A taste test review of Starbucks' chilled cup 'Strawberry Crush Milk,' where chunks of fruit roll around in your mouth.

Starbucks has added a new product to its chilled cup series for early summer, ' Strawberry Crush Milk, ' which was released on May 19th, 2026 (Tuesday), so I tried it right away.

Strawberry Crushed Milk | Starbucks® Chilled Cup

This product uses strawberry pulp and juice that have been carefully hand-picked one by one, and the juice and pulp content is 11%. Heating is prohibited as it may alter the flavor.

The ingredients include raw milk (less than 50%), strawberry pulp, sugar, dairy products, and strawberry juice. One 180g bottle contains 141kcal.

You drink it by sticking a thick straw into the lid, which has the Starbucks logo on it.

With the first sip, a large chunk of fruit rolled into my mouth, so I opened the lid out of curiosity and this is what was inside. It doesn't look like there are particularly large chunks inside, but when I drank it through the straw, it didn't get clogged, and it felt like a solid, firm piece of fruit in my mouth—a perfect balance. The sweetness of the strawberry milk, a mixture of fruit juice and fresh milk, combined with the sweetness and tartness of the fruit pulp, made for a very satisfying drink.

Starbucks chilled cup 'Strawberry Crush Milk' will be released on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, with a suggested retail price of 250 yen (excluding tax).
