Starbucks is launching two new coffee-based drinks in the UK, as it strives to tap into consumers’ growing appetite for healthy beverages. The Cold Brew Vanilla sweet cream and the Cappuccino Freddo, will both be available in stores throughout the UK from Thursday. The former combines vanilla syrup and semi-skimmed milk with cold brew coffee – coffee that has been brewed by steeping beans in cold water for 20 hours or more. The latter is espresso topped with foam made from skimmed milk. Starbucks said that both drinks are lower in calories than the average coffee drink it sells. Starbucks is not alone in facing the challenge of changing consumer behaviours and tastes, and swelling demand for healthier products.
