Starbucks New Menu: What Has Launched Lately
The pecan drinks and the Iced Chaider are the freshest names in the app's Trending row. They belong to the fall lineup, and fall drinks come and go, so treat each one as available when it is on the menu at your store.
Starbucks announced the fall menu with a late August launch. The Pecan Crunch Latte, Iced Pecan Crunch Latte and Pecan Cortado came back from an earlier fall. The Chaider was introduced as the new chai twist.

Pecan Crunch and Pecan Cortado: Blonde Espresso Newcomers
All three pecan drinks start with Blonde Espresso Roast, which is lighter and smoother than the Signature roast. The menu describes nutty pecan flavor, brown-buttery notes and holiday baking spices.
The hot Pecan Crunch Latte is made with 2% milk and finished with a crunchy pecan-flavored sugar topping. The iced version swaps that for ice and vanilla sweet cream cold foam, so it drinks sweeter and creamier.
The Pecan Cortado is the small, strong one. It uses three ristretto shots, which are short pulls that taste sweeter and richer, plus steamed milk. If you want the pecan flavor without a big cup of sweet milk, start there.
Iced Chaider: A Chai Twist Worth Knowing
The Iced Chaider is a shaken drink. According to the menu, a premium chai blend is shaken with Strawberry Acai flavors, which makes it crisp and spiced instead of creamy.
Chai is a black tea blend, so expect some caffeine. Check the nutrition tab in the app for the size you order. If you like the spice but want something milky, the chai latte options cover the classic versions.
Permanent Additions vs Limited-Time Drinks
Permanent additions are announced as year-round menu items, and limited-time drinks are announced with a season or a date range. Starbucks launched the Iced Banana Bread Matcha and the Iced Double Berry Matcha in February as permanent items, and brought back raspberry syrup for year-round customizing.
Permanent Additions vs Limited-Time Drinks
| Type | How it is announced | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent | Called year-round or permanent in the launch story | Stays on the board and in the app |
| Seasonal return | Listed as returning for a season | Comes back most years, but not promised |
| Limited time | Tied to a short window, often a month or less | Gone once the ingredients sell out |
Delivery apps can lag behind the official menu. A drink may show up in the app a little late, or linger after a store sells out of the toppings. When a drink looks off, the in-store menu board is the final word.
Starbucks New Frappuccino and Blended Drinks
Blended launches cluster in summer. The S'mores Frappuccino returned after about six years, built with vanilla syrup, coffee, milk and ice over marshmallow whipped cream and milk chocolate sauce.
A Horchata Frappuccino arrived in the summer launch, and blended Energy Refreshers followed in July, including Blended Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade and Blended Mango Strawberry Lemonade. Browse the full Frappuccino menu for the permanent flavors.
New Menu Questions People Ask
How often does Starbucks add new drinks to the menu?
Several times a year. Seasonal launches arrive in fall, holiday, winter or Valentine's, spring and summer, and smaller additions land in between. Expect at least four big waves, with a few permanent items added when they test well.
How do I know if a new Starbucks drink is permanent or limited time?
Read the launch announcement. Permanent items are called year-round or permanent, while limited-time drinks are tied to a season. If the wording is unclear, ask a barista, because stores sell through ingredients at different speeds.
What is the Iced Chaider and what does it taste like?
It is a chai blend shaken with Strawberry Acai flavors and served cold. Expect warm spice up front and a fruity, crisp finish. It is lighter than a creamy chai latte and tastes closer to a spiced fruit tea.
How much does the Pecan Crunch Latte cost, and why does it vary?
The delivery-app starting price is shown on the cards above. In-store pricing depends on the store, your size, milk swaps and add-ons like extra shots. See how Starbucks prices are structured for the main drivers.
Are the new Starbucks fall drinks caffeinated?
Most are. The pecan drinks use espresso, and the Chaider uses chai, which is black tea. Caffeine goes up with size and shots, so check the nutrition tab in the app. Steamers and creme drinks are the usual no-caffeine picks.
Which new Starbucks drinks are dairy free or can be made nondairy?
Many espresso and tea drinks can be ordered with a nondairy milk. The toppings are the catch, since cold foam and whipped cream contain dairy. Ask for them to be left off and check the allergen details in the app.
Is there something Starbucks new for people who do not drink coffee?
Yes. The matcha lineup grew over the past few years, including the Iced Double Berry Matcha and Iced Banana Bread Matcha. Refreshers and creme Frappuccinos are other coffee-free paths. Matcha and Refreshers still carry some caffeine.
Can I order a new Starbucks drink on the app before it reaches the menu board?
Sometimes. Rewards members have received early access on select launch days, and the app can show a drink before the board does. Availability depends on your store stocking the ingredients, so a drink may be greyed out.
Do the new drinks come in every size?
Not always. Most seasonal drinks come in Tall, Grande and Venti, but small drinks like the cortado are often sold in one size only, and some iced cups skip the smallest size. Check the size picker in the app before you commit, since it shows what your store can make.
Where can I see all seasonal Starbucks drinks in one place?
Use the seasonal pages on this site: the fall menu, holiday drinks, spring lineup and summer menu. The app also groups seasonal drinks in one section.
