After a hugely successful launch in the United States, Starbucks is now introducing UK customers to the highly sought-after Stanley sky blue thirst quencher with a brand new collaboration.

The Starbucks collaboration is just one of countless versions available of the viral Stanley Cups that have garnered several million views on TikTok. So, rest assured these limited-edition cups will be in high demand, having sold out fast across the pond.

The iconic insulated cup not only looks great but also holds more than a litre of liquid, which is sure to keep you well hydrated this summer. It’s made of 90 per cent recycled stainless steel, too, and the double insulation guarantees your drink of choice, be it water or your favourite Starbucks frappe, will stay cool all day long.

But once these sky-blue beauties are gone, they’re gone, as the limited-edition cup is only available while stocks last. But, before you panic and speed over to your nearest Starbys, we’ve got all the information you need to ensure you can be one of the lucky few to bag one for yourself.

First things first, it’s worth noting that the cups can only be purchased in-store and you must be a Starbucks rewards member to have access to the collaboration. Luckily, it’s super simple to sign up – all you need to do is download the Starbucks UK app from your app store or via the Google Play store and rewards membership is completely free. Even if you don’t manage to score a Stanley, the app is worth having for caffeine lovers, as you can also accrue stars, earn free drinks and receive treats on your birthday.

Once you’ve signed up, check your nearest Starbucks store’s stock availability using this link. Head over, buy the cup for £54.99, and scan your Starbucks UK app at purchase. Then, all that’s left to do is delight in your new reusable cup.
