The menu includes four character-based drinks available through the Starbucks app, each built from existing menu components and customized to reflect specific personalities from the film. The lineup includes Miranda’s Signature Order, a no-foam, extra-shot, extra-hot caffè latte with nonfat milk; Andy’s Cappuccino, made with oat milk, caramel, and cinnamon; Nigel’s Go-to Doppio, an espresso con panna with mocha; and Emily’s [Fave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fave-organic-drink-mix-sticks) Iced Chai, an iced chai latte with almond milk and caramel. The drinks are distributed as customizations rather than standalone menu items, with availability tied to the film’s promotional campaign and supported through in-app ordering and select global locations.
