“When creating Starbucks White Choc Macadamia Cream Cold Brew, we were inspired by recollections of fresh macadamia nuts on tropical trips and the distinct flavor of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies,” the beverage development team explains.

The Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino is a grown-up mint chocolate chip milkshake. It has Frappuccino chips, mocha sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate cookie mint sprinkles. It's choco-icy and wonderful for a hot day.

“The new white chocolate mint sauce is delicate and creamy, and when paired with the crunch of coffee drink chips and a swirl of rich mocha, is reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream beachside on a warm summer day,” explains Starbucks beverage development team.

Coffee will benefit a worthy cause: $5 each pound-bag of Green Poncho Blend and 10 cents per brewed cup will go to the Starbucks Care Unites Partners (CUP) Fund, which helps Starbucks employees during family emergencies and natural disasters.
