We may have officially entered the so-called “dog days” of summer, but the heat isn’t slowing down Starbucks.

On Monday, the international coffee chain revealed it would update its seasonal menu once more. Weeks after confirming its beloved Unicorn frapp would reappear this season and rolling out its new Blue Coconut menu, Starbucks previewed almost half a dozen new drinks as part of its upcoming Orange Cream menu.

The new drop channels the nostalgic and refreshing vibes of an iconic summertime treat and taps into a recent trend in which coffee fans add a splash of OJ and maybe some sparkling water to their freshly pulled shot of espresso—but it does so in a way that’s inherently Starbucks, transforming the fruity and creamy combo into five new signature beverage creations.

Starbucks Has a New Orange Cream-Inspired Drink Menu Heading Out This Summer

Even better, Starbucks’ new Orange Cream recipes are heading to nearly all drink categories. So even if you’re not a huge coffee fan (or wince at the idea of adding a citrus element to your latte), you can still enjoy the bright blend of flavors as an iced tea or frappuccino.

Later this month, five new (yet familiar) sips will be available to order in stores, online or in the app, according to the July 6 announcement: Orange Cream Cold Brew, Iced Orange Cream Latte, Iced Orange Cream Matcha, Iced Orange Cream Chai and Orange Cream Frappuccino.

  • Orange Cream Cold Brew: Features a bright, creamy citrus layer over Starbucks’ signature cold brew.
  • Iced Orange Cream Latte: Pairs Blonde Espresso with milk and orange-vanilla flavors over ice.
  • Iced Orange Cream Matcha: Combines matcha, milk and ice and is layered with creamy citrus notes.
  • Iced Orange Cream Chai: Blends spiced chai and milk with a bright orange twist.
  • Orange Cream Frappuccino: A refreshing, nostalgic sip, the Orange Cream Frappuccino blended beverage combines sweet orange and vanilla flavors with milk and ice, and then is poured over a layer of whipped cream for a bright twist and topped with a final layer of whipped cream.

The fun doesn’t stop there, as Starbucks said it’s also releasing a limited-edition merchandise collection in collaboration with Southern California-based fashion brand Dandy Worldwide later this month.

The coffee chain said its “laid-back” new release is the “culminating chapter” of its summer road trip story, which also includes its adorable Miffy collab and a road-ready merch collection.

When Will Starbucks Drop Its New Dandy Merch and Orange Cream Drink Menu?

All five drinks, as well as its new Dandy collection, will be available at Starbucks locations nationwide starting on Tuesday, July 28. Until then, fans can enjoy the rest of its summer drink menu, which includes creations like the Butterfly Refresher and the Unicorn Cake Pop.
