The first drink, Elphaba’s Cold Brew, is a cold brew coffee infused with peppermint syrup and topped with a non-dairy matcha flavored cold foam and green sprinkles. This drink is designed to reflect the character of Elphaba, known for her green skin and strong personality.

The second drink, Glinda’s Sparkling Refresher, is a sparkling beverage featuring a blend of green tea and citrus flavors, topped with a splash of lemonade and edible glitter. This drink is inspired by Glinda’s bubbly and glamorous persona.

In addition to the drinks, Starbucks will also offer ‘Wicked’-themed merchandise, including cups, tumblers, and other items. These items will be available in select Starbucks stores and online, allowing fans of the musical to celebrate their love for ‘Wicked’ in a unique way.

Starbucks is known for its seasonal and themed offerings, and this collaboration with ‘Wicked’ is expected to attract both coffee lovers and fans of the musical. The limited-time availability of these drinks and merchandise is likely to generate significant interest and excitement among consumers.
