OCMD’s Starbucks® Summer Menu is Available Now!

Posted on by Haven

Located just steps from the beach and next to Quality Inn Boardwalk is Ocean City, Maryland’s very first official Starbucks® presented by OCMD Restaurants! Grab your beach gear, put on some sunscreen, and stop by for a cold, refreshing drink before heading to the beach, or a quick boost before your big OC conference. Stop in for one of their classic coffee blends or try the new Starbucks® summer menu!

Summer-Berry Refreshers

Summer-Berry Refreshers are back! The returning beverages are made with raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and water, then poured over raspberry-flavored pearls for a burst of flavor in each sip. You can also order the refreshers with lemonade in the Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher or with coconutmilk in the Summer Skies Drink.

“In the Central California neighborhood where I grew up, horchata was everywhere—on street corners, in convenience stores, and on the menu at most Mexican restaurants we visited,” said beverage developer Ricky Gonzalez, who helped bring the new beverage to the Starbucks® summer menu. “Every Sunday, we would have a family meal at a Mexican restaurant, and horchata was always a treat for my brother and me. It was icy, sweet, and spiced with cinnamon. It’s both comforting and refreshing.”
