By no surprise, this summer is going to be a brutally hot one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the scorching, bright sun hits you, so does the dehydration and crave for something, anything to freshen you up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lo and behold, just around the corner is your saving grace, otherwise known as Starbucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The global coffeehouse chain has an endless amount of menu items to choose from, some more popular than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, a typically overlooked classic is at the top of my list every time, and hopefully by the end of this article, it\u2019s at the top of yours, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starbucks refreshers are the go-to drink to quench your thirst this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as the name suggests, refreshers are refreshing, but they are so much more than that, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are four main ones to choose from on the menu: Strawberry Acai, Mango Dragonfruit, Kiwi Starfruit and the Pink Drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a customer, you have the option to get it with lemonade or just regular water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After trying each one multiple times, the greatest by a landslide is the Strawberry Acai refresher with lemonade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a long day\u2019s work, the only thing on my mind is to reward myself with the only drink that deems acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That drink is life changing, but it is also dangerous because it is addicting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s right. Whether it\u2019s the little ounce of caffeine or the delicious fruit that floats around in the cup, something about those refreshers is seriously concerning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you try it for yourself and have a little sip, you\u2019ll want another, and another, and before you know it, you\u2019ll be checking your bank account only to find out it has a negative balance (this is totally not based on a personal story).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can get your sweet, savory Refresher at the SUB or off Highway 77.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
