Launching Tuesday (March 5) in coffee shops across the United States, Starbucks is introducing a new twist on a menu favorite, thanks to Ariana Grande. The brew house teamed up with the recent Grammy winner as its newest brand ambassador and unveiled the Grande-inspired Cloud Macchiato beverage.
The drink features a special “Cloud foam” recipe and includes egg whites combined with espresso and a caramel drizzle.
How did this flavorful collaboration come about? According to Starbucks, “We’ve long been fans of Ariana Grande’s (and we’re both fans of Clouds), so we’re excited to work with her to celebrate the debut of Cloud Macchiato,” a press release detailed.
