Driving the news: Starting Tuesday, the Pistachio Cream Cold Brew joins the returning Pistachio Latte and Red Velvet Loaf on the winter menu.

• The handcrafted beverage has a base of Starbucks Cold Brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and is topped with "pistachio cream cold foam and salted brown buttery sprinkles," the company said.

Flashback: The Pistachio Latte debuted at Starbucks locations nationwide in January 2021 and was inspired by a beverage that first launched at a Starbucks Reserve Roastery.

• The latte is available hot, iced or as a Frappuccino blended beverage.

What they're saying: "Pistachio is the perfect flavor to follow the holidays and carry us through the winter season," Rosalyn Batingan, who works on the Starbucks beverage team, said in a statement. "Its smooth and sweet profile delivers a feeling of warmth and coziness, even when served cold."

• "With the Pistachio Cream Cold Brew, coffee lovers will savor the ultra-smooth combination of pistachio cream cold foam atop our cold brew," Batingan said.
