Treat for coffee-lovin’ mommy
For Mother’s Day, Starbucks is offering the floral Mom Card kit with greeting card and envelope with an initial activation fee of P500. With a big hug, the pink-and-purple card would make for a simple but meaningful gift for the coffee-loving mumshie.
Download the Starbucks Philippines app on her mobile phone, create a new account and register the card to earn her a free drink with two add-ons (soy milk, whipped cream, hazelnut syrup). Mommy also gets a complimentary cake slice on her birthday.
Summer drinks
Starbucks just rolled out two cold-drink varieties which are available until June 2: Midnight Mocha and Tea-ramisu Frappuccinos.
Ideal for dark chocolate lovers, Midnight Mocha is rich and bittersweet. The blended beverage with a base of black cocoa-infused coffee, has java chips, whipped cream and cocoa powder dust.
Now a bestseller, Tea-ramisu Frappuccino has a creamy cheesecake profile. It is flavored with mascarpone cheese and thick Japanese
matcha, covered with whipped cream and crumbled green tea cookie bits. Tea-ramisu caters to those who like the grassy taste of green tea—an acquired earthy taste.
Both drinks can be paired with the savory Spinach Mushroom Dutch Pancake, a crepe-like roll filled with creamy spinach and sautéed mushrooms, or the Classic Italian, a pesto sandwich with turkey ham, salami, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
These items were introduced at the recent Starbucks Summer Grand Launch at SMMall of Asia Atrium, along with new desserts: Pistachio Dome with white chocolate mousse and Chocolate Babka (non-Kosher) sweet bread with Belgian chocolate.
Also returning this summer is a seasonal favorite—the flaky cream-filled Maple Pecan Danish.
Starbucks Card collectors can also add to their stash the fun Frappuccino Cards. Available in four color combinations (sold by loading it up with P1,000; maximum of two cards per person), these can be used to take mom out to a coffee date on Mother’s Day. Visit www.starbucks.ph.
