Starbucks Refreshers as the go-to drink
By no surprise, this summer is going to be a brutally hot one.
When the scorching, bright sun hits you, so does the dehydration and crave for something, anything to freshen you up.
Lo and behold, just around the corner is your saving grace, otherwise known as Starbucks.
The global coffeehouse chain has an endless amount of menu items to choose from, some more popular than others.
However, a typically overlooked classic is at the top of my list every time, and hopefully by the end of this article, it’s at the top of yours, too.
Starbucks refreshers are the go-to drink to quench your thirst this summer.
Just as the name suggests, refreshers are refreshing, but they are so much more than that, as well.
Refreshers are just the right amount of sweet mixed with just the right amount of health. They are lightly caffeinated drinks made with real fruit added in.
As the cherry on top, the drinks are one of the most inexpensive items on the menu, making both your stomach, your wallet and your bad decisions feel good.
There are four main ones to choose from on the menu: Strawberry Acai, Mango Dragonfruit, Kiwi Starfruit and the Pink Drink.
As a customer, you have the option to get it with lemonade or just regular water.
After trying each one multiple times, the greatest by a landslide is the Strawberry Acai refresher with lemonade.
If I could describe it in pictures, just imagine running in slow motion on the beach by the ocean on a not too cold, not too hot day.
After a long day’s work, the only thing on my mind is to reward myself with the only drink that deems acceptable.
That drink is life changing, but it is also dangerous because it is addicting.
That’s right. Whether it’s the little ounce of caffeine or the delicious fruit that floats around in the cup, something about those refreshers is seriously concerning.
Once you try it for yourself and have a little sip, you’ll want another, and another, and before you know it, you’ll be checking your bank account only to find out it has a negative balance (this is totally not based on a personal story).
As much as I despise how these delicious, savory refreshers hurt my bank account and steal a good chunk of my hard-earned paycheck, I’m willing to look past that due to the unmatched joy every sip brings me, especially on those hot days when both you and I are going to need it the most.
You can get your sweet, savory Refresher at the SUB or off Highway 77.
