If you&#8217;ve never had actual dragonfruit before, it includes diced dragonfruit on top.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>While I typically go for coffee, coffee, and more coffee at Starbucks, I&#8217;ve been gravitating more toward the Refreshers these last few months for something sweet and caffeinated. So needless to say, I was thrilled to see this one go on the menu, as I&#8217;m a huge fan of the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Starbucks-Dragon-Drink-Closeup.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Starbucks Dragon Drink Closeup\" title=\"Starbucks Dragon Drink Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Dragon Drink did not disappoint. Not only does this drink look pretty, it also tastes pretty. (I have a feeling this will be the summer&#8217;s most Instagrammed drink.) It&#8217;s much sweeter than the Pink and Violet drinks &#8211; in a good way. I often feel the coconutmilk outweighs the taste of the Refresher flavors in the Pink and Violet, but this was not the case with Dragon Drink. The mango and dragonfruit flavors shined through, with the right hint of creaminess from the coconutmilk. It truly was refreshing and had me wishing I was sitting by the pool instead of at my desk.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Since it is pretty sweet, I think I&#8217;ll stick to a grande when I get this instead of upgrading to a venti. The grande was just enough.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Try this!
