Another day, another international, limited-edition Starbucks drink I’m mad I can’t try. This time, the coffee giant is dropping a color-changing cold brew, but good luck getting your hands on it here in the states.
According to Delish, Starbs announced on Monday that beginning February 20, the company’s stores in Asia will offer a drink called a Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew. In case you somehow couldn’t already tell from the name, this isn’t your average cold brew. The iced drink looks like a regular cold brew on top, and transitions with an ombre-like effect to a purple bottom layer. The Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew’s layered look comes from a blue-tinted tea, Butterfly Pea Flower, which makes up its bottom layer. It blends with a middle layer of lemonade, topped off with coffee.
While I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the way tea, lemonade and cold brew coffee sound together (I mean, I won’t knock it until I try it, which probably won’t happen any time soon), it’s definitely one of Starbucks’ most Instagrammable creations to-date.
In case a three-in-one drink just isn’t your jam, the company announced its Asian stores will also be gaining a Macadamia Cocoa Cappuccino, using macadamia cocoa sauce and topped with crumbled macadamia nuts, graham crackers and chocolate drizzle, as well as a Tahitian Vanilla Macchiato.
Of course, its unfortunately unlikely we’ll be seeing any of these drinks stateside any time soon — but that doesn’t mean we won’t be swooning over that purple swirl in the meantime and counting down the days until cold brew weather finally hits in a few weeks.
