Blinks, get ready: Blackpink and Starbucks Singapore are dropping a fire limited-edition collab
Blackpink in Your Area — Blackpink and Starbucks are coming to Singapore!
The K-pop girl group sensation and everyone’s favourite coffee chain will be teaming up for a limited-time Blackpink and Starbucks special that involves a special drink, and more importantly, plenty of merch!
Slated for release on July 25 at 10am, the Blackpink + Starbucks collection’s highlight is a cool new Blackpink strawberry choco cream Frappuccino (S$8.40 for Tall, S$9.20 for Grande, S$10.20 for Venti).
It’s meant as a summer drink, which means it is the perfect refreshment for the perennially warm Singapore weather.
At the base, the black-and-pink-hued concoction is a combination of strawberry syrup, dark chocolate sauce, oat milk and chocolate curls.
It’s then finished with a crown of light-pink whipped cream and a piece of heart-shaped chocolate, channelling the chic and stylish vibe of the girl group with pizzazz.
The drink is just the tip of the iceberg though, because the Blackpink + Starbucks collab will also be bringing a slew of limited-edition collectibles to select Starbucks stores in Singapore.
While stocks last, of course.
This line-up consists of 11 types of drinkware and six lifestyle accessories, each dazzlingly slick in the group’s iconic black and pink colour palette — How You Like That?
Drinkware includes reusable cups, mugs and tumblers that aren’t only dyed in black and pink but also jazzed up with eye-catching drawings, glamourous rhinestones and more.
These chic Blackpink + Starbucks reusables are meant to encourage Blinks to eschew single-use items and to BYOC (bring your own cup) instead to show up for the planet.
In fact, you can get a set comprising the limited-edition drink and a 16oz reusable cup. The cup will be Grande-sized but you can get the drink in all sizes: Tall, Grande and Venti.
The reusable cup is only available for purchase at S$8.90 with purchase of the limited-edition collaboration drink, and is limited to four pieces per Blackpink Frappuccino.
Besides the drinkware, the Blackpink + Starbucks collection will also be treating fans to a spate of interesting limited-edition lifestyle accessories.
This includes reusable tote bags, yoga mats, passport holders, and key chains — which you can use to rep your bias group, show you’re a Blackpink Typa Girl, and tell the world: “All Eyes on Me”, please.
Other than the coffee brand’s actual retail stores, the Blackpink + Starbucks collab is also available in Singapore through the Starbucks online store and on LazMall & Shopee Mall.
Two items will be exclusive to the Starbucks online store: The yoga mat and pink rhinestone stainless steel cold cup 16oz.
Other than that, Blinks can also purchase the Blackpink + Starbucks physical gift card at all Starbucks Singapore stores, except for stores at Changi Airport that aren’t located at Jewel.
Each customer is limited to only four such gift cards — regardless of design — and each card has a minimum hold of S$30 and a maximum of S$300.
Plus, here’s some good news for Starbucks Rewards members — you’ll be given early access to the drink, reusable cup promo and Starbucks card one day earlier on July 24 at 10am!
The Blackpink + Starbucks collab special drink and the reusable cup combo will also be available for mobile order via the Starbucks app and Starbucks Delivers from July 26, and available on GrabFood from July 31, while stocks last.
