Launching from 5 February, the new Pistachio Hot Chocolate and new Pistachio Iced Chocolate join Starbucks much‑loved pistachio flavour range, crafted for Valentine’s Day moments and celebrating love in all its forms – from cosy dates and heartfelt catch‑ups with friends to moments of self‑love.

Blending steamed milk with a rich mocha sauce and finishing with a milk‑based pistachio‑flavour cold foam, the Pistachio Hot Chocolate delivers velvety, chocolatey notes in every sip. Available hot or iced, it offers a fresh way to enjoy Starbucks’ pistachio flavours throughout the Valentine’s season.

Completing the Valentine’s line‑up is the new Valentine Bear Cake Pop, available from now until 15 February (or while stocks last). This bite‑sized vanilla‑flavour cake is blended with digestive biscuit crumb, dipped in white chocolate and finished with playful details including chocolate ears and a heart‑shaped nose.

For those who can’t get enough of pistachio, the Pistachio Scroll the perfect pairing to complement their beverage. Made with buttery pastry filled with pistachio sauce, it’s finished with an extra layer of green‑coloured white chocolate and topped with crushed pistachio nuts.

The Pistachio Hot Chocolate and Pistachio Iced Chocolate launch in participating Starbucks® stores across the UK from 5 February.
