Starbucks is lighting up this year’s Fourth of July celebrations with a Firework Frappuccino, a limited‑edition creation available in U.S. stores July 1–7, 2025, or while supplies last . This festive blend layers red, white, and blue tones and flavors, starting with the Summer-Berry Refresher base (a trio of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry), mixed with coconut milk and ice. It’s then poured over popping raspberry pearls, swirled with a bright strawberry purée, and crowned with silky vanilla sweet cream cold foam—creating a truly vivid sip.
Starbucks’s product manager Amanda Conaway describes it as “a summer vacation in a cup,” pointing to its vibrant textures—from the bouncy pearls to the creamy cold foam—as an embodiment of the sights and sounds of summer . The drink represents a mini‑menu “drop” between seasonal launches, offering fans something special for the holiday week. While normally limited-time offerings stay on menus for several weeks, Starbucks is taking a bold approach with this one-week rollout.
The Firework Frappuccino also kicks off a broader wave of Strato Frappuccinos set to arrive later in July, including Salted Caramel Mocha, Strawberry Matcha, and Brown Sugar variants—all layered and topped with cold foam . Starbucks has been refining its menu under the “Back to Starbucks” initiative—streamlining offerings but also injecting fresh, Instagram-worthy designs to drive excitement . Despite some barista grumbling about added prep time for complex layered drinks, customers seem eager for the celebration-themed pick-me-up.
