As the sun comes out and outdoor adventures await, people are on the lookout for sources of energy to fuel their spring and summer fun, and Starbucks Iced Energy is a ready-to-drink swap for coffee, offering a refreshing pick-me-up to keep the good times rolling.
This hydrating, sparkling energy drink is powered by 160 milligrams of plant-based caffeine to support both energy and mental clarity—and with just five calories and zero grams of sugar. Starbucks Iced Energy is coming to grocery stores, national retailers, convenience stores, gas stations, and online channels where groceries are sold in three replenishing flavors: Tropical Peach, Watermelon Twist, and Blueberry Lemonade.
Starbucks Iced Energy is a new ready-to-drink product innovation that diversifies Starbucks' alternative drink offerings.
