5 Starbucks Drinks to Try this Summer

We all love a good Starbucks drink on a summer day, right? I'm slowly becoming an expert on the best summer drinks that are the most refreshing on the hottest days. I compiled my 5 go-to tried and true best refreshers/teas for the summer! Some I created on my own and others were recommended by barista friends! (So you know they're good when they're barista approved!)

1) Strawberry Acai Refresher with Lemonade and Raspberry

How to order: Ask for a venti Strawberry Acai Refresher with lemonade and 5 pumps of raspberry syrup. Adjust more or less per size!

This is my FAVORITE! It tastes so sweet, but not too much that it isn't refreshing. The lemonade really balances the syrup for a sweet and sour iced drink.

2) Peach Green Tea with Raspberry Syrup

How to order: Ask for a venti green tea sweetened with peach juice and 4 pumps of raspberry.

This is perfect if you want a tea, but don't like the bite of straight green tea (me!). The peach and raspberry is the perfect summer combination for a refreshing drink.

3) Black Tea with Lemonade and Peach juice

How to order: Ask for a venti black tea with lemonade and add peach juice.

Another tea moment here, but with a twist from the previous. I love black tea when I need a little bit of a caffeine kick. This one is also good if you want a simple drink that doesn't hold back on the flavors with the peach juice!

4) Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher with Lemonade

How to order: Ask for a venti Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher with lemonade.

I love how simple this one is! If you are someone that gets shy ordering a complex drink, try this one because it is already on their menu and is a simple drink to try, but still has SO much flavor! And the aesthetic in pictures is amazing.

5) Matcha with Almond Milk and Raspberry Syrup

How to order: Ask for a grande matcha, sub almond milk, and add 5 pumps of raspberry syrup.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not the biggest matcha fan. I can't get past the strong earth flavor, but I was convinced to try this one and I was thoroughly impressed. The raspberry adds a fruity twist without taking away from the matcha, just making it more subtle.

I hope you found some summer drink inspiration from Starbucks! Refreshers and teas are my absolute favorite for a summer pool day. They're so refreshing and with these fun twists, you are bound to be getting tons of questions on your pretty drinks!

With love,
