Elphaba's Cold Brew is a custom blend of small cans of beer sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with dairy-free matcha cold foam and colorful green candy sprinkles.

“When developing this recipe, we were inspired by Elphaba's bold energy and stunning green skin,” said Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. “Our signature cold drink gets an unexpected twist of peppermint, topped with a dairy-free matcha cold foam for a touch of Elphaba’s famous green, finished with colorful candy sprinkles.”

Additionally, new Wicked-inspired Starbucks cards and drinkware are available at select Starbucks locations for a limited time and while supplies last.
