Earlier this year, the drink made a brief return at the Coachella music festival, fuelling speculation about a wider comeback.
The revival has now been confirmed, but Starbucks has not yet announced whether the drink will be available in the UK.
The company has also not confirmed whether the recipe will remain the same as the 2017 version.
The announcement was made on June 2, with more information expected to follow in the coming weeks.
Until then, UK fans will have to wait to find out whether the return of the iconic drink will include British stores.
Further details are expected in the coming weeks.
