Celebrate July 4th with Starbucks’ Limited-Time Firework Frappuccino
Starting July 1, 2025, Starbucks locations across the U.S. will launch the limited-time Firework Frappuccino, a red, white, and blue beverage designed to celebrate the Fourth of July in sweet, icy style.
A Festive Fourth-of-July Treat
The Firework Frappuccino is Starbucks’ latest addition to its seasonal drink lineup and will be available through July 7 or while supplies last. Inspired by the chain’s popular Summer-Berry Refresher, this version is creamy and blended, with just the perfect amount of Instagram-worthy flair.
The base is a bright, berry-flavored mix of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry blended with coconut milk and ice. Then Starbucks swirls in a layer of strawberry purée for that pop of red and a sweet-tart kick. Then, a generous cloud of vanilla sweet cream cold foam on top for the white layer. And because Starbucks couldn’t resist one more fireworks-inspired touch, the whole thing is finished with raspberry-flavored popping pearls. The tiny, fizzy, boba-like bursts of flavor bring texture, fun, and a little extra drama to every sip.
Part of the New “Strato” Frappuccino Lineup
The Firework Frappuccino is part of Starbucks’ new “Strato” Frappuccino series, a July launch that focuses on layered cold foam creations. While the Firework flavor leads the charge for the holiday week, three other Strato Frappuccino's will join the menu starting July 8: Salted Caramel Mocha, Strawberry Matcha, and Brown Sugar.
More Summer Flavors Incoming
Starbucks’ summer 2025 menu is shaping up to be one of its most colorful yet. Alongside the Firework Frappuccino, customers can also enjoy the return of the much-loved raspberry syrup, which Starbucks discontinued two years ago but is bringing back for a limited time.
New drinks like the Summer-Berry Refreshers, the Summer Skies Drink, and the Iced Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso round out the lineup. For those with a sweet tooth, Starbucks is also launching a Strawberries & Cream Cake Pop, giving fans even more reason to stop by.
Limited Time, Big Buzz
Social media reaction is already buzzing, with early testers describing the Firework Frappuccino as “fruity, creamy, and fun to drink.” However, baristas have shared some mixed feelings, noting that the drink’s layered build and popping pearls may add complexity to the typical Frappuccino prep during a busy summer holiday rush.
Still, for customers looking to sip something festive between fireworks and parades, this drink is a win.
Where and When to Get It
The Firework Frappuccino will be available July 1 through July 7 at participating U.S. Starbucks stores. Given the buzz and limited run, fans eager to try this colorful creation should head to their local Starbucks early before supplies run out.
Whether you’re craving something fruity and creamy or just looking for a fun way to celebrate the Fourth, Starbucks’ Firework Frappuccino promises to deliver a festive flavor explosion.
