It is now officially the season of Halloween. Costume ideas are cluttering up text threads, skeletons are being built in front yards, and your favorite fast-food restaurants are releasing imaginative specials for Halloween. All of these things are happening together. Exactly when it was expected, Starbucks, the undisputed champion of seasonal beverages, is said to be releasing a “Wicked” collaboration on October 22 in stores that are participating.
Elphaba’s Green Elixir and Glinda’s Pink Potion will reportedly be available for purchase nine days before Halloween, which is precisely one month before the release of the highly awaited film. This information originates from web rumors.
The visual appeal of these two beverages is on par with the philosophical allure that they also possess. There are press images that appear to be authentic that are circulating, despite the fact that all of the excitement on the internet is still in the rumor phase.
One of those, posted on X by the account @WickedNewsHub, claims that Elphaba’s Green Elixir is made of “Starbucks Cold Brew loaded with Peppermint sweetness, topped with silky-smooth Nondairy Matcha Cream Ice Foam and an assortment of colorful candy sprinkles.”
In Glinda’s Pink Potion, you’ll find a Mango Dragon Fruit refresher—a hand-shaken concoction of creamy coconut milk, ice, and a scoop of real dragonfruit—for a happier, fruitier time.
Nondairy Strawberry Cream Cold Foam with a silky smooth texture and multicolored candy sprinkles are the toppings.
As is his custom, social media investigator Markie Devo is aware of the rumors surrounding the cooperation between “Wicked” and Starbucks. He has mentioned that he has obtained information from a company employee at Starbucks. This festive drink drop, if it is genuine, does not only provide you with a pair of themed beverages to carry about as you go trick-or-treating; these drinks actually sound amazing and offer two flavor profiles that are very different from one another.
As a result of its cold brew foundation, Elphaba’s Green Elixir contains a higher concentration of caffeine than you would get in a Refresher. Additionally, the peppermint syrup will impart a pleasant and refreshing flavor to the beverage, which will also be complemented by a hint of matcha.
The fruitier version of Glinda’s Pink Potion will have a higher level of sweetness, similar to the majority of the Refresher drinks that are sold at Starbucks. They do have green coffee extract in its base, which will give you a bit of a jolt, though not as much as Elphaba’s Green Elixir, if you are looking for a pick-me-up but are not a huge fan of the coffee flavor.
Refreshers are a good option for you this time. We understand if you are having trouble choosing between the two vibrant drinks; therefore, we hope that you will get the opportunity to sample both of them before they vanish like Halloween ghosts without a trace.
