Starbucks Wicked Drinks: Starbucks is brewing up something special for fans of both coffee and musicals. In an exciting partnership with Universal Pictures, the coffee giant has launched two limited-edition Wicked-inspired drinks, along with a dazzling line of themed merchandise, to celebrate the highly anticipated release of the movie Wicked on November 22, 2024.
Starting Tuesday, October 22, 2024, fans can enjoy these unique handcrafted beverages that are as enchanting as the beloved characters they represent. Inspired by Glinda and Elphaba, these drinks bring the Wicked magic to life in every sip.
Glinda’s Pink Potion: A Sweet, Colorful Treat
The first drink, Glinda’s Pink Potion, perfectly captures the vibrant and bubbly personality of the Good Witch of the North. This concoction is a Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher, shaken with creamy coconut milk, ice, and real freeze-dried dragonfruit. Topped with nondairy strawberry cold foam and pink candy sprinkles, this drink is as bright and sweet as Glinda herself.
Elphaba’s Cold Brew: Bold and Mysterious
For those who prefer a bolder flavor, Elphaba’s Cold Brew will not disappoint. Inspired by the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West, this Starbucks Cold Brew is sweetened with peppermint syrup and crowned with a matcha-infused nondairy cold foam, finished with green candy sprinkles for a bewitching twist.
Starbucks beverage developer Natalia Vasquez shares, “We wanted these drinks to embody the essence of Glinda and Elphaba, just as they do in the film. Glinda’s Pink Potion is as vibrant as her character, while Elphaba’s Cold Brew channels her bold energy and iconic green skin.”
Wicked-Themed Merchandise Launching Soon
In addition to the drinks, Starbucks will roll out an exclusive Wicked-themed merchandise line starting on November 7, 2024. Fans can get their hands on limited-edition tumblers, cold cups, mugs, keychains, and more. The collection includes Glinda-inspired pink floral designs and Elphaba-themed green and black tumblers with a glow-in-the-dark “Defy Gravity” print. Prices range from $27.95 to $34.95, making them a must-have for both coffee lovers and Wicked fans.
This collaboration is only available for a limited time, so don’t miss out on the chance to experience Starbucks’ Wicked drinks and merchandise as you await the movie’s release. Whether you’re a fan of Glinda’s sparkle or Elphaba’s edge, Starbucks has brewed up something magical for everyone
