Miranda Priestly Would Probably Send These New Starbucks Manila Drinks Back
Miranda Priestly demands her coffee, and you better deliver. Starbucks answers the call globally and brings the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2 drink collection to Metro Manila. Fans can finally sip exactly what Andrea Sachs sprints across New York to buy.
The global coffee giant rolls out four character-inspired beverages alongside the film’s theatrical release. You can grab these limited-edition cups from April 29 until June 1. Check out the official Starbucks Philippines Facebook page for official store availability updates.
Choose Your Runway Magazine Fighter
Starbucks based each new drink on the distinct personalities of the iconic film characters. The menu gives fans four distinct flavor profiles to try.
- Miranda Caffe Latte: Baristas construct this intimidating order with a no-foam, extra-shot, extra-hot Caffè Latte and skimmed milk.
- Andy Oatmilk Cappuccino: The cafe finishes off this pragmatic oat milk-based drink with caramel and cinnamon.
- Nigel Espresso Con Panna: This rich, stylish Doppio Espresso Con Panna features mocha and whipped cream.
- Emily Iced Chai Latte: Baristas amp up this classic iced chai with almond milk and caramel.
The Brutal Taste Test Reality
Does the collection live up to the Runway Magazine hype? International reviewers gave the lineup a rather harsh critique. Critics call the Miranda Latte surprisingly thin and watered-down, totally lacking the editor’s signature bite.
The Emily Iced Chai also falls flat, tasting more like sweet water than a bold spice blend. Meanwhile, the Andy Cappuccino divides tasters with an overpowering oat base and clashing cinnamon-caramel flavors. Read more about these international food reviews and trends at Philstar Life.
You only have one real standout choice if you want a guaranteed good drink. The Nigel Espresso Con Panna delivers the goods, blending rich espresso with a delicious “not-too-sweet hot chocolate” vibe. Reviewers overwhelmingly crown Nigel’s drink as the safest and most satisfying bet.
Catch The Sequel In Cinemas
The new movie hits Philippine cinemas on April 29, the exact same day the Starbucks drinks launch. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci all return to reprise their iconic roles. You can catch the local screening schedules at major Metro Manila theaters via ClickTheCity.
Director David Frankel returns to helm the highly anticipated sequel. The film also welcomes new heavyweights like Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu to the cutthroat fashion world.
