Starbucks introduces Wicked-inspired drinks with mixed reviews ahead of launch

thetakeout.com

Starbucks is launching two new drinks inspired by the musical "Wicked" on October 22. The drinks, Glinda's Pink Potion and Elphaba's Cold Brew, will be available at participating locations in the U.S., Canada, and select international markets for a limited time. Glinda's Pink Potion features a mix of mango dragonfruit and coconut milk, while Elphaba's Cold Brew combines cold brew coffee with peppermint syrup. Both drinks are customizable and come in standard Starbucks sizes, with prices ranging from $5.25 to $6.95. Initial reviews suggest that while the drinks are visually appealing, their flavors may not meet expectations. Glinda's drink is noted for its mild sweetness, while Elphaba's is described as having a strong peppermint taste that may not appeal to everyone.
