The menu includes the new [Spicy Lemonade Refreshers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropicana-spicy) in Spicy Dragonfruit, Spicy Pineapple and Spicy Strawberry flavors, which are each crafted with Starbucks Spicy Chili Powder Blend. The result is a series of refreshing beverages that don't skimp on sweetness or spiciness, while also offering a boost of caffeine to boot. The Starbucks spicy menu also introduces the Spicy Cream Cold Foam that's made with a blend of the brand's classic cold foam and the aforementioned Spicy Chili Powder Blend. The various menu items are only being offered at participating locations in the US for a limited time.
