Get ready to defy gravity – and your usual coffee order. Starbucks is bringing a touch of Oz magic to its menu with a spellbinding collaboration celebrating Universal Pictures’ upcoming Wicked release. Available now, you can sip your way through the Emerald City with two enchanting beverages that would make even Madame Morrible impressed.
First up is Glinda’s Pink Potion, which is exactly as extra as our favorite good witch would want it to be. This Instagram-worthy concoction starts with a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher (because regular drinks are so last semester at Shiz University) and gets a creamy twist with coconut milk. But wait – there’s more! It’s topped with strawberry cold foam and finished with what they’re calling an “Oz-dusting” of magical sprinkles. In other words, it’s the drink equivalent of traveling by bubble.
Not to be outdone, Elphaba’s Cold Brew brings its own kind of wonderful to the menu. This bewitching beverage features Starbucks‘ signature cold brew, sweetened with a kick of peppermint and crowned with matcha cold foam. And yes, it comes with green sprinkles – because how could it not?
But the magic doesn’t stop at the drinks. For the true collectors out there, mark your calendars for November 7, when limited-edition Wicked drinkware hits select stores. Though unlike Elphaba’s hat, these items probably won’t be hand-me-downs from a mysterious benefactor.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, with the highly anticipated Wicked movie flying into theaters on November 22. It’s clear Starbucks is bringing the film’s themes of connection, belonging, and joy to life – one sprinkle-topped beverage at a time.
So whether you’re feeling particularly good or planning to make some trouble (the good kind, of course), these limited-time offerings are your ticket to experiencing a little piece of Oz. Just remember: while these drinks might make you feel like you’re defying gravity, actual flying abilities are not guaranteed. That kind of magic we’ll have to leave to the professionals on screen.
