It’s not like any of us need an excuse to get a refreshing, cold drink at Starbucks in the middle of summer. But here’s one anyway: Today, customers who order cold, handcrafted drinks will get a free, limited-edition reusable straw at participating Starbucks locations in the U.S. and Canada (while supplies last). The straw offer applies no matter how you order — in-store, on the Starbucks app or even via a delivery app like DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub.


To get your free straw, all you have to do is order a handcrafted cold beverage today, in any size. Qualifying beverages include: Iced Energy beverages, Cold Coffees (such as cold brews, iced coffees, and iced espresso beverages), Starbucks Refreshers, Frappuccinos, Iced Teas and Lemonades. The straw is rainbow colored and compatible with the Starbucks cold cup lid and most reusable Starbucks cold cups, so you can use it to sip your favorite drinks all summer long.
