Starbucks releases 3 slushie-style drinks for summer

Three new drinks are on the Starbucks menu this summer — but only after 3 p.m., as part of their “Sunset Menu.”

The caramel espresso granita — a coffee-flavored slushie — is only 160 calories for a grande, the Youthberry white tea granita is only 140 calories and the strawberry lemon limeade granita is only 170. That’s a big difference from the 400-plus calorie drinks Starbucks released last summer. But, of course, the drinks are all packed with sugar — at 25, 34 and 41 grams, respectively.

The menu also includes two kinds of trifles — chocolate brownie and strawberry shortcake.
