Coffee lovers, rejoice! Participating U.S. Starbucks locations are bringing back the Cherry Mocha through Feb. 14, USA Today reports.
The drink is available hot, iced, or blended, so whether you’re in the frigid Midwest or the warm Southeast, you can enjoy this sweet treat any way you want it. Alternatively, you can say “I don’t know her” to a literal snowstorm and get an iced coffee wherever you are.
According to Thrillist, the Cherry Mocha combines mocha sauce, candied cherry syrup, espresso, and milk, and is topped with sugar and chocolate Valentine’s sprinkles. As per usual, Twitter users have some thoughts on the special drink. Some people have been eagerly awaiting its return, while others are hardly impressed. One fan compared the taste to chocolate-covered cherries.
USA Today adds that Starbucks’ Happy Hour event is also making its return on Feb. 7. This means Starbucks Rewards members can get 50 percent off many espresso drinks like the Cherry Mocha.

Not in the mood for a drink? You can still get in the holiday spirit with a Valentine’s cake pop or sugar cookie.
Starbucks is practically an expert at creating a commercial buzz around holidays and seasons at this point, what with Peppermint Mochas, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and even Witch’s Brew Frappuccinos.
Each return of the limited-time drinks, whether it happens every year or out of the blue, is often accompanied by a collective social media freakout, so much so that fall might as well be renamed “PSL Season,” as 11,000 people on Instagram have hashtagged it. People aren’t just talking about it, though; at least 350 million Pumpkin Spice Lattes (that’s at least $1.4 billion, for those keeping score at home) have been sold since the drink’s debut in 2003.
While the Cherry Mocha may not be quite as popular as everyone’s fall favorite, it’s sure to make a splash, in true Starbucks fashion.
