Starbucks' Winter Menu Brings Back Pistachio-Flavored Drinks

Starbucks will give customers a final present on January 3 after the holidays. According to Mashed, the chain's winter menu includes a new drink, nibbles, and the return of fan favorites like the Pistachio Latte and Cream Cold Brew.

Starbucks' Winter 2021 Pistachio Latte—made with espresso, steamed milk, pistachio flavor, and brown-butter sprinkles—became a winter staple.

Starbucks launched a new pistachio-flavored drink in 2023 after customers raved about the delicately sweet and nutty flavor.

Starbucks' Pistachio Cream Cold Brew, made with sweetened vanilla cold brew, pistachio cold foam, and brown-butter sprinkles, was a hit with Instagram users, prompting calls for its permanent inclusion.

The Iced Hazelnut Oat Milk Shaken Espresso is another plant-based addition to Starbucks' 2024 winter menu. Like the 2022 Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Espresso, the new cocktail uses blonde espresso with hazelnut syrup

It's shaken, poured over ice, then topped with creamy oat milk for a cozy winter taste without heat.

Along with the Pistachio Latte, Cream Cold Brew, and Iced Hazelnut Oat Milk Shaken Espresso, the bakery will introduce two additional delicacies available for a limited time while supplies last.

he "high protein, vegetarian option," Potato, Cheddar & Chive Bake, contains cage-free eggs, diced potatoes, cheddar cheese, spinach, and chives. 

Starbucks is also releasing a Vanilla Bean Custard Danish for sweet starters. The discontinued Chicken, Maple Butter & Egg Sandwich will return indefinitely. Starbucks is making BYOC easier as it aims to eliminate disposable cups by 2030. 

Starting January 3, customers can use their own cup in the drive-thru or on the Starbucks app to reduce trash, receive the $0.10 cup discount, and earn Starbucks Rewards points without leaving the car.
