Rarest Stanley Cups Color List
Posted Tue Sep 30 2025
Wherever you are, there’s a good chance you've seen a Stanley Cup—whether in person or on social media.
The tumbler, which gained major popularity through TikTok, is a global trend that’s here to stay. Celebrities like Adele have fueled the demand even more, but with that, some colourways have become incredibly rare.
We’ve put together a list of the rarest Stanley Cup colors, focusing on those that are almost impossible to find in stores. All five tumblers we've highlighted are only available on the resale market, and their high resale value speaks to just how quickly they sold out. If you own one of these, consider yourself lucky!
1. Starbucks x Stanley Philippines Exclusive Quencher “Blue”
Our first stop on this train of exclusivity is actually an exclusive item itself. Not only was this “Blue”, sometimes known as “Tiffany Blue”, Stanley Quencher Tumbler a Philippines-exclusive release in 2023, but it was also made in collaboration with Starbucks. It’s unsurprising, then, that this cup is one of the rarest colorways in the Stanley collection.
Trying to research this item is a nightmare, as there is next to no information available about it online from what we could see; a true testament to its rarity. All that comes up are a bunch of resale listings of this 40oz Tumbler, which, depending on where you look, are usually listed closer to the $1,000 mark than $0. Considering you can buy a regular Quencher for just under $50 right now, that’s a serious price rise that’s almost entirely down to the exclusivity of this colorway.
2. Lainey Wilson x Stanley Quencher “Watermelon Moonshine”
There’s a bit of a theme with this list; you’ll come to realize, the further you read on, that collaborations are at the heart of exclusivity. The Lainey Wilson x Stanley Quencher team-up, for instance, is another incredibly rare colorway that was released to celebrate the American country music singers' 2023 single Watermelon Moonshine.
Now, we can’t deny that this Quencher looks good dressed in copperish red and green like a watermelon; however, we don’t think its color scheme justifies just how much it costs on the resale market. With such a high resale price, getting hold of one is incredibly challenging, which is why it is one of the rarest Stanley Cups on the market.
3. AntiSocialSocialClub x Stanley Jealousy Quencher “White”
Back again with another collaboration, although this one is with the popular Los Angeles–based streetwear brand AntiSocialSocialClub, or ASSC. That point is made quite clear through its design, with the Quencher featuring ASSC branding in grey on the side of this subtle white tumbler.
Despite its minimalist design, this is one of the rarest Stanley Cups around, as far as we could see. Not only does it boast a high resale value well over its original retail price, but you’d be hard-pressed to find much information about it online. All you’re really presented with are listings to buy one on the likes of StockX and Grailed, thus indicating just how rare this Quencher is. We’re not surprised, though; ASSC is a hugely popular brand, so a collaboration with Stanley 1913 was always going to be a hit.
4. Starbucks x Stanley Target Exclusive Quencher “Winter Pink”
Released in January 2024, the Target-exclusive Starbucks x Stanley Quencher is the newest colorway on this list, yet it’s already earned a reputation for being one of the rarest. There’s a reason multiple Target workers were alleged to be fired for buying them, and that’s because they knew, like most of us, that this Starbucks collaboration would be a hit. Being a store-exclusive, too, the stock of the “Winter Pink” Quencher was always going to be limited.
As seen all over TikTok, chaos ensued in Target stores upon its release, and, as a result of this pandemonium, the Quencher now commands a seriously high price tag on the resale market. Given this is both an exclusive and a collaboration, though, this colorway was always going to become one of the rarest Stanley Cups around.
5. Starbucks x Stanley Holiday 2023 Quencher “Cherry Red”
Sticking with Starbucks and the coffeehouse’s “Cherry Red” Quencher, released in collaboration with Stanley 1913 for the 2023 holiday season. Well, that’s not strictly true, as this stylish metallic red design was supposedly first introduced in May 2023, but was brought back in November and was once again a hit among fans of the Quencher model.
As shown by our list so far, it’s no surprise this thing was as popular as it was, seeing as it was released in partnership with Starbucks. You’ve probably guessed already that this Quencher is incredibly expensive to buy second-hand, which is your only option to get one, as you won’t find this cup listed by a retailer. This is almost exclusively down to its initial popularity, reducing its recirculation supply, and causing it to become rarer than most Stanley Cups today.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Got questions about the Stanley Cup craze? Here are some quick answers to the most common ones.
What is special about the Stanley Quencher?
The Stanley Quencher stands out for combining practicality with style.
Built from recycled stainless steel with vacuum insulation, it can keep drinks hot for up to seven hours, cold for 11, and iced for two days, making it highly functional for daily use. Its large 40-ounce capacity also appeals to those wanting to stay hydrated throughout the day without constant refills.
However, the Quencher’s popularity owes much to its sleek design and wide range of colours, turning it into a fashionable accessory as well as a practical item. Collaborations, such as the Starbucks x Stanley limited releases, and celebrity endorsements, like Adele using one on Carpool Karaoke, have further fuelled demand.
Social media is the biggest factor in the Stanley Cups' "special" factor, though. TikTok, especially, has also amplified its status, making it not just a water bottle but a cultural trend.
How to spot a fake Stanley Cup?
Genuine Stanley Quenchers are made from high-quality stainless steel, so if the material feels flimsy or lightweight, that’s a red flag.
The logo should be crisp, centred, and etched cleanly; not blurry or peeling away.
Packaging is another clue, as authentic cups come in sturdy, branded boxes with proper labelling.
Finally, the price can be telling; if it’s dramatically cheaper than retail, it’s likely not the real deal. When in doubt, buy directly from Stanley or trusted retailers to avoid being caught out.
