Well if this isn’t the drink of the summer, I don’t know what is.<\/p>\n
Starbucks just released its summer drink menu, which includes the Tropical Butterfly Lemonade Refresher. It marries lemonade and ice with guava and passionfruit flavors, and you’ll find mango-pineapple pearls and a butterfly pea flower infusion.<\/p>\n
Wow, that description sounds like there’s a lot going on. But rest assured, this drink tastes and looks beautiful. Like seriously, you’re going to want to get your camera out. The color cascades from purple to pink to orange, thanks to the pearls at the bottom.<\/p>\n
I loved it at first sip, and then the refresher truly got better as I went. The mix of fruity flavors is smooth, unique (in a good way) and the right amount of sweet, and the lemonade adds a refreshing touch. It did have a tiny hint of tart to it – which I LOVE – but you might want to get the lemonade-free version if that isn’t your jam. While the butterfly pea infusion didn’t have a strong taste, the guava was the strongest fruit flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The pearls were a nice fruit burst to finish everything off. The mango was definitely more prevalent than the pineapple in the pearls. The flavor held strong as I nursed it, and my colleagues once again made fun of me for taking my time on an iced drink. But it was in the name of research! (And, OK, it IS how I normally do it…)<\/p>\n
One of the coolest things about this new Refresher is the ability to adjust your caffeine. There are three options: light caffeine (that’s what I chose, as it was my afternoon beverage), extra caffeine (which makes it an Energy Refresher), or caffeine-free. I am absolutely loving the ability to customize depending on your caffeine situation. Go Starbucks!<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to trying the other options, including the Energy version and the one with coconutmilk. If these don’t become a permanent addition, I might be writing a strongly worded letter to Seattle. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
