Starbucks has conjured up delicious new summer treats and drinks. Starting Tuesday, June 14, 2016, you’ll be able to order the fun Sunset Menu desserts and drinks:
- Strawberry Trifle
- Chocolate Brownie Trifle
- Caramel Espresso Granita
- Youthberry White Tea Granita
- Strawberry Lemon Limeade Granita
Look at how delicious the Strawberry Trifle is! It’s two vanilla bean scones, whipped cream, and a strawberry puree and a strawberry drizzle on top! The strawberry puree is a special pre-made topping that the baristas make in the stores each morning.
The Brownie Trifle is described as a warmed chocolate chunk brownie, whipped cream and mocha drizzle. It should look something like this:
The delicious Granitas are these 3 drinks:
The Caramel Espresso Granita involves crushed ice, espresso shots, half and half, and caramel drizzle.
The Strawberry Lemon Limeade is strawberry puree blended with strawberries, lemonade, and a splash of lime on top.
The Teavana Youthberry White Tea Granita involves ice, Youthberry tea, and lemonade. Refreshing lemonade-flavored finely-shaved ice topped with Teavana® Youthberry® White tea – a blend of delicate white tea, tropical pineapple, fruity acai, and hibiscus, all combined for the ultimate summer afternoon pick-me-up.
Here’s what the 3 Granitas look like:
These really sound delicious. I’m especially looking forward to the Youthberry Lemonade Granita. Over the years, I’ve heard stories that partners love brewing Youthberry Tea and making their own Youthberry Tea Lemonades. I’ve tried this in the past and loved it.
Here’s another look at the Youthberry White Tea Granita:
There are a few extremely important things to know about new summer desserts and drinks:
Starbucks is calling this a “Sunset menu.” Starbucks will be offering these items only after 3:00 PM. Please don’t try to order these before 3:00 PM!
From June 14 –June 26, customers are invited to bring their morning receipt into participating Starbucks stores after 3 p.m. and get one grande (16 fl. oz) Granita or Trifle for $3.
Enjoy! I want to hear how you like the 2 trifles and the 3 Granita drinks!

These sound SO good! Such a great idea for summer. I think it will pull some people towards the evenings menu, too. For me, when it is so hot in the summer I don’t want a big meal for dinner. As a matter of fact, ice cream-y things sound perfect for summer dinner!! I’m looking forward to this, and it will definitely pull me in for an after 3 pm purchase!
Oh my oh my oh my my my. Those granitas look delish. And the trifles, yummy. And yes, iced youthberry tea lemonade is wonderful, I’m liking the sounds of the addition of lime.
@Nicholas and @Lisa – I can’t wait which is why I wanted to post this now. I’m super excited for these on the 14th. It’s the Youthberry Lemonade with a splash of lime that has me totally intrigued. That has to be good!
Oh, man, I want to try all of the granitas! They sound sooo good, especially the espresso and the strawberry lemon/limeade ones!
I’m kind of meh on the desserts, unless I can get the brownie dessert with added strawberry sauce. That would be pretty awesome.
6/14 is going on my calendar! One of these cool delights will be a great way to end the day. I will probably have to do 3 extra hours of working out to pay for this m, but it wil be so worth it!!
I’m so excited about these!!!!! I saw the stuff about it yesterday but couldn’t study it. 🙂
Sorry to say the espresso granita served to me in Manhattan was the worst drink ever encountered at a Starbucks. It tasted like brown water – no taste at all. So disappointing.
I hope it was just that the store didn’t know what to do
However, when I told them it was horrible they checked their notes and said it was made correctly. Not hopeful
Ohh, I need to try the Strawberry Lemon Limeade Granita – sounds delish!
How long will these be around??
