14 International Starbucks Drinks That Americans Are Missing Out On

Around these parts, the caramel macchiato reigns supreme at Starbucks, and the pumpkin spice latte causes quite the stir during the fall season. But browsing the Starbies' menus from other nations makes those drinks look lackluster. From Japan to Peru, here are some of the tastiest-looking drinks we wish would make their way to U.S. menus.

Location: United Kingdom

France, Spain, and England all claim that crème brulée originated in their respective countries, but the UK Starbucks was the one to put the Frappuccino version on its menu.

Location: Thailand

Thailand really said, "If Belgium's not gonna do it, we will." This thing has "rich chocolate sauce" and mocha sauce. Oh, and it's topped with chocolate whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings. If you're a chocoholic and you're not ordering this, you're making a mistake. 

Location: Peru

The union of cinnamon and chocolate is a holy one, spearheaded by the likes of chocolate iced cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate with a kick. Drooling yet? One look at the Peru Starbies' Cinnamon Chocolate Truffle Latte and you'll definitely have to wipe your chin. 

Location: United Kingdom

OK, this latte is begging to be enjoyed with a stroopwafel. If we fly United to the U.K., we can take the complimentary on-flight stroopwafel with us to the Starbucks across the pond. Totally worth it, right? 

Location: Australia 

Green grape isn't a flavor we see in many drinks in the U.S., but the flavor magicians Down Under have piqued our interest with this refresher. Not only does it feature grape and yuzu, but it's also blended with lemonade. 

Location: South Korea

What sorcery is this?! How and why is this not a thing in the States? It's absolutely criminal. A cold brew float is sheer genius. South Korea, you've cracked the caffeinated code.

Location: Japan

Like "love and peace" but "love and peach," get it? The drink has super cute branding, and as fans of all things peach-flavored, we're crossing our fingers this makes it to the U.S. one of these days.

Location: Italy

White chocolate? Good. Pistachio? Goooood. Starbucks' shaken espressos? Oh, baby. You're saying we could start our day with this bad boy and end with a big ole plate of fresh pasta? Book that flight to Italy ASAP. 

Location: China

Mango and passion fruit is an elite flavor combination, and China hit the nail on the head offering this as a blended beverage at Starbucks. We'd absolutely try it. 

Location: Singapore

Singapore unveiled a "Shiok-ah-ccino" (less sweet) mini campaign, unleashing two new drinks. If you ask us, the star of the show is the Lychee Strawberry Cream blended drink. That's a flavor combination we're gonna need to test out immediately.

Location: Thailand

1. This drink is beautiful. The colors scream, "I'm refreshing, drink me!"

2. It's topped with a fresh pineapple slice.

C'mon. If you don't want this, you're lying to yourself.

Location: Japan

Honestly, Japan's Starbucks menu puts stars in our eyes. We could probably have rounded out this entire list with exclusively Japanese menu offerings, but then we'd have to change the title. Just read the name of this drink. Then look at the picture of it. Is it a beverage or is it art? 

Location: United Kingdom

You had us at "caramelized" and sealed the deal at "macadamia." The brown sugar sprinkled on top is the chef's kiss. We totally want to try this latte.

Location: Chile

Look at Chile leaning into universally beloved Latin American flavors. The caramel macchiato is blushing.
