The Cherry Mocha, which debuted last February for a limited run, is back through Feb. 14 at participating U.S. locations, the Seattle-based coffee giant announced Thursday.
Starbucks says the drink includes a "slightly sweet mocha sauce and candied cherry syrup melted together with hot espresso." Some of the drink's fans say it tastes like a chocolate cherry cordial.
The drink is available hot, iced or blended and topped with whipped cream, sugar and cocoa Valentine's sprinkles, according to Starbucks.
Also, for a limited time, there's a heart-shaped sugar cookie and a chocolate Valentine's Day Cake Pop with heart candies.
The new @Starbucks cherry mocha literally tastes like a cordial cherry chocolate bonbon..... And I love it!

Grocery stores have two other special products: the Ready-to-Drink Molten Chocolate Iced Latte, and Mocha Flavored Ground Coffee or Classic Hot Cocoa K-Cups.
Starbucks often has limited edition drinks around holidays.
Last year's Halloween-themed drink, the Witch's Brew Frappuccino, was a purple blend of "toad's breath" which tasted like the orange crème Frappuccino. It had a swirl of "bat warts" added (chia seeds) and was topped with vanilla whipped cream with a dusting of green "lizard scale" powder.
In late December, Starbucks reintroduced three black and white, tuxedo-themed New Year's drinks.
