Do Ya’ll Shake Your Refreshers? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Kind_Fox_951
I know that a lot of the more seasoned baristas don’t care to shake them especially in rushes. I try to shake all of them because I know I hate when my passion tea lemonade isn’t shaken.

listen, i definitely understand the importance of shaking and i usually do. HOWEVER, when someone in the dt orders eight trenta mango lemonades, you can most likely bet that i won’t shake em. it’s so inconsiderate especially if it’s during peak.

Honest question, because I haven’t tried it, how does the color turn out without shaking?
audrey_mae_ 2 points 2y ago
if you put the berries in last then it’ll be clear. if you put them in first it’ll be *kinda* colored but it’s still pretty colorless

Usually if I'm just str8 pouring I put the berries in first and give them a swirl when I put in the base, it'll mix in the color a lot better than you think!

was in the middle of a rush once when i was making a trenta iced passion tango tea and didnt know the lady was standing right in front of pick-up. i didnt shake it, i lidded it then handed it to her. she then asks me, “ummm arent you gonna shake it??!!” after that i started shaking almost all refreshers -.-

I will always shake it when it has coconut milk it in but other then that probably not…

Same - coconut milk is always! I never shake iced teas and I sometimes shake refreshers

I can be backed up from Maine to Florida I will always shake it. Customers complaining about waiting is not as bad as them complaining to me about me making their drink wrong right in front of them.

I shake it if there’s coconut milk but if it doesn’t I just pour it back and forth between the cup and shaker

if someone orders more than two? they are not getting shaken i fear.......

i only don’t shake during peak when it’s a refresher/lemonade with no berries. anything with coconut milk or still with berries in i always shake. also when i have a lot of time i shake everything lol

Unless it has customers or one of my supervisors is breathing down my neck then I won't bother with shaking them-- the Siren™ wants us to go fast doesn't she?

Usually I would shake them, but when I need my times down standard isn’t an option at that point

When I worked for the Green Bastard I shook them all. But when it was rush time I’d shake in the cup. It’s an old Jedi trick I know. Otherwise I might batch like 4 refreshers in a shaker then dilute in the cup. I’d still give them a little cup shake just out of muscle memory.

I will always shake it if it had coconut milk in it but other then that probably not ever
