Starbucks unveiled a brand new limited edition drink called the Smoked Butterscotch Latte. The drink was launched on Feb. 16 in Starbucks stores across the United States and Canada, and many fans of the drink are comparing it to butterbeer from the "Harry Potter" series, which is sold at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
"It combines Starbucks full-bodied espresso with steamed milk and smoked butterscotch sauce, finished with a sprinkling of smoky butterscotch sugar," a Starbucks spokesperson told BuzzFeed.
"Starbucks Green Tea Latte has been a popular beverage in Starbucks stores ever since we introduced it nine years ago," said Emily Fazio, who is in charge of the team that develops Teavana drinks for Starbucks. "We took flavor cues from the green tea and paired it with ingredients like mint, lemon and basil to make it a refreshing and restorative experience."
Both drinks are available as hot, cold or in Frappuccino form.
