Starbucks’ Summer Refreshers! 

By Jordan Taylor and Mia Warren

 Starbucks Refreshers are a great drink for a hot, sunny day during summer. They have a great selection of flavors to choose from. We have taste tested the flavors and will be giving our honest review on them. 

Strawberry Acai Refresher : 

     The Strawberry Acai Refresher has been a long-time favorite drink for many. It is a very refreshing, fruity drink with a nice light-pink color. It has a combination of strawberry flavor with a hint of acai and is finished with freeze-dried strawberries. Most people when they think about Starbucks’ refreshers think about this drink. A local Benicia student states,“ I love the mixture of lemonade and strawberry acai flavor, making it perfect for summer and a favorite everyday drink.” This refresher has stayed consistently popular—for good reason.

Sage Mint Green Tea Refresher : 

     The Sage Mint Refresher is an unusual drink on the Starbucks menu. It’s unusual because it’s not as sweet as the other drinks Starbucks normally sells. It has hints of mint and sage, and an interesting cooling effect. It’s a very refreshing drink and is great if you want a less sweet, more tea-like refresher. The refresher itself is exactly what I would think of when someone says “refresher” because of the mix of green tea with sage and mint. This mixture gives a great pop of flavor.

Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher : 

     This drink is not only vibrant in color but has a very strong flavor itself. The Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher is a very tropical and summer feeling drink. Its vibrant tropical purple color is super pretty and makes the drink seem super fun to have during the summer. At first, you taste the flavor of mango but then a slight and delicious taste comes from the dragon fruit. The flavor is unique, making it a special drink to get from Starbucks. There are actual pieces of dragon fruit within the drink which are yummy bits of texture in the drink. This drink is definitely for the sweet lovers. 

Summer-Berry Refresher : 

     As a summer seasonal drink, the Summer-Berry refresher offers a mix of blueberry, blackberry, lemonade, and additional raspberry hints. This drink really does represent summer in a drink. 

     In conclusion, all three Starbucks refreshers are great drinks for the summer heat, and a perfect solution for your sweet cravings. They offer a delicious way to stay hydrated and have tons of different fruity flavors, and may even boost your energy. Who doesn’t love a nice refresher on a warm summer day to brighten their mood!?
