Starbucks’ New Spring Menu Highlights Iced Cherry Chai, Jalapeno Chicken Pocket

Starbucks lovers are in for a real treat this month and moving forward, as the coffee chain has announced the rollout of its new spring menu in anticipation of warmer weather in the months to come.

The spring menu features a host of new and returning items, according to a company press release, with some of the highlights being the new Iced Cherry Chai and the returning Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha, Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte, and Lavender Creme Frappuccino.

If you’re on the hungrier side, the brand new Jalapeno Chicken Pocket may satisfy, and if that’s not entirely up your alley, you’ll be treated to a complimentary TRUFF original or jalapeno hot sauce packet with the order of any breakfast sandwich, breakfast wrap, order of egg bites, bakes, lunch sandwiches, or pockets.

Starbucks’ Iced Cherry Chai Is Dubbed a ‘Sip of Springtime”

On March 4, alongside the rest of the menu, Starbucks is betting fans of the green-and-white brand will fall in love with its latest beverage offering in the Iced Cherry Chai.

The drink begins with black tea infused with cinnamon, clove, and other warming spices and then combined with milk and ice. Cherry cream cold foam tops the arrangement off, alongside a sprinkle of cherry crunch topping.

“When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture, warm spices, and notes of cherry — and it all comes together in an approachable way,” said Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for the coffee company.
