This drink was GOOD. Initially, I was a little skeptical that Starbucks would release a summer-y beverage so close to the return of the beloved PSL. For me, it&#8217;s never too early for a PSL. But after trying the Star Drink, I&#8217;m over here hoping summer will hang on a little longer so I can stay in the mood for this one.<\/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\/2020\/08\/Starbucks-Star-Drink-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Starbucks Star Drink Top\" title=\"Starbucks Star Drink Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think Starbucks does drinks mixed with coconut well, and this did not disappoint. It&#8217;s sweet, with a small hint of tartness from the starfruit. It&#8217;s much sweeter than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/07\/06\/review-starbucks-violet-drink\/\">Violet Drink<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/04\/19\/review-starbucks-pink-drink\/\">Pink Drink<\/a>, and even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/05\/06\/starbucks-dragon-drink-review\/\">Dragon Drink<\/a> (also Starbucks Refresher flavors mixed with coconutmilk). But not in a &#8220;this should be a dessert drink&#8221; way. My initial thought was that it tastes like a Starburst candy&#8230; like a combined pink and yellow Starburst. Not sad about that at all!<\/p>\n<p>The Star Drink goes down easy and smooth.\u00a0I (coconut)milked it &#8211; see what I did there? &#8211; for a little over an hour and it didn&#8217;t get too watery from the ice or lose its flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>With just 45 milligrams of caffeine in a Grande, I&#8217;d order this drink as a small pick-me-up in the afternoon when I&#8217;ve already had my morning coffee. It&#8217;s the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing, and gives that small caffeine hit.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of the other Starbucks beverages with coconutmilk, give this one a try. The flavor is unique, tropical, and fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong>\u00a0$4.45<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong>\u00a0Grande<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong>\u00a0Starbucks<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong>\u00a09 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong>\u00a0130 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 65 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of total carbohydrates, 1 grams of dietary fiber, 22 grams of total sugars, 1 grams of protein, and 45 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Starbucks Star Drink?
