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.

Jagermeister goes citrus with new orange release
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Alcohol is the ultimate gathering tool. No matter what event you have coming up, you can almost always bet on a good drink (unless it is a baby shower; then maybe not). From the moment I joined the United States Army, I became quite familiar with the presence of Jagermeister. It was a constant pillar of our get-togethers for two main reasons. The first was that we didn’t make a lot of money, and it has always been one of the more accessible liquors when we walked down the booze aisles of the Class 6 (picture a 711 on a military post). The second reason is that it is the perfect shot drink. It never needed a mixer. It is designed to be poured as a shot straight from the freezer. However, Jager is also versatile enough to make some great cocktails. Now, the brand dropped the perfect summer upgrade with an orange twist.

Jagermeister has always been about bringing people together. – Cindy Wang Simms, CMO,Jägermeister US.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.

Old Elk’s new 10-year collection is its first big move under new ownership
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Elk just dropped three bottles at once, and every one of them is a full decade old. That’s a pretty big statement of purpose from the Fort Collins, Colorado brand, now owned by Middle West Spirits.

The Ohio-based parent company has become a serious supplier in the last few years, and they’re putting that muscle behind Old Elk with the 10-Year-Old Collection. The new drop consists of a Straight Bourbon, a Wheated Bourbon, and a Straight Wheat Whiskey, all aged ten years before bottling.
