Starbucks Unveils New Wicked Drinks: Glinda’s Pink Potion and Elphaba’s Cold Brew
Starbucks is brewing up some magic with its latest offerings inspired by the upcoming film “Wicked.” Starting October 22, customers in the United States, Canada, and select international locations can indulge in two limited-time drinks that pay homage to the film’s beloved characters: Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba the Wicked Witch.
Glinda’s Pink Potion
Glinda’s Pink Potion embodies the vibrant spirit of Glinda, known for her iconic association with all things pink. According to Starbucks beverage developer Natalia Vasquez, this enchanting drink combines Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers with coconut milk, ice, and a scoop of freeze-dried dragonfruit. It is then topped with nondairy strawberry cold foam and colorful candy sprinkles, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious.
Elphaba’s Cold Brew
On the other hand, Elphaba’s Cold Brew reflects the bold energy and striking green hue of Elphaba. As described by Starbucks beverage developer Rosalyn Batingan, this drink features Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with nondairy matcha cold foam and green candy sprinkles. It promises a refreshing and unique flavor experience for fans of the character.
Additional Merchandise and Promotions
In addition to the new drinks, Starbucks will offer “Wicked”-themed gift cards starting November 7. Fans will also be able to purchase a variety of “Oz”-inspired tumblers from the Glinda, Elphaba, or Emerald City collections, as well as other general “Wicked” merchandise and a trio of mugs from the “Wicked” Discovery Series Collection.
The film “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, is set to hit theaters on November 22, with a sequel, “Wicked Part Two,” scheduled for release on November 21, 2025. The promotional campaign for the highly anticipated movie is already in full swing, with “Wicked” Stanley cups creating a buzz at Target. Meanwhile, Walmart has seen its microwaveable “Wicked” Mystery Color Macaroni and Cheese, which features color-changing pink or green cheese, sell out quickly.
With these new drinks and merchandise, Starbucks is making sure fans of “Wicked” can celebrate the magic of Oz in style.
