Starbucks and global K-pop sensation Blackpink have joined forces once more, rolling out a vibrant summer collaboration across nine Asia Pacific nations. The limited-edition project features a unique Blackpink-themed drink, food items, and exclusive merchandise, available from July 25 until the end of August.
The Korea Herald reported that Starbucks' latest project with Blackpink is specifically launching in the Asia Pacific, and nine countries are included in the list. To make summer cooler this year, the company said it would offer the "Blackpink Strawberry Choco Cream Frappuccino," an oat-based special beverage featuring the girl group's official colors of pink and black.
The new drink is sweetened with dark chocolate sauce and strawberry syrup. Whipped cream and a chocolate topping in the shape of Blackpink's logo complete the frappuccino beverage.
Starbucks is also offering two Blackpink-inspired food items: the "Blackpink Strawberry Cream Choco Baumkuchen" and "Blackpink Strawberry Cream Choco Brioche." These treats are exclusively available in SB stores in South Korea.
For the Starbucks x Blackpink limited-edition merchandise, fans and customers can collect various lifestyle accessories to turn up the summer fun. The collection includes stylish yoga mats, key chains, passport holders, reusable tote bags, tumblers, and even an apron in black and pink shades.
Customers may purchase the items online via the Starbucks website of the chain's local units in the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Thailand starting July 25. The Starbucks x Blackpink collection is only available until the end of August.
"BLACKPINK is synonymous with an authenticity that is bold and confident, making them an inspiring force that transcends geographies and cultures," Starbucks' senior vice president and president of Starbucks Asia Pacific, Emmy Kan, said in a press release. "We are so thrilled to partner with one of the biggest icons of this generation that aligns with our focus on uplifting customers and fans alike through human connection to create an unforgettable Starbucks Experience."
