Starbucks Cherry Mochas Are Back (But Only for a Week)

For some of us, coffee is a much better Valentine’s Day gift than candy or flowers ever could be. Starting today, Starbucks is making it easier to say “be mine” by bringing back their Cherry Mocha drink.

From now until February 14, you can order a hot, iced, or blended Cherry Mocha. The drink is inspired by chocolate covered cherries and includes hot espresso and steamed milk along with cherry syrup and Starbucks’ signature sweet mocha sauce. Each cup has a little extra holiday cheer, too, in the form of red and pink Valentine’s sprinkles on top of the mound of whipped cream.

If you’re more of a traditional sweets person when it comes to Valentine’s Day, you can pick up a few holiday desserts from the Starbucks bakery while you’re waiting on your Cherry Mocha. Festive Valentine’s Day cake pops made with rich chocolate cake and covered in milk chocolate icing and sprinkle heart candies will be in the case, along with heart-shape sugar cookies covered in white or pink chocolate and festive sprinkles.

If you’re planning to treat yourself or someone else at Starbucks for Valentine’s Day, make sure to do it soon. The Cherry Mocha and bakery treats will only be around until February 14, so you only have a week to indulge. Coffee date at Starbucks, anyone?
