This looks like that chocolate strawberry nonsense that was floating around as a "secret menu" item around Valentine's Day.

It’s a modified version of the rose quartz latte, which was a menu item in select areas (or was it nation wide?), using cold brew base instead of espresso. A drink created by a barista champion and made popular by other baristas posting it here and r/Starbucks. My bet is that’s a partner bev or a really well informed customer.
Rose quartz latte (blonde espresso recommended). Raspberry syrup, strawberry cold foam. Fun fact it actually was initially a strawberry whipped cream before they settled on cold foam. Drink was created around when cold foam launched and making a whole strawberry whipped cream, well.

The more ya know! Is it even good though? Also happy cake day

Like anything, some people like it some don’t. I’m not a fan of coffee and fruit combos. I tasted the whipped cream which was actually pretty good (some vanilla was used, tasted like strawberry shortcake). I don’t think I ever actually tasted the finished beverage just because I think raspberry and coffee is an absurd combo.
Thank you! First time in my 8 years of Reddit I’ve been wished that! Had no idea it was so close to my actual birthday.

Before quarantine started, I tried making it at my store. It’s pretty good, but I recommend omitting the raspberry syrup.
The strawberry foam is good though!

That actually sounds delicious.

Probably some idiotic Tik Tok nonsense.

That loose lid is giving me anxiety

had somebody ask for it and told them unless they can give me the recipe that we don’t know how to make it, they got a chai latte instead. i don’t mind making these drinks but when people ask for “the new” of something like it’s on our menu/we know all the secret menu items it’s frustrating

Tik tok people that give the step by step for a drink rather than telling people how to order it will be the end of me I stg

As for specifically today, I personally know that seventeen magazine reposted their article about it to Facebook this morning. I actually reread the article about an hour before I headed in for my shift.

Well it looks tasty if nothing else.

Dat cold foam to cold brew ratio

Saw a variation of it on tik tok

I remember making one of these after a coworker found the recipe online or something. Tasted better than I expected but the fruit/coffee combo was still too bizarre for me to enjoy like a whole drink of it
