Get a spell put on you with Starbucks’ Wicked collaboration
Magical Starbucks Wicked-Inspired Drinks Arrive Just in Time for Halloween
As Halloween approaches, Starbucks fall menu is expanding for a limited time. Starbucks has released a spellbinding collaboration with Universal Pictures, inspired by the beloved musical Wicked. These new beverages, along with limited-edition merchandise, capture the magic of the season while celebrating two of the most iconic witches in pop culture.
Defy Gravity with Starbucks’ New Wicked Drinks
This collaboration brings a little magic to Starbucks’ fall lineup with beverages inspired by Wicked’s iconic characters, Elphaba and Glinda. Whether you’re an iced coffee lover or prefer your drink warm, these options promise a whimsical escape into the world of Oz.
Elphaba and Glinda: The Inspiration Behind the Drinks
Elphaba: A Cold Brew as Bold as the Wicked Witch
The Elphaba-inspired cold brew is as green and powerful as the misunderstood witch herself. It features matcha and mint, blended to create a sweet, earthy drink that nods to her iconic green hue. Just like Elphaba’s defiance, this drink has bold, unexpected flavors.
“We were inspired by Elphaba’s bold energy and stunning green skin when creating this recipe,” said Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. “Our signature cold brew gets an unexpected twist of peppermint topped with a nondairy matcha cold foam for a touch of Elphaba’s famous green, finished with colorful candy sprinkles.”
Glinda: Light and Sweet, Just Like the Good Witch
In contrast, the Glinda-inspired Pink Potion offers a lighter, more refreshing experience. With fruity raspberry notes and a rosy, pink color, this beverage captures Glinda’s charm and positive spirit. It’s perfect for those who prefer a whimsical and sweet treat.
“When dreaming up this beverage, we were inspired by Glinda’s bright character and of course her iconic association with all things pink,” said Natalia Vasquez, Starbucks beverage developer. “This colorful beverage is topped with a nondairy cold foam infused with strawberry puree to add even more pops of pink, along with colorful candy sprinkles for a drink that is as vibrant as Glinda herself.”
