Drinks in development, that are being tested in select stores. I think in the dark is a drink with coffee boba.

I thought it was another name for a red eye lol. Espresso shot in the dark roast
aee7852 points1y ago
I think shot in the dark is a red eye in dark roast. And In the dark is the new boba drink. Because we not make everything as confusing as possible. They need to get some baristas into research and development so it starts to make sense.
cookiemonstah8721 points1y ago
Shot in the dark is a common drink at non-starbucks coffee shops. It's literally a shot of espresso in dark roast
Xelerak3 points1y ago
An espresso shot in a dark roast is a "bold red eye".

no that’s called “iced chai with guava popping pearls”
I swear to GOD if we don’t get a lavender syrup/powder/SOMETHING I will CRYYYY (rose blossom also sounds so delicious 😭😭😭)
acnh1222113 points1y ago
I’ve been saying for months now though that as much as I would love having a lavender latte, I feel like the Starbucks version of a lavender syrup will taste fake and like chemicals 😕 I have low expectations
sh3nan1gans_28 points1y ago
I feel like it would too. Especially after that toasted vanilla.. that tasted like straight up chapstick
demigirlhailee19 points1y ago
there's so many things people compare it too. one of my baristas first reaction was "it tastes like the inside of Victoria's secret"
ShannyES15 points1y ago
It would FOR SURE taste like grandmas decorative soaps.
demigirlhailee9 points1y ago
I misread "soaps" as "soups" and thought that your grandma was a very interesting person
ShannyES2 points1y ago
😂😂 she’s pretty interesting. But not decorative soups interesting. 😂😂

I heard that lavender is only available in Canada. I heard not that I know lol
Informal_Ad62838 points1y ago
We don’t have lavender in canada :/
TheRealStraz2 points1y ago
Aw and here I was wanting to try some whenever I went over😭😭
dahmerpalms4 points1y ago
We used to have a honey lavender syrup here in Canada but it wasn’t very popular at all
ProfessionalRock79404 points1y ago
I've been making lavender syrup at home and bringing it in for partners looool

SnooShortcuts857024 points1y ago
my first thought was praying they’ll add this to the menu 😩
caitlin_marie_gg57 points1y ago
tropic like its hot is from the starbucks reserve in palm springs i think those are all reserve drinks
DCAchele12 points1y ago
Yep! $1 was pretty good. One of those is a cold brew float, that’s what my BIL got. I can’t remember what else we had but the reserve store had a separate bar for the reserve drinks, and they all came only in Grande. One barista dedicated to those drinks. It was an interesting experience!
monochromaticcat56 points1y ago
LAVENDER!’ LAVENDER COME ON YESSSSSSS this is like the eighth time I’ve said I want a lavender syrup on this sub. Chai and oat milk tho? Wtf. Just put it in an earl gray or any black iced tea i reallyyy don’t think it goes well with the taste of chai :( like the chai is already sweet and i don’t think cinnamon/spicy flavor like chai goes well with a floral taste but what do I know lmao
hecaete4719 points1y ago
Omg you haven’t tried a lavender chai before?? The Starbucks in the mall I work at closed and so I go to the Nordstrom E-Bar cafe for my caffeine fix. They have a lavender chai that I order iced, with oat milk, and dirty w/ 2 espresso shots. It’s magical. That particular oat milk lavender chai latte is a fantastic combination.
KittenG8r8 points1y ago
Nordstrom E-Bar was also my lavender oat milk chai dealer. OMG so good.
monochromaticcat2 points1y ago
I have not! But I’ll take your word for it! I’ve only ever had lavender in a London fog lol
hecaete472 points1y ago
Ok! There’s your baseline. Earl Grey & chai are both black teas, one just more flavorful/has more spices than the other. So London fog & chai latte are both black tea + milk, so if you like lavender in one… 🤷♀️

I mean the menu title is Drink Test Items. They're test items only available at select testing stores.
graylikesoap [OP]26 points1y ago
well yeah i was just hoping someone new what the drinks actually were😭 thank you !
TechnicalCap661912 points1y ago
I believe the Golden Ice involves Golden Ginger Powder
TarantulaTeeth1314 points1y ago
I went somewhere awful tbh 😭🤣
mrcupcake1835 points1y ago
Tropic like it’s hot?! Omg I want this to be official so I can hear someone try to order this with a straight face 😂
sir_ramen18 points1y ago
Requires a convertible vehicle. All occupants of said vehicle must be twerking while they pull up to the hand off window.
caitlin_marie_gg9 points1y ago
it is official at the starbucks reserve in palm springs!
DCAchele3 points1y ago
This is true, I had it there in July! Here it is: $1
Gloriosus7471 points1y ago
That name's hilarious, somebody in the marketing division had a bright day there
kqs1326 points1y ago
I just want a lavender white mocha. I've put it in the partner surveys every week and they clearly don't listen lol
I’d be stoked for lavender tbh and the rose. That sounds awesome
Silver_Shards10 points1y ago
You can make the tropic like it’s hot, it thankfully doesn’t have odd ingredients. We tried it at our store one night, it’s like a weird flavored blended lemonade. Very refreshing
madsthegamer138 points1y ago
well how do i
Silver_Shards7 points1y ago
If I remember right it was guava, lemonade, and frap base with ice. If you tap the button on the register it has the abbreviations code
madsthegamer1314 points1y ago
oh.. we don’t have guava
Snowbunny_025 points1y ago
Try it with peach instead :)
That_Galaxy_RedPanda6 points1y ago
Blue Tropic sounds really interesting. I’ve been wanting a blue color, though I’m sure we’d get a huge rush of TikTok rainbow drinks •__•
Upstairs_Raise74505 points1y ago
They're trial items. Some stores get them, some don't.
kimememememe4 points1y ago
AYO THOSE LAVENDER AND ROSE DRINKS SOUND SO GOOD (if they’re bad and this comment ages poorly I’ll cry)
sh3nan1gans_3 points1y ago
LAVENDER CHAI!!! if this doesn’t become a thing at all stores I’m gonna cry
jazzysoranio3 points1y ago
Golden ice?! Sounds like the kind of snow you’re not supposed to eat.
CanterinoParadiso3 points1y ago

2624starbs3 points1y ago

tippinfedora3 points1y ago

I only know in the dark. It’s just a red eye😂😂
RexRoman202 points1y ago
Starbucks Reserve store drinks. Tropic like it’s hot is actually pretty good. They had all these flavors in the Seattle store when I went.
Jaded_Fun_71332 points1y ago
Show the right side of the screen when you press on the so we can see what’s in some of them!!!!!
Necessary_Low9392 points1y ago
