Starbucks Pink Drink: Summer’s New Drink
I love Starbucks. There’s no secret about that! However, I’m perusing my Instagram feed this week, and I kept seeing photos of a Pinkish looking drink from Starbucks. People were going nuts! So, being the person I am, I headed to my local Starbucks and asked about the #pinkdrink.
Of course, it’s part of Starbuck’s Secret Menu. And what a great #hack idea on a Starbucks drink!
So what is the Pink Drink from Starbucks?
It’s a Starbucks Strawberry Açaí Refresher mixed with coconut milk (instead of water). And since I struggle with a lot of dairy problems, this is a DOUBLE WIN for me! You can only order this drink in the U.S. right now. You will not find the Pink Drink on the menu, but you can definitely ask your barista for the pinkdrink.
And if they don’t know how to make the pink drink, then just tell them exactly what they need to do: make a Strawberry Acai Refresher with coconut milk.
Starbucks describes their Strawberry Açaí refresher as “sweet strawberry flavors accented by passion fruit and açaí notes and lightly caffeinated with green coffee extract!”
And…. my barista added a shot of Raspberry in it for me. OMG, that made it a little sweeter and tasted EVEN better than the first time I tried it. Here, Starbucks… take all my money!!
What does the Pink Drink taste like?
Starbuck’s Pink Drink screams SUMMER! With strawberries and a touch of coconut milk for a creamy- frap like looking tall summer drink. It tastes like strawberries and sweet cold, creamy milk.

Since I don’t like coffee, I feel like this is calling my name big time. I need to see if I can get this pink drink over the weekend.
