Starbucks is launching a new “quintessentially British” cold brew coffee today - designed to combine the taste of cream tea and fudge.

The new Clotted Cream Fudge Cold Brew is the first ever drink to launch exclusively in the UK and is being released to celebrate 25 years since Starbucks first opened here. To create a cold brew drink, Starbucks uses coffee grounds that have been slow steeped in cool water for 20 hours.

The cold brew is then combined with vanilla flavour syrup and poured over ice, before being topped with a sweet cream foam infused with clotted cream fudge flavouring and finished with clotted cream fudge topping.

Sounds sweet, right? The new drink is available from today as a core menu item at all UK stores. You can also order it from Starbucks drive-thrus, or for home delivery through Starbucks Delivers via Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats. Keep in mind you’ll need to pay a delivery charge.

Clotted Cream Fudge Cold Brew in size Tall has 195 calories and costs £4.15, Grande has 292 calories and costs £4.35 and Venti has 389 calories and costs £4.50. Prices will vary across the country.

Greggs, Costa & Pret coffees have 'huge differences in caffeine', says report

Alex Rayner, General Manager at Starbucks UK, said: “As Starbucks celebrates 25 years of coffee contributions in the UK, from establishing Pumpkin Spice as an autumn icon, to being the first major coffeehouse to introduce Cold Brew to the UK high street in 2015, we are so excited to continue our coffee craft legacy by welcoming a new, permanent addition to our menus, exclusively available to the UK high street for the first time.

“Clotted Cream Fudge Cold Brew is a little bit special - developed with quintessentially British flavours in mind, it’s an homage to the people we have been proud to connect with over the years - and we can’t wait for you to try it as we look forward to the next 25 years together.”
