For the holidays, Starbucks is adding a new beverage to its menu in the United States and Canada with a creation called Irish Cream Cold Brew, which is officially the second-ever holiday iced drink after the Spiced Sweet Cream Cold Brew, a drink that was introduced for a limited time a few years ago. The chilled holiday drink combines Starbucks' Cold Brew with Irish cream syrup, plus vanilla sweet cream cold foam and a dusting of cocoa powder to top it all off. In Canada, Starbucks also offers a version of the drink that can be enjoyed hot by ordering the Irish Cream Americano.
The new Starbucks Irish Cream Cold Brew joins other festive favorites like the Eggnog Latte, Caramel Brulee Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte and Toasted White Chocolate Mocha.
