The national chain will add an oat milk latte infused with the extra virgin olive oil; and a new toffeenut iced shaken espresso with vanilla sweet cream infused with extra virgin olive oil into a cold foam.
The drinks add a spoonful of unflavored oil, which adds about 120 calories to the drink, according to Starbucks.
