Johannesburg, South Africa – Starbucks SA is thrilled to announce the launch of two novel Autumn drinks that are sure to delight coffee lovers and foodies alike.
Customers can appreciate the recent Salted Pretzel Hot Chocolate and Chocolatey Pretzel Coffee Frappuccino in Starbucks stores nationwide.
Inspired by the simple snack, the Salted Pretzel Hot Chocolate combines the perfect blend of sweet and salty pretzel flavours with rich hot chocolate, creating a warm and indulgent beverage that’s a truly unique treat. Topped with a chocolatey whip and crunchy pretzel pieces, this palatable drink is perfect for those who fancy a dinky bit of crunch with their chocolatey goodness.
For those looking for a refreshing option, the Chocolatey Pretzel Coffee Frappuccino offers the same sweet and salty pretzel taste, blended with rich chocolate and coffee notes in our iconic Frappuccino blend. Topped with a chocolatey whip and crunchy pretzel pieces, this creamy and delectable drink is the perfect way to welcome the autumn season.
But that’s not all – Starbucks SA is also launching a novel tropical-inspired Refresha in May. The Mango Dragonfruit Refresha is crafted with a colourful combination of sweet mango and dragonfruit flavours, hand shaken with ice and finished with diced dragonfruit pieces. This light and refreshing drink offers a taste of the tropics, perfect for those warm spring days.
Dragonfruit has a mildly sweet and refreshing flavour that some say is a cross between a pear and a kiwi, while others may say it more like a mix between a melon and a strawberry. The only way you’ll be able to narrate its unique taste is to try it for yourself!
“We’re excited to introduce these modern drinks to our customers, and we can’t wait to hear their feedback,” said Ishan Natalie. “Our current Salted Pretzel Hot Chocolate and Chocolatey Pretzel Coffee Frappuccino offer a unique combination of sweet and salty flavors, while our Mango Dragonfruit Refresha provides a refreshing taste of the tropics.”
