Starbucks Hot Chocolate, Lemonade & More Menu With Prices – Comfort Meets Innovation in 2026
This is the non-coffee, non-tea corner of Starbucks: hot chocolates, steamers, lemonades, and plain milks, the menu that covers kids, evenings, and anyone skipping caffeine entirely. This 2026 page lists every option with prices and calories, from $2.25 cold milk to $5.45 loaded seasonal hot chocolates.
Everything here except the lemonades is caffeine-light or caffeine-free: hot chocolate carries a trace from cocoa, steamers carry none at all. The steamers are the sleeper menu, flavored steamed milk at latte texture for a dollar less than any latte.
Hot Chocolate
The classic Hot Chocolate (mocha sauce, steamed milk, whip) plus seasonal Peppermint and Peppermint White versions. A Grande runs 370 calories with whip; kids temp and short sizes make it the family default. About 25 mg of caffeine from real cocoa.

Steamers: The Best Drinks Nobody Orders
A steamer is steamed milk plus any syrup, finished like a latte without the espresso. The Vanilla Creme is a warm vanilla milk, the Caramel Brulee Creme tastes like the holiday latte minus the caffeine, and Steamed Apple Juice joins the family in fall. They cost about a dollar less than lattes, come in every size at kids temp on request, and take every syrup on the wall, which makes them the most customizable caffeine-free drinks in the store.
What to Order Here
For kids
Short Hot Chocolate at kids temp, a Vanilla Steamer, or cold milk with a cake pop from the Treats menu. All under $5 combined with the pop.
For evenings
Any steamer: latte comfort, zero caffeine, actually helps rather than hurts sleep.
For dessert without commitment
The Peppermint Hot Chocolate, no whip, drops to about 330 calories and drinks like liquid candy cane.
For hot summer days
The Blended Strawberry Lemonade is the menu’s only true slushie and the cheapest blended drink Starbucks makes.
FAQs About Hot Chocolate, Lemonade and More
Does Starbucks hot chocolate have caffeine?
About 25 mg in a Grande from the cocoa in the mocha sauce, roughly a tenth of a latte. The white chocolate version carries none.
How many calories in a Starbucks hot chocolate?
About 370 for a Grande with whipped cream and 2% milk; no whip saves 70, nonfat milk another 60.
What is a Starbucks steamer?
Steamed milk with flavor syrup, no coffee, no caffeine. Any syrup works: vanilla and caramel brulee are the standing menu versions.
Can I get steamed apple juice?
Seasonally, yes; it is a fall fixture and one of the cheapest warm drinks at about $3.45 when available.
Is the lemonade fresh?
It is a chilled lemonade blend, not fresh-squeezed, but it mixes into teas and Refreshers across the menu, which is its real job.
What is kids temp?
About 130 F instead of 160, drinkable immediately. Any hot drink here comes kids temp on request, and baristas default to it for obvious kid orders.
Is there a sugar-free Hot Chocolate on the menu?
Not a completely sugar-free Hot Chocolate, since the mocha sauce contains sugar. However, in 2026 you can order a lower-sugar “Skinny-Style” Steamer by using the new Sugar-Free Caramel syrup along with non-fat milk or almond milk. For even less sugar while still enjoying chocolate flavor, simply request “half-pumps” of mocha sauce.
What is the “Swicy” Lemonade everyone is talking about?
“Swicy” refers to the new Spicy Lemonade Refresher line. These drinks blend the classic sweetness of fruit and lemonade with a noticeable kick from a proprietary chili powder, creating the popular “sweet heat” flavor profile that many customers are loving right now.
Can I get a Hot Chocolate with the new Protein-Boosted Milk?
Yes! You can add the Protein-Boosted Milk to a Grande Hot Chocolate. Doing so increases the protein content to approximately 20–24 grams, turning it into a much more satisfying and filling treat compared to the standard version.
How many Stars do I need for a drink from this category?
Most handcrafted beverages on the Hot Chocolate, Lemonade & More Menu require 200 Stars for redemption. Simpler items like bottled waters or juices usually fall into the 100 Stars redemption tier.
Are the Energy Lemonades caffeine-free?
No. Although they appear in the Lemonade & More category, the Iced Energy Lemonades contain caffeine sourced naturally from green coffee extract. For a completely caffeine-free lemonade option, choose the Classic Lemonade or the Blended Strawberry Lemonade.
The Bottom Line
This page is the family-and-evenings menu: real hot chocolate, slushie lemonade, and the criminally underrated steamers, all under $5.45. Learn the steamer trick and caffeine-free stops being a compromise. For caffeine-free COLD options, the herbals on the Cold Tea menu and water builds on the Refreshers menu round out the set.
