This is the summer for dipping.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

With warmer weather on its way in Japan, Starbucks<\/strong> is coming to the rescue with a new release inspired by \u201ca Milan cafe at sunset<\/strong>\u201d. Sold exclusively at the chain\u2019s Reserve Cafe<\/strong> branches, the new menu items are designed to provide you with a refreshing escape from everyday life<\/strong>, and there are two drinks and a sweet pastry in the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Frozen Crush Coffee Lemonade<\/strong> (Tall size only) 864 yen (US$5.39) for takeout; 880 yen for dine-in<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This frozen beverage is inspired by granita<\/strong>, a traditional Italian summer dessert. The refreshing zing of lemonade is combined with iced coffee and finished with a topping of olive oil and salt, adding an extra layer of depth to the cool beverage. Sophisticated and elegant, this drink will seduce you with its citrus notes and pep you up with espresso, make it ideal for a quick energy boost.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Sparkling Lemon Iced Coffee<\/strong> (Tall size only) 775 yen takeout; 790 yen dine-in<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This refreshing drink is made with iced coffee, lemonade, and tonic water. Upon first sip, the delicate carbonation is said to fizz on your tongue, creating a light taste as the aroma of coffee gently unfolds. It\u2019s perfect for when you want to quench your thirst, refresh your mood, and feel invigorated \u2013 three things we find ourselves desperately in need of during summer.<\/p>\n

\u25bc \u201cCornetti Pistachio\u201d<\/strong> (481 yen takeout; 490 yen dine-in)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though \u201ccornetti\u201d is technically the plural of \u201ccornetto\u201d, this is the word Starbucks uses for its signature \u201cItalian croissant\u201d. Featuring a light dough infused with the aroma of fermented butter and topped with a cream blended with crushed pistachios, this new pastry has a nutty richness and gentle sweetness that\u2019s said to be ideal for dunking into foam-topped Starbucks drinks. The chain recommends dunking this one into the Cinnamon Mousse Foam Honey Latte<\/strong> as the aroma of cinnamon and gentle sweetness of honey are said to \u201cenvelop the richness of the pistachio\u201d. You can also add the newly introduced condiment, \u201cCoconut Flavour Syrup\u201d for a lighter, more summery feel.<\/p>\n

\u25bc The chain also sells plain cornetti that pair well with coffees.<\/p>\n
