Seven Starbucks drinks to ring in the warm weather
If you should ever find yourself parched and needing a pick-me-up during spring break, look no further than Starbucks! Starbucks has plenty of drinks that are perfect for the sunshine and warm weather ahead. From fruity and refreshing to cozy and relaxing, these drinks are exactly what you’ll need over spring break.
- Mango Dragon Fruit Starbucks Refresher
- This drink reminds me of relaxing in the sun, embracing its warm rays (but be sure not to forget sunscreen). The perfect balance between sweet and fruity, this drink will brighten your day and leave you feeling refreshed and energized!
- Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink
- A sip of this aesthetically pleasing drink will send you to paradise instantly. The flavorful combination of pineapple, coconut milk, and passion fruit awakens your senses.
- Kiwi Starfruit Starbucks Refresher
- This drink is slightly sour in my opinion, so I wouldn’t recommend this drink if that’s not your cup of tea…or juice? I would describe this drink as a similar flavor to a green Jolly Rancher. It has a ton of different flavors, which gives the drink itself a lot of dimension. If you are looking for a drink with a little bit of a sour punch, then the Kiwi Starfruit Refresher is just right for you!
- Pink Drink
- I got this drink almost every single day during the summer of 2017, so trust me, it is summer and warm-weather approved by me! This drink is very sweet, with hints of coconut milk and strawberry. Ordering the Pink Drink will bring about feelings of sunshine and bright days ahead.
- Iced Chai Latte
- This drink is very hit or miss-either people love it or they hate it! When ordering a chai, be prepared for strong spices. If you aren’t a fan of foods like pumpkin pie or spice cakes, then this probably isn’t the drink for you. However, I find iced chais to be perfect for a warm day! Warm sips of cinnamon and cloves mixed with the warmth in the air is exactly what I strive for when I order a chai latte on a sunny spring day.
- Very Berry Hibiscus Starbucks Refresher
- If you’re looking for some pep in your step, but don’t like the taste of traditional coffee, this drink is perfect for you! Starbucks’ Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher uses coffee extracts instead of ground coffee beans to provide energy to customers who don’t like coffee or would prefer a different kind of energy boost. The enticing berry flavors in this drink are ideal for the warm, sunny days ahead.
- Dragon Drink
- Finally, we have the Dragon Drink. The Dragon Drink has the base of the Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher with a splash of coconut milk in it. This drink is fruity and delicious, not to mention aesthetically pleasing as well. Walking out of Starbucks (or driving out of the drive-thru thanks to COVID-19) with this drink in your hand will tell everyone you see that you are ready for sunglasses and sunscreen kind of weather!
Have a safe, fun, and hydrating spring break!
