Starbucks is getting fully into the Christmas spirit by launching a wintery beverage – which can be veganized.
For a limited time only, from November 27 the coffee shop chain is serving its Juniper Latte across the US for the first time, until stocks last.
The drink features hints of sage and juniper, an evergreen aroma, a dusting of pine-citrus sugar and covered with velvety foam. It can be vegan if customers ask for non-dairy milk.
The drink joins the line-up of Starbucks holiday espresso beverages including Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte.
Starbucks is going for an all-out Christmas vibe this Friday, with John Legend taking over the Christmas playlist in stores – playing album A Legendary Christmas with his favourite holiday classics.
On World AIDS Day on December 1, Starbucks will donate 20 cents (USD) for every latte purchased in US and Canada Starbucks stores to help non-profit organisation (RED) fight AIDS.
For 11 years, Starbucks has been a partner of (RED), raising money and awareness for the fight against HIV and AIDS, contributing more than $14 million to the Global Fund. To learn more, visit the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.
