Bubble tea lovers can appreciate that Starbucks' boba-inspired beverages have been revealed, offering refreshing summertime flavors with multi-sensorial raspberry-flavored pearls. The new lineup of Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers are available in varieties like Summer-Berry, Summer-Berry with Lemonade and the Summer Skies Drink made with creamy coconut milk. To properly accommodate the poppable pearls, these beverages feature a wide, compostable straw.
Starbucks beverage developer Simon Vuong says, "We started out thinking about summer moments like hanging out by the pool and having a barbecue with friends. We have never had a blue beverage, but when we first created the recipe, the color really captured the feeling we were going for—reminiscent of long, summer days and bright skies for everyone to enjoy."
