Free reusable red cup at Starbucks Tuesday, Nov. 17, with any holiday drink, while supplies last

On Hold:  Single-company promotion; awaiting the editor’s decision on whether it belongs in the paper under the no-endorsement rule.

Starbucks customers who buy any handcrafted holiday drink on Tuesday, Nov. 17, will get a free collectible reusable red cup, the company says.  The offer is for participating stores only and lasts while supplies last, so stores may run out.

“Handcrafted” means a drink a barista makes to order, such as a latte, rather than a bottled drink from the cooler.  Starbucks did not say how many cups each store will have, or whether licensed Starbucks counters inside grocery stores, airports or Target stores will take part.  Customers who want one should ask their store.

What is on the holiday menu

Starbucks says its holiday menu arrived Nov. 5.  New this year:

• Tiramisu Velvet Latte (hot or iced) and Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew, topped with a mascarpone cold foam and a cocoa cookie dusting.
• Apple Pomegranate Refresher, with pomegranate-flavored pearls, also offered as a coconutmilk “Snowy Apple” drink or with lemonade.
• New iced versions of returning flavors, including an Iced Caramel Brulée Cream Chai and an Iced Sugar Cookie Cream Matcha.
• Two new or updated warm sandwiches:  a Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese and a reworked Turkey & Stuffing Sandwich.

Returning favorites include the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte and Gingerbread Chai, Starbucks says.  For dog owners, a holiday pup cup design is available for the first time at select coffeehouses for a limited time.

Starbucks did not list prices in its announcement; prices vary by store and drink size.
