While Starbucks Japan may have launched the dreamy Sakura Milk Pudding Frappuccino for Valentine's Day, the UK arm of the coffee chain has it's own Berry Hot Chocolate. Available hot or iced, this drink is the perfect way to treat your partner, best friend, or yourself to something sweet on Valentine's Day.
The new Berry Hot Chocolate is an Instagrammable new drink that's here for a limited time only. The drink starts with Starbucks' signature hot chocolate blended with a rich raspberry syrup. The whole things is then topped with a raspberry-infused cold foam. The result is "a rich and indulgent treat" that's totally festive.
While Starbucks is known for its coffee and espresso lineup, the new Berry Hot Chocolate is a welcome holiday addition.
