Key Takeaways
- Starbucks announced it will be bringing back a fan-favorite syrup this summer.
- The fruity add-in has been off the menu since 2023, and customers have been requesting its return ever since.
Summer 2025 seems to be all about fresh, fruity flavors. Blue Bell just brought back its Southern Blackberry Cobbler ice cream, which fans call the “taste of summer.” Trader Joe’s has a new Strawberry Mini Sheet Cake that shoppers are eating in one sitting. Chick-fil-A is coming through with its Peach Milkshake, which we couldn’t imagine a season without. Even candy and soda brands are releasing fruit-forward flavors starring blueberries, raspberries, and cherries.
So is it any wonder Starbucks wanted in on the fun as well? But instead of releasing something brand-new, it’s re-introducing an old favorite we haven’t seen since 2023.
Starbucks Is Bringing Back Its Raspberry Syrup for a Limited Time
One of the many exciting announcements to come out of Starbucks’ 2025 Leadership Experience was a teaser that raspberry syrup will be making a comeback. While we don’t have all the information yet, the brand confirmed the news to Allrecipes: “We’re excited that fan-favorite raspberry syrup will return to Starbucks cafes in the U.S. for a limited time in July. We look forward to sharing more details soon.”
Customers who have been clamoring for the fruity syrup mix-in since its discontinuation are ecstatic about this revelation. One Redditor exclaimed, “Yesss raspberry white mochas in 100+ degree Texas summer…still gonna drink 100 of them.” Another noted, “I’ve personally never got to try the raspberry white mocha but I’m really excited to be able to! Especially with how many rave reviews there’s been!”
Baristas weighed in on the Reddit thread as well, “People ask for that syrup daily, still, YEARS after its discontinuation,” while also questioning Starbucks’ decision: “Why on earth would you bring it back for a ‘very limited time’ instead of just bringing it back?” (Honestly, fair question.)
Elsewhere on an “I miss raspberry syrup!” thread, Redditors listed the best ways to use the beloved add-in. “I used to get that in a matcha latte all the time with coconut milk,” said the original poster. Others recommended concocting raspberry-enhanced mochas, lemonades, flat whites, hot chocolates, and more.
While we don’t have an exact release date, it’s obvious Starbucks regulars are ready and waiting. And maybe if we’re lucky, the demand will help extend raspberry syrup’s shelf life beyond summer.
