Popular Non-Coffee Drinks
One of the most popular non-coffee drinks at Starbucks is the Italian soda, made with club soda, flavored syrup, and topped with cream. Some of the most classic flavors are raspberry and blackberry.

The Green Tea Frappuccino is also a beloved classic. This creamy frozen beverage, made with Starbucks’ renowned matcha green tea powder, has the perfect blend of sweet and tart flavors, and contains no coffee. It’s a versatile drink that can either be ordered alone, or blended with one of the many syrup and cream flavors offered.
