Starbucks releases new products that nobody in all of Oz can pass up
As a longtime Wicked enthusiast who’s seen the musical more times than I can count and own every piece of merchandise known to Oz, I must say that Starbucks has truly outdone themselves this time! The upcoming releases are an absolute dream come true for any fangirl or fanboy like myself.
For several weeks now, it’s been clear that Starbucks is joining in the magical world of “The Wizard of Oz.” A recent press statement has added even more excitement to our journey along the yellow brick road at one of their stores. Let’s explore all the enchanting details set to debut between October 22 and the movie’s release on November 22.
“And we’ll have ourselves a little mixer.”
On October 22nd, the renowned coffee shop unveils two enchanting beverages: Glinda’s Favorite Drink and Elphaba’s Green Potion. While I’m a devoted Elphaba fan, Glinda’s drink seems too appealing to resist, as it “blends a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with creamy coconut milk, ice, and a dollop of real dragonfruit. It is then adorned with velvety non-dairy Strawberry Cream Cold Foam and vibrant candy sprinkles.” In Wicked’s vernacular, one might say that Glinda’s drink is “Pop. U. Lar.
In the musical, it is noted that the Green Elixir is similar to a Cold Brew from Starbucks, sweetened with Peppermint Syrup, and has a layer of velvety Nondairy Matcha cream Cold Foam on top, adorned with vibrant candy sprinkles. It appears that the Wizard enjoys this beverage, and others might as well. As revealed by Starbucks’ beverage developer Rosalyn Batingan, they drew inspiration for this recipe from Elphaba’s strong spirit and captivating green complexion while creating it.
Two weeks before the film’s premiere, certain retailers will stock merchandise inspired by “Wicked”, including drinkware for both characters. The collection includes cold cups and tumblers. Glinda’s cold cup boasts a prismatic design and a straw adorned with a wand-like topper, and can also be purchased as a keychain. If you prefer a more understated item, the site suggests a bright pink monogrammed cold cup with a golden lid that suits Glinda’s vibrant personality perfectly. Lastly, Glinda’s “Pearl Tumbler” features a beautiful floral design and includes a G charm.
Elphaba’s assortment kicks off with a luminescent ice cup and keychain boasting a pleated motif, reminiscent of the wizard’s auditorium, and adorned with a broom straw. Another glowing design is a tumbler showcasing the mystical elements of Oz, accompanied by a Grimmerie-shaped charm (the Book of Enchantments). The most motivational piece in the collection is the daring “Defy Gravity” ice cup, sporting a striped green straw and an inspirational phrase that glows. A checkered ice cup showcases silhouettes of both Elphaba and Glinda.
As a fellow enthusiast, if you find yourself drawn more towards the land of Oz than its witches, the Emerald City collection is tailor-made for you! Indulge in the Wiz-o-mania with a cold cup adorned with gemstone patterns and a hot air balloon topper. Alternatively, opt for a metallic green cold cup embellished with the city’s grandeur as a repeating pattern and a gold lid. For those who appreciate a touch of elegance, there’s a gold crackle cold cup boasting both a green lid and an Oz charm. Lastly, the pink and green swirl cold cup is a standout piece in the collection, subtly hinting at your fandom without being overtly Wicked. Don’t forget to complete your set with a Wicked tumbler!
“Come with me to the Emerald City.”
The “Enchanted Discovery Collection” showcases mugs inspired by the franchise’s beloved location-themed cups, but transports us to the magical world of Oz. Munchkinland’s mug displays the vivid hues and distinctive structures from the classic movie. The Emerald City is a sight to behold, just as the witches described it, “It’s magnificent and it’s all green!” before you spot the flying monkey and Elphaba’s hat. Lastly, Shiz University is portrayed through its uniform, Glinda’s luggage, and a depiction of the university itself.
“Unlimited. My future is unlimited.”
Among all the fascinating topics we’ve discussed, the upcoming gift cards really stand out. On October 22, an Emerald City tribute card will be launched, ideal for any Oz enthusiast. However, if you want to make a stylish purchase, wait until November 7 for the gold-toned keychain card. It even comes with a Grimmerie-themed case and demands a minimum load of $50.
