Pink vibes: New Starbucks merch collection inspired by beloved Pink Drink
It’s hard to imagine a happier beverage than Pink Drink. Now its fandom has inspired a new Pink Drink merchandise collection coming to select U.S. coffeehouses starting July 7 and online at Starbucks Shop, while supplies last.
It’s hard to imagine a happier beverage than Pink Drink – with its sweet strawberry and açaí flavors combined with creamy coconutmilk for its signature rosy pink hue. The beverage customization (which swapped coconutmilk for water) was one of the first Starbucks viral beverages, taking social media by storm in 2016 with the hashtag #pinkdrink before officially joining the Starbucks menu in 2017.
Now the fervor customers have for it has inspired a new Pink Drink Vibes merchandise collection, extending the fun and playful spirit of “Pink Energy” beyond the cup. The collection arrives in U.S. coffeehouses starting July 7 and online at Starbucks Shop for Starbucks Rewards members to access.
“Pink Drink is one of the most beloved Starbucks beverages and the fandom continues to grow,” said Kap Pitarys, who leads merchandise strategy for Starbucks. She said that customers love the aesthetic of Pink Drink – and the collection features a range of pink tones, from the creamy (and on-trend) “pop pink” color to the vibrant red shade of the strawberry inclusions. The Pink Drink Vibes merchandise collection includes drinkware plus accessories like hair clips, a keychain with a pink pouch and belt bag.
“There’s a mood-boosting piece to it,” Pitarys said. “We just wanted to take what people love and make sure that it threads through the collection.”
