Starbucks is removing 13 drinks from its menu

By the end of the fiscal year in September, Starbucks will eliminate about 30% of its menu. “As part of our plan to get back to Starbucks, we’re simplifying our menu to focus on fewer, more popular items, executed with excellence,” the company told Today.

“This will make way for innovation, help reduce wait times, improve quality and consistency, and align with our core identity as a coffee company,” the coffee chain added. While some customer favourites may be gone for good, similar drinks will stay on the menu. Below is the list of the 13 drinks leaving the menu and their respective alternatives, per the outlet:

1. Iced Matcha Lemonade - As an alternative, Starbucks recommends Green Tea Lemonade, which shares similar citrusy and earthy notes.
2. Espresso Frappuccino - Customers can drink the Coffee Frappuccino instead, as it offers a blend of coffee, milk and ice. It can be modified with a shot of espresso.
