Starbucks will launch a “Wicked” drink collaboration on Oct. 22 — to celebrate the upcoming movie release in November.
“Wicked” is the musical about two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, who become friends. The Broadway hit has been made into a movie that opens in November.
A sequel will follow in November 2025.
The partnership with Universal Pictures will offer two drinks inspired by the main characters: Elphaba’s Green Elixir and Glinda’s Pink Potion, according to Wicked News Hub on X.
The Green Elixir will be a Starbucks cold brew with peppermint syrup, nondairy matcha cream cold foam and colorful candy sprinkles, and the Pink Potion will be a mango dragonfruit refresher hand-shaken with coconut milk, ice, a scoop of real dragonfruit, nondairy strawberry cream cold foam and colorful candy sprinkles, the post said.

The new drinks have also been discussed on the Starbucks Reddit page, r/starbucks.
“I finally found out/tried the new wicked collab drinks today, personally I wasn’t a fan of either drink,” one post said.
Though Starbucks has not officially announced the collaboration, a press release was leaked early, according to Yahoo Entertainment.
The Elphaba and Glinda rumored drinks also come on the heels of the “Wicked” collab with Stanley tumblers, which included two limited edition 40-ounce themed green and pink with gold accents. Both colors were also available in 20-ounce cups.
