Starbucks has announced its 2025 summer menu, set to launch in May, featuring the return of two seasonal beverages and new items. Notably, the Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is inspired by the traditional Mexican drink Horchata. Along with this, the Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop will make its debut. The returning drinks are the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher and Summer Skies Drink, both well-received last summer, although there are discussions about cultural appropriation regarding Starbucks' term 'pearls' instead of 'boba.'
Starbucks' new summer menu for 2025 includes returning favorites and new items like an Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and a Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop.
Critics argue Starbucks' terminology shift from 'boba' to 'pearls' undermines the cultural significance of the beverage, raising concerns over cultural appropriation.
