out fun Frappuccino flavors, like the summery Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, and this particular offering is as fleeting as a firework.
Customers hoping to try the patriotic beverage will need to visit a local Starbucks very soon. Anyone who misses their chance to try the Fourth of July special can always enjoy a Summer-Berry Refresher or a coconut-milk-based Summer Skies Drink instead, while dreaming of America and humming the "Star-Spangled Banner".
