Coffee & Beverages New Ready-to-Drink Starbucks Iced Latte Launches with Salted Caramel Mocha

When Starbucks® served its very first espresso beverages in 1984, the Caffè Latte was a beverage unfamiliar to most Americans. But it quickly became a customer favorite with its rich espresso balanced with steamed milk and a light topping of foam.

Now Starbucks is bringing customers a new way to enjoy the beverage and Starbucks high-quality arabica coffee with its new ready-to-drink Starbucks Iced Latte, available in Salted Caramel Mocha for a limited time. This is the first Starbucks single-serve ready-to-drink iced latte. It features cocoa and toffee notes intertwined with hints of sea salt, bold espresso and creamy milk. The Salted Caramel Mocha flavor is inspired by the seasonal customer favorite, the handcrafted Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha served at Starbucks stores.  The new Starbucks Iced Latte Salted Caramel Mocha begins shipping to grocery retailers nationwide starting today.  Starbucks Iced Latte will roll-out in other delicious limited-time flavors throughout the year.
