Previously, the iced coffee automatically came with Starbucks' classic syrup.

However, others haven’t been all that impressed by the flavor of the new coffee bean blend.

A barista friend did confirm the change in roast and default sweetener.

The iced coffee recipe update isn’t the only major change underway at Starbucks in 2024.
