The most requested Starbucks return of the year just got official.
Starbucks confirmed today that the S’mores Frappuccino is coming back for a limited time this summer — its first appearance in six years — alongside a brand-new S’mores Cold Brew and a wave of blended drinks rolling out through mid-July. The announcement came directly from Starbucks on June 8, putting to rest weeks of leaks and speculation.
Rewards members get early access on June 30. Everyone else gets it July 1.
The S’mores Frappuccino Is Back
Six years is a long time to wait for a drink. The S’mores Frappuccino last appeared on Starbucks menus in 2020, and the fan response to its absence has been consistent and vocal ever since.
The returning Frappuccino is built exactly as fans remember it: a layer of marshmallow-flavored whipped cream and milk chocolate sauce at the bottom, topped with a blend of coffee, milk, vanilla syrup, and ice, finished with more marshmallow whipped cream and graham cracker crumbles. It’s a full campfire experience in a cup — chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker flavors layered together in a way that’s distinctly summer.
“It’s heavenly,” one fan wrote when the return was announced on Instagram — a sentiment that showed up in multiple comments across platforms within minutes of the confirmation.
Something New: The S’mores Cold Brew
Joining the returning Frappuccino is a brand-new S’mores Cold Brew — the first time Starbucks has applied the s’mores flavor profile to its cold brew platform.
The drink starts with Starbucks Cold Brew and is topped with Marshmallow Cold Foam, chocolate syrup, and graham cracker-inspired toppings. It’s designed as a companion to the Frappuccino for cold brew fans who want the campfire flavor without the blended format — lighter, less sweet, and more coffee-forward.
Launch dates:
- June 30: Early access for Starbucks Rewards members
- July 1: Nationwide launch for all customers
The Full Summer Beverage Calendar
Starbucks is rolling out the rest of its summer menu in waves through mid-July:
Launching July 7: The Pink Drink-inspired merchandise collection hits coffeehouses — colorful drinkware and accessories including an oversized keychain, hair clips, and a belt bag. Pink Drink merch always moves fast; these will likely be gone within days of landing.
Launching July 14: Two new Blended Energy Refreshers join the menu: Blended Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Energy Refresher and Blended Mango Strawberry Lemonade Energy Refresher. Both combine bright fruit flavors with lemonade or coconut milk, blended with ice and real fruit pieces. A new Blended Matcha Lemonade also arrives on July 14 for a limited time.
A Note on the Unicorn Frappuccino
In addition to all of the above, Starbucks is also bringing back the Unicorn Frappuccino for one weekend only after a nine-year hiatus. No specific dates have been confirmed for the Unicorn Frappuccino return yet — but given the S’mores confirmation, that announcement is likely coming soon.
The Bottom Line
Starbucks’ S’mores Frappuccino returns July 1 (June 30 for Rewards members), alongside a new S’mores Cold Brew. Blended Energy Refreshers and a Blended Matcha Lemonade follow on July 14. Pink Drink merch drops July 7. Download the Starbucks app now if you want the two-day head start on the s’mores drinks.
