In a wave of grassroots momentum, supporters of the late Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk are calling on Starbucks to immortalize his favorite drink — Mint Majesty tea with two honeys — by officially adding it to menus nationwide under the name “The Charlie Kirk” or “Kirk Special.”
The campaign, launched on September 14, 2025, via Change.org, gained traction after a resurfaced video from a Turning Point USA event showed Kirk smiling as he revealed his go-to order:
“I literally drink this for one reason — because I lose my voice very easily. It’s just Mint Majesty tea with two honeys. And I drink like nine of them a day.”
The clip, originally posted in July, has since gone viral across TikTok, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), with fans posting their own orders in tribute. Many say the drink has become a comforting ritual in the wake of Kirk’s assassination on September 10, just hours after he spoke at a restaurant leadership event2.
📌 Petition Details:
-
Title: Get Charlie Kirk’s Starbucks Order On Every Starbucks Menu
-
Organizer: Minion Thomist
-
Goal: Rename Kirk’s favorite drink in his honor
-
Status: Over 50 signatures and growing2
Starbucks has not yet commented on whether it will consider the request. However, the company recently clarified that customers are allowed to use names like “Charlie Kirk” on orders, though political slogans remain prohibited5.
Supporters argue that the drink is more than just a beverage — it’s a symbol of Kirk’s voice, presence, and passion.
“He always ordered the drink and kept it with him while debating, so it’s like an iconic thing,” one supporter wrote. “It’s important to not forget him.”
Whether Starbucks will brew up a tribute remains to be seen, but for many, ordering Mint Majesty with two honeys has already become a quiet act of remembrance.
