Starbucks Has Just Put Out Two New Surprise Drinks

Fans of the hit Broadway show “Wicked” have been looking forward to the movie for years, and with stars like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo leading the group, excitement is at an all-time high. People worldwide are fascinated by the story of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (the Good Witch) before Dorothy came to Oz. This is even more exciting now that the Universal Pictures movie version is coming out.

Even though the movie doesn’t come out until November 22, the fun has already started with a number of “Wicked”-themed projects. Fans can now enjoy special things inspired by “Wicked,” such as Starbucks’ limited-edition drinks and products.

Starbucks is giving us a taste of Oz before the movie comes out, and they also have some other fun “Wicked” treats you won’t want to miss!

A Celebration That’s Been Awaited

Wicked has been a huge hit since opening on Broadway. With songs like “Defying Gravity” and “Popular,” the musical quickly became one of the most famous on Broadway. Naturally, fans have been begging for a movie version, and in November, Wicked: Part One will finally be out in theaters, ending their wait.

This movie will bring the magical world of Oz to life like never before. Ariana Grande will play Glinda, and Cynthia Erivo will play Elphaba. Many partnerships and products have been made in honor of the movie, which makes this moment even more exciting. And no other partnership has gotten as much attention as Starbucks’ latest launch.

Starbucks Is Getting Witchy with Two New Drinks

To get people excited about the movie, Starbucks has released two new drinks based on the witches from “Wicked.” Fans can enjoy drinks based on the different characters of Glinda and Elphaba, which came out on October 22. Let us take a look at these wickedly wonderful works.

1. Glinda’s Pink Potion: A Sweet and Sparkling Drink to Feel Better

Starbucks has created a drink that perfectly captures the charm of Glinda, the Good Witch, who is known for being happy, bubbly, and a little silly. The Glinda Pink Potion is a bright pink drink that is beautiful and incredibly sweet.

Many people who like Starbucks already love the Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher, which is what the drink is made of. After being chilled, this drink is mixed with coconut milk to make it smooth and flavorful. To make the drink look even more magical, freeze-dried dragonfruit bits are mixed in. These add color and a fun, chewy texture.

The filling is what makes Glinda’s Pink Potion stand out, though. A unique strawberry cold foam made without dairy gives the drink a creamy layer and a burst of fruity sweetness at the end. Pink sparkly sprinkles are added to the foam to make it even more fun. They give it that extra sparkle that fits Glinda so well.

This fun and refreshing drink is great for people who like sweet drinks with fruit and want to be like the Good Witch.

2. Elphaba’s Cold Brew: A Strong and Strange Brew

Elaphaba’s Cold Brew is the opposite. It’s a drink that’s as wild and one-of-a-kind as the Wicked Witch herself. Many people know Elphaba for how complicated and strong she is, and her drink is just as striking as she is.

The drink starts with a base of cold beer that tastes like peppermint, which might not seem like a fall flavor. For coffee lovers who love peppermint, though, it’s a fun taste of what’s to come with Starbucks’ holiday flavors. The peppermint makes the cold brew taste even better, giving you a strong but refreshing coffee experience.

A creamy, non-dairy matcha cold foam is poured on the cold brew. This gives the drink a smooth texture and bright green color, reminding us of Elphaba’s skin. Green sprinkles are added to the drink to finish it off. This last touch makes this cold brew feel truly “Wicked.”

Elaphaba’s Cold Brew will surely be a hit with people who like strong coffee tastes with a cool twist. It has just the right amount of cool peppermint and dark, rich coffee, making it a great choice as the weather gets cooler.

Wicked-Themed Goods: Things Every Witch Will Want to Collect

Along with the fun new drinks, Starbucks also puts out many items inspired by “Wicked.” Fans who want to take some of Oz everywhere will love these things.

As of November 7, Starbucks will have five special sets based on a different part of “Wicked.” The magical goods drop has something for everyone, whether you’re on Team Glinda, Team Elphaba, or just a fan of all things Oz. Take a look at what’s coming up.

1. The Glinda Collection: Pretty in Pink and Glitter

The Glinda Collection has things that fans of the Good Witch will love because they capture her spirit of light, joy, and sparkle. This set includes two cold cups, a mug, and a keychain, all decorated in Glinda’s signature pink colors. This collection’s bright designs will make your daily life more fun.

2. The Elphaba Collection: A Dark and Mysterious Look

On the other hand, people who like Elphaba will love the Elphaba Collection, which has soft greens and blacks that show how darker and more complicated she is. This line has two cold cups, a mug, and a charm, just like Glinda’s Collection. The designs are big and mysterious, just like Elphaba. They’re great for people who like her rebellious spirit.

3. The Emerald City Collection Has Bright Gold and Greens

This collection brings to life the grandeur and magic of Oz’s capital city. This set has four of the same things (cold cups, tumblers, keychains, and tumblers) but with a twist: they all have bright green and gold patterns that look like the heart of Oz. If you want your daily items to have the lively energy of Oz, the Emerald City Collection is great for you.

4. The Wicked Collection as a Whole: A Mix of Pink and Green

The General Wicked Collection is great if you like both witches and can’t decide which one to get. The pink of Glinda and the green of Elphaba are mixed in this collection to make a set of things that honor the magic of “Wicked” as a whole. Fans will want to go to their local Target to get these one-of-a-kind things because they will only be available at Target Starbucks shops.

5. The Discovery Series Collection Pays Tribute to Wicked’s Most Famous Places

Last but not least, Starbucks is releasing a Discovery Series Collection that honors some of the most famous places in the world of “Wicked.” This collection of mugs, like Starbucks’ popular city and state mugs, is based on places like Shiz University, Munchkinland, and the Emerald City. However, these unique mugs will only be sold at Universal theme parks. This makes them even more special for fans who want to go to Oz (or Universal Studios).

Conclusion

These new drinks and items aren’t just a celebration of the future movie; they’re also a way for “Wicked” fans to bring the show’s magic into their daily lives. There are many ways for fans to connect with the Wizard of Oz world before the movie comes out. You can drink a Glinda Pink Potion, enjoy an Elphaba Cold Brew, or get a souvenir mug or glass.

Here are the days until November 22. You don’t have to wait to start celebrating, though. Fans will love these treats that are based on Wicked. They will make them dance all the time and get even more excited about what’s to come in Oz.
