Now that the weather is changing, and flowers are finally blooming, businesses have taken advantage of this change and released their spring drink menus! Spring is such a beautiful time of year, and these delicious drinks are here to reflect that.
The first, and arguably the most popular, Starbucks, launched their spring menu on March 4, 2025. Starbucks brought back six of their popular spring drinks, while also including a brand new drink, called the Iced Cherry Chai Latte.
Senior Peyton McCafferty tried this delicious cherry drink and stated, “It was very good and I would definitely recommend it.”
The other spring favorites include Iced Lavender Cream Oat Milk Matcha, Iced Lavender Oat Milk Latte, Lavender Oat Milk Latte, Black Sage Lemonade Refresher, Midnight Drink, and Cortado.
An idea that has become popular is requesting to add lavender to different refreshers instead of the lemonade or water that would normally come in it. Along with Starbucks, there are many other places that have released their limited time menus.
One amazing cafe that has some of the best energy and frappuccinos is AirPlay. AirPlay announced their monthly menu for March on February 28, and the April menu 0n April 2nd.
These limited time St. Patrick’s Day drinks included The Shamrock Shake (vanilla and green mint frappe with whip and sprinkles), The Track Star (almond cold brew with irish creme cold foam), The RiverDance (lotus with kiwi and lemonade), The Spring Breaker (blueberry chai latte, iced with pomegranate cold foam), and The Samoa (a mocha lined cup with coconut cold foam, caramel, and chocolate drizzle).
This menu has the Strawberry Short Cake Latte (iced espresso & milk with white chocolate & cookie butter plus strawberry cold foam), The Saam (blue lotus energy with green apple, lime and blue raspberry), The Orange Cream Soda (orange & vanilla Italian soda with half & half), The Pollinator (classic honey lavender latte), The Thin Mint (green mint mocha) and The Peanut Butter Bunny (peanut butter cold brew with mocha cold foam).
The monthly drinks are a fun addition to the AirPlay menu and bring the seasonal feel into their cafe! All months have new menus and have their own unique names depending on the season, and upcoming holidays.
These places are loved by the community for their exciting new drinks and I would definitely recommend trying some of them out.
