\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Just in time for peak summer, Starbucks launched two new lemonade drinks with nondescript names: Summer Sunrise and Summer Sunset. The Summer Sunset is a blend of the pineapple tea infusion, a new item that launched this time last year, Passion Tango Tea, and lemonade. The new, exciting part of these two drinks is the cold foam; the Sunset in particular features a sweet Passion Tango herbal tea cold foam. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not quite the Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Infusions beverage, and it\u2019s also not quite the PTL (Passion Tea Lemonade); it\u2019s so non-committal and in-between that it\u2019s mediocre. While I can taste each of the flavor elements, it doesn\u2019t do either of them justice.<\/p>\n

I was hoping the Passion Tango cold foam would tie everything together, but it didn\u2019t. While the color of the Sunset is pretty (I see what you made me do there Starbucks), the execution reminds me of Crystal Light.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

The cold foam seems like a lot of extra work for little payoff. I watched the barista painstakingly wait for it to finish blending after she already mixed the tea lemonade concoction. Note for anyone who is lactose intolerant – the cold foam contains milk.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also 36 grams of sugar, but it doesn\u2019t taste that sweet. It\u2019s easy to drink without feeling like you\u2019re drinking classic syrup, so technically it delivers on the refreshing aspect. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Starbucks is cutting back on limited releases <\/a>by 30 percent, but somehow this drink still made the cut. It\u2019s just a blend of existing drinks with gimmicky cold foam and seems to be made mainly for the \u2018gram. <\/p>\n
