Yahoo Lifestyle Starbucks’ Newest In-Store Product Has Fans Saying ‘Yes Please’
Starbucks fans will be able to enjoy an ever-expanding lineup of at-home offerings if current trends continue, and not all of its latest innovations will be coffee-related.
While the company only recently released a new line of premium instant coffee with its Crema Collection (which won us over), it's brewing up a release that could be even bigger–depending on who you ask.

Those looking to replace their afternoon coffee with another caffeinated pick-me-up will thoroughly be pleased with the upcoming release of Starbucks Iced Energy Drinks. The new line of canned energy drinks was previously leaked this past fall, but at the time, little information was available. All fans knew was that the popular cafe chain had plans to release a tropical fruit-inspired flavor in addition to an all-new "Lite" line of ready-to-drink Frappuccinos.
Fast forward five months and more insights on the new coffee-free sips have been unveiled.
The new lineup includes more than just the one flavor that leaked in September, but a couple more that had been hush-hush until now. According to new product listing pages from Instacart, Starbucks' new Iced Energy Drinks will be available in three flavors: Watermelon Twist, Tropical Peach and Blueberry Lemonade.
Similar to other popular energy drinks, these new additions from Starbucks are carbonated, made with caffeine derived from Green Coffee Bean Extract and sucralose to be zero sugar. Each can includes 160mg of caffeine (or just over the equivalent found in one and a half cups of coffee) and several other vitamins and minerals–like Panax Ginseng Extract and several B vitamins–to help with "mental focus."
As for when shoppers can expect to see them on store shelves, reputable food blogger known online as Markie_Devo claimed to be tipped off by a Starbucks employee who expects the new line to be sold at major retailers nationwide beginning this spring.
A rep for Starbucks did not immediately return Parade's request for comment.
Fans can hardly wait for their big debut, with many rejoicing over how the new additions feel nostalgic and remind them of the canned Starbucks Refreshers that were once available.
"Watermelon and peach?!" as second shared in excitement. "Yesssss."
"These look good!" another exclaimed.
"Hoping the peach can fill the hole that peach redbull left," someone else admitted.
"😮❤️ Yes please," one more declared.
