Gearing for Valentine’s Day next weekend? On your next Starbucks run, you’ll find a new selection of love-inspired drinks perfect for getting in the romantic spirit. Today, Starbucks launched two new Valentine’s-day themed beverages: White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Brew and Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino. Of course, the Valentine’s day menu wouldn’t be complete without the returning Valentine’s Day cake pop, which features vanilla cake dipped in red icing.

Those who love a sweet and indulgent coffee will love the White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Brew — Starbucks’ take on the classic chocolate-covered strawberries. This beverage is made with Starbucks Cold Brew, sweetened with vanilla flavored syrup and topped with White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Foam and a sprinkle of chocolate curls. For the non-coffee drinker, the Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino combines Starbucks Crème Frappuccino with swirls of strawberry puree and cinnamon dolce syrup, finished with whipped cream and a caramel-sugar sprinkle.

In addition to these new Valentine’s Day drinks, Starbucks has also placed two new vibrant and flavorful green tea lattes on the year-round menu. These matcha drinks, Iced Double Berry Matcha and Iced Banana Bread Matcha, will remain on the menu all year round for tea drinkers to enjoy a sweet indulgence — any time. Whether your special someone loves coffee or loves tea, there’s no shortage of fun new drinks to try and buy to add a touch of joy to your Valentine’s Day weekend.

“Our matcha delivers a vibrant, velvety green experience with a smooth and creamy body,” said Starbucks beverage developer Sakthi Vijayakumar, who helped create these new drinks. “It is a perfect beverage to bring new flavor combinations to customers.”

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere

California is more than just IPAs

Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.

Blue Bottle just proved California can grow world-class coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee just dropped a super rare California-grown coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee

Coffee has always had its origins story – Ethiopia, Colombia, Panama. But California was never part of that conversation, until now. Coffee leader, Blue Bottle, has just launched the California Frinj San Diego Gesha, a washed Gesha grown in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties in partnership with Frinj Coffee, the pioneering network behind California's emerging coffee movement. Gesha is widely regarded as one of the most prized varietals in specialty coffee, known for its delicate floral complexity and fruit-forward character – and this one delivers jasmine, peach, and strawberry in a cup.

Up until now, many coffee brands would shy away from growing specialty-grade coffee in California, as it requires years of experimentation and innovation. For the past two decades, Jay Ruskey, founder of Frinj Coffee, has helped pioneer California coffee product through continual experimentation with innovative growing practices, coffee varieties, and post-harvest processing. Now, this exciting new launch finally reflects that work. Cherries from two California farms were processed at Frinj's wet mill in Ventura, using carefully controlled fermentation to result in an exceptionally clean cup of coffee. This new variety showcases the signature floral aromatics and bright fruit character of the Gesha variety.

Dark rums for whiskey fans

These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers

rum bottles

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.
