We Tried Starbucks’ New Pink Drink, and Here’s What We Thought
The Internet has been obsessed with Starbucks’ Pink Drink the past few days. You’ve probably seen it floating around Instagram, but in case you haven’t, check out #PinkDrink on Instagram.
As soon as I saw news of this, I trekked out to the nearest Starbucks during my lunch break to try this mysterious (and aesthetic) drink. Verdict? It’s definitely worth a try.
Not only is the drink a gorgeous shade (Pantone’s color of the year), but it’s also delicious, low in calories, and perfect for the warmer days ahead. Bonus? There’s a bit of green coffee extract in the drink, which gives its drinkers a mild caffeine boost.

But hold up — before you tell the barista you’d like the “Pink Drink,” you should know what’s inside and how exactly to order it. It is a Strawberry Açaí Starbucks Refreshers™ with coconut milk and your choice of strawberries and/or blackberries. Starbucks has too many pink-colored drinks, so save yourself some miscommunication and embarrassment, and just tell the baristas what you want in your drink.

A venti came out to be just $3.95 and tasted just like Strawberry Calpico to me. Others believe it tastes like Nesquik’s Strawberry Milk or even pink Starburst candy. Either way, it’s a tasty thirst-quencher that won’t ruin your every day diet.
