Starbucks Just Added New Summer Refreshers–But Customers Are Complaining That They Separate Instantly
July 7, 2023 by Faith Geiger
Summer comes with all sorts of good things: trips to the pool, vacations, and, of course, seasonal items at all of our favorite stores and restaurants. Starbucks recently announced a new lineup that had many of us feeling especially excited: Frozen lemonade refreshers. However, once they finally hit the menu, some customers were only disappointed due to the fact that the drinks separated quickly, creating an unappetizing experience.
At first glance, Starbucks seems to be giving us a lot to look forward to this summer. We’re always a sucker for seasonal beverages (we’re already awaiting the return of pumpkin spice, despite the health consequences), and on paper, these frozen refreshers sound delicious. They’re a fresh take on a classic: the Refreshers we all known and love with some real fruit and lemonade added in, blended with ice.
The flavors include Frozen Strawberry Acai Lemonade, Frozen Pineapple Passionfruit Lemonade, and Frozen Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade. The names alone are enough to make our mouths water. However, although they sound incredible in theory, customers and baristas alike are taking to social media to warn that these new drinks may not be all they’re cracked up to be in practice.
