Starbucks Reserve Roasteries and stores in Chicago, New York City and Seattle now serve a summer menu with refreshing, all-new additions like the Pineapple Rum Float.
This coffee cocktail showcases the boldness of the Starbucks Reserve espresso and blends it with Ten to One Dark Rum and Henriques & Henriques Madeira wine. Enhanced with pineapple syrup and vanilla gelato, the float features rich notes of raisin and caramel that remind of pineapple upside-down cake. Notably, this is the first-ever Starbucks Reserve signature cocktail beverage that can be customized with oat milk-based gelato to make the Pineapple Rum Float non-dairy.
Alongside this tropical coffee cocktail, Starbucks Reserve Roasteries now serves seasonal Princi treats like the Strawberry Lemon Tart and Tropical Coconut Mousse Cake.
