If you’re looking to bring your valentine something sweet on the most romantic day of the year (*cough* February 14th *cough*), we highly recommend you head to your local Starbucks. The coffee chain is bringing back their Cherry Mocha — but only for a single week.
From today, February 7th, to Valentine’s Day, February 14th, you can pick up the chocolaty-cherry Starbucks seasonal classic. It can be ordered, hot, iced, or blended, and will always be doused with Valentine’s-themed pink sprinkles — unless you specify no sprinkles, of course.
“Our cherry treat-inspired mocha combines our signature espresso, Mocha sauce, and cherry flavored syrup,” the Starbucks site reads. “Topped with cocoa valentine sprinkles, it’s love at every sip.”
The Starbucks Cherry Mocha is basically chocolate-covered cherries in a cup. How could you not fall deeply in love with that?
When you head over to your favorite Starbucks, you’ll notice the bakery case has gotten a V-Day makeover. Starbs is also offering a Valentine’s Day cake pop and a heart-shaped sugar cookie for the holiday.
Of course, you don’t necessarily need a valentine to order and enjoy this drink. Us singletons are absolutely going to indulge in a Cherry Mocha at some point this week. A wise RuPaul once said, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen?”
Cherries are red,

Roses are too.

Amen, Ru. Amen.
The return of the Cherry Mocha has been something we’ve all been anxiously awaiting. Like Punxsutawney Phil, we’ve been waiting to come out of hibernation once the Cherry Mocha is available.
Before I get out of bed can someone tell me if Starbucks brought back the cherry mocha for Valentine’s Day. Thx

We’ve been writing love letters for months. And we sealed each note with a prayer and a kiss.
And sadly, some of us were duped. Curse you, Starbucks!
But finally, Starbucks granted our wish. The Cherry Mocha is back in stores.
Your wish is our command. Cherry Mocha is back Thursday, Feb. 7! 🍒🍫☕️

Shout it from the roof tops! Send out singing telegrams!
We’ve tried it. Two words: true love.
Hey anyone tried that mocha cherry from Starbucks yet— and if so how is it 👀

Wait — how does this Starbucks branch know what our dream date setting looks like? Did they read our minds?
Some lucky Starbucks customers will even be able to try before they buy. Not sure you’re going to enjoy the Cherry Mocha? Take a sample.
Just look how glorious the Cherry Mocha looks. It’s honestly too beautiful to drink.
Have you heard that Starbucks has a new drink? The Cherry Mocha is available until Feb. 14th, while supplies last, and hits all the feels! Grab one today for yourself, your significant other, or a friend, and don’t forget to appreciate those you love! #purduedining pic.twitter.com/HoV5d23mdi

And the Valentine’s Day cake pops are nothing to shake a stick at. Those heart-shaped sprinkles are making us happy.
We’re also dying to get our hands on a heart-shaped sugar cookie. Save a bite for us!
And if you ~forgot~ that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, this is your official reminder — from us, and Jake Tapper. Thanks, Jake.
🚨 🚨 🚨 VALENTINE’S DAY IS ONE WEEK FROM TODAY 🚨 🚨 🚨

Friendly reminder from your loyal cable news anchor friend
Head into your local Starbucks stat to get your hands on a Cherry Mocha. Otherwise, you’ll end up in a “Thank U, Next” situation.
Remember, the Cherry Mocha is only here for a week. So act fast in the name of love.
