I’m loving this: Starbucks x FARM Rio drop nature-inspired drinkware collection

Celebrating the joy of nature in full bloom

Since the initial collaboration of Starbucks x FARM Rio back in 2022, customers have been anxiously awaiting the debut of a new collab between Starbucks and Brazilian fashion and lifestyle brand FARM Rio. Launching tomorrow, May 13th, customers can get their hands on a vibrant, limited-edition drinkware collection across Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada. The five iconic FARM Rio prints are bold and lively, with roots in the nature and culture of Rio de Janeiro. Just looking at these new cups gets me excited for the summer. The collection will also be available in stores in Brazil and select stores throughout Latin America and the Caribbean starting on May 20, 2025.

The Starbucks FARM Rio collection includes colorful drinkware in five different prints designed to brighten your day with a burst of color and happiness. Mariana Flores Rios, Brand and product Marketing Lead for Latin America and the Caribbean at Starbucks, says the collection was crafted to celebrate Starbucks’s rich coffee culture while incorporating FARM Rio’s artistic flair, making each coffee experience more memorable. The design team wants us to get in the summer mindset, believing that summer isn’t just a season — it’s a state of mind. Inside the Starbucks FARM Rio collection, you’ll find the following bold prints:

  • Banana Mix: A freshly picked mix of vibrant fruits and florals in a radiant blue with the Banana Mix design.

  • Borogodo: Colorful embroidery and beadwork embody the irrepressible charm of the Borogodo pattern, a take on the Brazilian Portuguese word for “free spirit.

  • Board Banana: FARM Rio’s whimsical Board Banana pattern features lush shades of green and yellow and is capped off with a whimsical banana straw topper.

  • Lenco Azulejo: The inspiration for FARM Rio’s Lenco Azulejo design is the colorful hand-painted tiles (“azulejo”) found that resemble a handkerchief or scarf (“lenco”).

  • Banana Leaves: A playful pattern of tropical banana leaves in rich magenta, gold, and jade green hues.

What I learned about the caffeine in Starbucks’ Cortado after drinking it for a week
The Cortado has more caffeine than you'd think
Starbucks Cortado

The Cortado is the perfect "all-around" espresso drink with the ideal one-to-one balance of steamed milk and espresso. I've ordered this drink at coffee shops in the past, but Starbucks' recent release of the Cortado has revived my love of this drink. I admit I've ordered it at least three times since its release at Starbucks on January 3rd. The first few times I ordered this drink, it hit the spot every time. Yet, the most recent time I ordered the drink, I discovered just how much caffeine this small, eight-ounce coffee pack contained. Here's what I realized about the small but mighty Starbucks Cortado.
About the Starbucks Cortado

Per Starbucks' definition of the drink, their version of the Cortado is made with three Ristretto shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso and steamed milk to give it a velvety texture and balanced flavor. The Cortado is served in an 8-ounce cup (Starbucks' "short" cup). In my case, I first read this description on the menu after I started to experience some symptoms that made me question if I overdid my caffeine consumption.

Starbucks has a new fall-inspired drink — what’s inside the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte
Starbucks now has another fall-inspired drink
Starbucks latte

Great news for coffee enthusiasts who love Starbucks' fall-inspired menu -- the coffee chain has added another seasonal drink to the current menu. Available for a limited time, you can now find the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte at Starbucks stores across the U.S. Made with blonde espresso roast, this delicious latte features peace, rich brown-buttery notes and holiday baking spices that will give you all the "fall feels." Complete with oat milk and a crunch pecan-flavored sugar, this drink is an indulgent treat that screams "fall."

The Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte can also be made with traditional Signature Espresso Roast instead. As with all of Starbucks' blended espresso beverages, milk substitutes can be made instead of oat milk. For those who prefer a cold coffee beverage instead, Starbucks also has created an iced version of the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, which is equally as indulgent.

I’m putting kiwifruit in my Gin & Tonic and you should too
It's sharp, it's tangy, and it adds a delicious note to your G&T
Spanish gin tonic

For a simple drink, the gin & tonic allows endless variations. Of course you can change out the gin and tonic water you're using, but something I've been playing with recently is garnishes. It's easy to overlook a garnish as just a bit of pretty thrown in at the end of making a drink, but in fact they can significantly affect the taste and scent of your drink, and they can elevate it to something really special.

Ninety percent of G&Ts you'll have served to you in a bar with come with a slice of either lemon or lime. And those are fine -- they are classics for a reason. But my new favorite garnish is something quite unexpected: slices of kiwifruit.
