The S'mores Frappuccino is making its long-awaited return.
The frothy creation, which first launched in 2015 and was discontinued six years ago, will be back on coffeehouse menus for a limited time starting Wednesday, July 1, with early access for Starbucks Rewards members on June 30.
The blended drink is made with milk chocolate sauce, graham cracker flavor, coffee and ice, and topped with marshmallow whipped cream and a graham crumble. The company says its comeback was “driven by popular demand from customers and baristas.”
The fan favorite will be joined by two more campfire-inspired beverages this summer.
The brand-new S'mores Cold Brew with Marshmallow Cold Foam features cold brew topped with marshmallow-flavored cold foam. It's then drizzled with chocolate and sprinkled with graham cracker topping.

And the S'mores Chai includes chai tea “infused with cozy spices” and blended with toasted marshmallow notes, milk chocolate sauce and graham cracker.
We tried both the S'mores Frappuccino and S'mores Cold Brew, and found that the marshmallow flavor and crumbled graham cracker offered a heavy dose of summertime nostalgia.
The Frappuccino is rich and more dessert-like, while the Cold Brew is likely to be our go-to morning coffee drink (but still with a decadent twist).
Earlier this month, Starbucks launched two limited-time blue coconut drinks to support Water.org's Get Blue initiative, which supports access to clean water.
The Blue Coconut Refresher includes coconut, strawberry and açaí flavors, shaken with ice and blue spirulina. It can also be ordered as a Blue Coconut Lemonade Refresher or an Ocean Drink, which has coconut milk.
The Iced Blue Coconut Matcha features mango flavors and is topped with toasted coconut cold foam. It also gets its bright color from blue spirulina.

The coffee chain recently announced that it's bringing back its Bearista Cups, which caused a viral craze in late 2025, with a new color palette for the warm weather.
The latest version of the critter-shaped cup is part of Starbucks' Pink Drink merchandise collection, and comes with a pink-and-white hat and a strawberry straw topper.
A press release says the playful product is meant to “bring the feel-good vibes and energy to the summer.”
The limited-edition Pink Bearista Glass Cold Cups can be purchased in select coffeehouses on July 13. Starbucks Rewards Reserve members can get early access starting July 9 via the Starbucks Shop.
