With the release of a new, holiday-themed drink duo, it appears there's a new couple of the year from Starbucks this Valentine's Day.
The coffee chain introduced two limited-edition festive choices in stores across the U.S. and Canada, available starting January 30 through February 14. In celebration of the holiday, both are inspired by the most classic of holiday treats: chocolate.
Although we're in the thick of winter, Starbucks's Valentine's drinks are both served cold, with a Frappuccino and Cold Brew making up the duo.
The Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino blends flavors from everyone's favorite romantic dessert with a swirl of mocha chips. Keeping with the theme, ordering the Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew gets you a silky cold brew sweetened with hazelnut syrup. For an extra-special touch, it's topped with chocolate cream cold foam and cookie crumbles.
If you’re traveling this Valentine’s Day, here’s what you can try at international cafes (and we’ll be here pretending we don't have FOMO!):
