Here’s how to score a free beverage at Starbucks today

KAMLOOPS – If you need an extra boost this afternoon to help get you through the week, you’re in luck.

Starbucks is offering buy one get one free drinks as part of their happy hour today. Happy hour runs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on select Thursdays at participating locations and the buy one get one free deal includes certain beverages in the Grande size or larger.

There's a catch – you can’t cozy up with a warm beverage like hot coffee, brewed tea, or Starbucks Reserve drinks – most of the beverages offered are chilly, like iced and cold brew coffee, frappuccinos, Pink Drinks, and Nitro Cold Brew. You can get a macchiato or matcha, though.
