What Is on the Starbucks Cold Coffee Menu in 2026?

Every drink on the Starbucks cold coffee menu in 2026: cold brew, nitro, iced espresso, iced lattes, shaken espressos, plus calorie counts and the lowest sugar orders.

Quick Answer

The Starbucks cold coffee menu in 2026 splits into five families: Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew, Iced Espresso drinks, Iced Shaken Espressos, and Iced Lattes. Each family has its own caffeine profile and calorie range, from a 5 calorie Nitro Cold Brew up to a 440 calorie Iced White Mocha with whole milk.

The new launches for 2026 are the Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, an Iced Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew, and a revised Cold Foam lineup that now includes Protein Cold Foam, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cold Foam, and Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam.

Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew

Cold Brew is brewed for 20 hours at room temperature, then chilled. Nitro Cold Brew is the same coffee infused with nitrogen for a creamy texture and a foamy crown. Both are stronger in caffeine per ounce than the standard iced coffee.

• Cold Brew: 5 calories Grande, 205 mg caffeine.
• Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew: 110 calories Grande.
• Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew: 220 calories Grande.
• Iced Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew (new 2026): 230 calories Grande.
• Nitro Cold Brew: 5 calories Grande, 280 mg caffeine.
• Vanilla Sweet Cream Nitro Cold Brew: 70 calories Tall (only sold in Tall and Grande).

Nitro Cold Brew is only available in Tall and Grande because the nitrogen infusion does not hold properly in a Venti cup over ice.

Iced Espresso and Iced Americano

These drinks lead with the espresso shot and use ice and water rather than milk as the diluent. They are the lightest options on the cold coffee menu.

• Iced Caffe Americano: 15 calories Grande, 225 mg caffeine.
• Iced Espresso (3 shots): 15 calories, 225 mg caffeine.
• Iced Caramel Macchiato: 250 calories Grande with 2% milk.
• Iced Caffe Mocha: 290 calories Grande with 2% milk and whipped cream.

Iced Shaken Espressos

The Iced Shaken Espresso line is one of the fastest growing categories in the menu, launched in 2021 and expanded every year since. The shaking process aerates the espresso and chills it quickly, producing a smoother less bitter flavour than pouring espresso directly over ice.

• Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso: 120 calories Grande, 170 mg caffeine.
• Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso: 100 calories Grande.
• Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso: 110 calories Grande.
• Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (new 2026): 120 calories Grande.
• Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with cold foam: 220 calories Grande.

Iced Lattes and Iced Flat Whites

The classic milk-forward cold drinks. These run higher in calories because the milk to espresso ratio is roughly 80 to 20.

• Iced Caffe Latte (2%): 130 calories Grande.
• Iced Vanilla Latte (2%): 190 calories Grande.
• Iced Caramel Latte (2%): 200 calories Grande.
• Iced White Chocolate Mocha (2%): 420 calories Grande with whipped cream.
• Iced Flat White (whole milk): 170 calories Grande.
• Iced High Protein Latte (chocolate): 320 calories Grande, 27 g protein.

The Cold Foam lineup

Cold Foam is what turned the iced coffee category into a dessert category. The 2026 lineup now includes:

• Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam: 110 to 150 calories per Grande topping.
• Salted Caramel Cream Cold Foam: 150 calories per Grande topping.
• Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cold Foam (new 2026): 130 calories per Grande topping.
• Protein Cold Foam: 80 to 100 calories per Grande topping with 8 g of added protein.
• Matcha Cream Cold Foam: 70 calories per Grande topping.

Protein Cold Foam is the only entry in the lineup that meaningfully shifts the macros of the base drink. The rest are functionally desserts on top of coffee.

Lowest calorie cold coffee orders

If you want a sub 50 calorie iced coffee that still has flavour, the easiest paths are:

1. Iced Caffe Americano with a splash of almond milk and two pumps sugar-free vanilla: roughly 25 calories Grande.
2. Nitro Cold Brew, black: 5 calories Grande.
3. Iced Black Coffee with a splash of oat milk: roughly 20 calories Grande.
4. Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with almond milk instead of oat and two pumps instead of three: roughly 80 calories Grande.

The takeaway

The Starbucks cold coffee menu in 2026 covers everything from a 5 calorie Nitro Cold Brew to a 440 calorie Iced White Mocha. The new launches worth trying are the Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, the Iced Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew, and the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cold Foam. If you are tracking macros, default to Iced Shaken Espressos with almond milk and add Protein Cold Foam. If you are tracking caffeine, Nitro Cold Brew at 280 mg per Grande is the strongest cold coffee on the menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the strongest cold coffee at Starbucks?

Nitro Cold Brew at approximately 280 mg of caffeine per Grande is the highest caffeine cold drink on the menu. A solo shot of espresso over ice with water also clocks in at 225 mg.

What is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

Iced coffee is hot brewed double strength then poured over ice. Cold Brew is steeped for 20 hours in room temperature water and never heated, producing a smoother less acidic profile.

Is the Horchata Oatmilk Shaken Espresso vegan?

Yes, with oat milk it is fully plant based. The cinnamon and vanilla syrups are also vegan.

How much does cold foam cost as an add on?

Cold foam add ons range from $1.00 to $1.50 in most US stores. Protein Cold Foam is priced at the higher end of that range.

What is the lowest sugar cold coffee drink at Starbucks?

Black Cold Brew, Nitro Cold Brew and an Iced Americano all have zero added sugar. If you want a touch of sweetness, ask for two pumps of any sugar-free syrup. Sugar-Free Vanilla and Sugar-Free Caramel are both stocked year round in most US stores and add no calories.

Why does Nitro Cold Brew not come over ice?

The nitrogen infusion creates a cascading foam crown that ice would disrupt. Adding ice also dilutes the drink quickly, breaking the velvety texture that defines Nitro. Order it as is and the drink will stay cold for 20 to 25 minutes without ice because it is poured from a refrigerated tap.
