This summer, only at Starbucks Reserve locations, there are refreshing Sparkling Spritz beverages that are being served to offer up a taste of fresh seasonal fruit, sparkling water and ice. Inspired by Italian sodas, the beverages tap into the current popularity of seltzers and other sparkling beverages, and these fruit-forward varieties share a refreshingly different way for people to beat the heat.
The classic Strawberry Spritz, available at all Starbucks Reserve Roasteries and stores, features muddled strawberries, while the Strawberry Balsamic Spritz version of this drink provides an "unexpected twist." At select locations, there are other unique options to discover, such as the Blood Orange Tea Spritz and the Watermelon Spritz, both of which feature muddled fruit and simple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
