The cup prioritizes a summertime aesthetic that sees the character-themed glass oared with a ball cap, a strawberry-shaped topper on the straw and additional pink design accents throughout. The glass is finished with the Starbucks logo on the front and is expected to be a viral hit just like the original Bearista cup. The Starbucks Pink Bearista™ Glass Cold Cup will be on offer for [Starbucks Reserve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-ice) members to order starting July 9 online before they launch in select cafes July 13, 2026. The cups come with a two-item limit due to their expected popularity.
