What is a Luck of the Matcha Crème Frappuccino?
Starbucks describes the new drink as being “inspired by a pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow.” It blends together creamy matcha, caramel syrup, milk and ice, then tops them with whipped cream, caramel sauce and crunchy caramel-sugar topping.
The buy-one, get-one deal is available exclusively to Starbucks Rewards members on Thursday, March 14 from noon to 6 p.m. local time. During that time, you can order via the Starbucks app or at any location. You can access the BOGO coupon via your Rewards member account in the app and use it to get a free handcrafted drink when you purchase one — and the deal includes the Luck of the Matcha Crème Frappuccino.
And more new spring Starbucks drinks
