How would you describe the taste of the kiwi starfruit drink? (self.starbucksbaristas)

I know we’re supposed to advertise it more, but I just cannot. If someone asks how it tastes, I say, “It’s not my kind of drink, I personally prefer the mango dragonfruit” because I cannot with a good conscience suggest that drink to people lol

Green apple jolly rancher. I actually dont mind it if you leave out the kiwis pieces. Very berry is worse imo.

Apple jolly rancher exactly. It was the first thing I said when I tried it.

That’s what I do! I’ll have it with lemonade and no pieces in a tall and it’s perfect. Definitely sour candy vibes though

My personal take: If you left a green apple snow cone in the summer sun all day, mixed it with hydrogen peroxide and called it a refresher <3

i had to make a few of these at work today and the smell, even with my mask on, is so horrendous it makes me gag. i honestly don’t want the mask requirement to ever end JUST bc i can’t imagine smelling the drink at full force 😂

Was shaking one a month or so ago, lid wasnt quite sealed, ended up with half a tall in my mask...almost threw up.

OMG SAAAME. 😂 There’s something about that smell that’s just 🤮

I personally think it taste like a jolly rancher so that’s what I say and end with but it’s our least popular refresher

Radioactive waste mixed with an Apple jolly rancher and enough sugar to give a hummingbird the shakes. Enjoy. 🙃

When our store ran out of refresher bases we would tell each other:
“we’re all out of refreshers”
“even kiwi?”
“no kiwi doesn’t count”
“we’re all out of refreshers”
“even kiwi?”
“no kiwi doesn’t count”

Sweaty gym socks and sugar. With a hint of jolly ranchers.

The pink medicine you drank as a kid. (The thick pink antibiotic that didn’t taste bad)

Wow this drink tastes like that time I had strep throat

i don’t think it’s bad tbh, but it’s not something i would chose over any other refresher. they could have made it much better than it is, kiwi is normally a great flavor, but this just tastes like bs
reclusivegiraffe 3 points 2y ago
i’m taking bets on how long it’ll take sbux to do away with it. i’ll make 3 or 5 a week, max.

It hasnt budged for almost a year. What makes you think they'll be getting rid of it in the next month?
reclusivegiraffe 1 points 2y ago
oh i meant i make 3 or 5 kiwi starfruits a week
givemeapples 1 points 2y ago
Ohhhh. Damn I thought you had some sort of insider scoop for a second :P
reclusivegiraffe 2 points 2y ago
i wish 😔

I’ve tried each variation but only a small sip because I’m allergic to kiwis. So, when customers ask, I just tell them that I’m allergic to kiwis so I haven’t tried it.

Tropical starbursts have a lime green colored one that tastes just like it
Hubalubadubdubb 2 points 2y ago
When people ask which refresher is good I say "they're all good except the kiwi starfruit is kinda gross" lmao

Sour and sweet with coconut milk. I love this refresher too much imo it just tastes good and the Dragon drink is good too the others ones are not my fave tbh...
Humble-Comparison190 1 points 2y ago
i think the refresher w lemonade tastes like flat mountain dew
missthemac 1 points 2y ago
Smells and tastes like green apple candy, but the star drink (with coconut milk obvi) tastes like a melon high chew candy
