when the weekly update came out my coworkers and I tried the nitro lemonade and from every single one of us, please do not make yourself suffer as we did, absolutely rancid

Tastes like acid reflux
ckt113816 points1y ago
generally coffee and acid is that way
Koala-Fluffy13 points1y ago
"Tastes like a hangover" was my impression 🤣
pancakecafe3 points1y ago
Because it causes acid reflux
Wes-Anderson1459 points1y ago
It’s so gross, like why tf is this even an option but you can’t mobile a water
binf--bird33 points1y ago
Made it, gave it the best shot I could, it genuinely tasted like stomach acid. It tasted like I had just thrown up and put the aftertaste in a cup.
Ashamed_Bag_791328 points1y ago
Whoever came up with the idea should be fired
Responsible_Snow710949 points1y ago
Theyre apparently still employed. It has to be the same durr-du-durr that came up with the kiwi refresher
lewtathamiv5 points1y ago

It’s existed outside of Starbucks for a while, nobody in corporate came up with this, just added the ability to ring it in
claretamazon4 points1y ago
It's a thing overseas, especially in Asian countries. From what I understand it was only released on the West Coast, my East Coast store doesn't have it.
cookiemonstah874 points1y ago
Do they use lemonade overseas? I was under the impression they add a little lemon juice which seems like it might be less... refluxy
grumpysnail7551 points1y ago
I’m on east coast and we have the option?
claretamazon1 points1y ago
Huh. That's interesting, we don't have the option on our register nor the signage.
bestowcurse14 points1y ago
The best way I can describe the taste is "not bad but also not good" at first then I wanted to die right after that First Sip Feeling™️
Unicorn_Warrior124813 points1y ago
It tastes like urnex
crescent_coop9 points1y ago
at least urnex looks cool
galaxydisco175 points1y ago
How do you know what it tastes like? Are you okay?
Unicorn_Warrior12485 points1y ago
One time I accidentally pour urnex in an urn with coffee still in it and it was the most disgusting smell and I could practically taste it. I had that same experience drinking cold brew with lemonade
galaxydisco173 points1y ago
Ahhh okay, I was concerned
tinseltesseract10 points1y ago
No one has ordered it. I mean no one. We haven’t received a single order for it at my store since it launched
blueteas6 points1y ago
this has been my bf's drink of choice for almost a year now (with classic syrup!) almost pissed when i saw them actually add it as an option
kaesantis6 points1y ago
I've already tried that and just...no
most diabolical shit you could ever drink ong
boopsbittie6 points1y ago
Trash
lonclefemelle4 points1y ago
i’ve tried lemonade with a blonde ristretto shot and it isn’t that bad actually. tastes like an arnold palmer. i wouldn’t go out of my way to order it, but it was a pleasant surprise.
zipblockbag1 points1y ago
Yeah me too, I think the cold brew lemonade tastes similar to an Arnold Palmer. Personally I wouldn’t order it either but I think everyone is overreacting lol
Difficult-Resist37804 points1y ago
Had a coworker who drank this constantly three years ago. Was vomit inducing then just as it is now.
theblackwarlock444 points1y ago
Ngl i actually didn’t mind the taste

Former barista here. I used to have a customer that would order a lemonade with a shot of espresso. Ratio may have been better than this making it pleasant. Never bothered trying it though.
impasse6023 points1y ago
Its fucking gross. This whole spring launch is a disaster nothing good came out
cookiemonstah872 points1y ago
I was so excited for the energy drinks, too. Such a disappointment
Particular_Youth1013 points1y ago
Battery acid 💀💀 it's so bad. It's drinkable but it's unpleasant the whole time
misteeleyoman3 points1y ago
Surprisingly not bad, I am disgusted at myself, tastes pretty alright if you add classic and lemonade.
Maleficent_Beyond6652 points1y ago
So if you cover up the coffee taste with copious amounts of sugar? Lmao
misteeleyoman1 points1y ago
yeah pretty much
Maleficent_Beyond6651 points1y ago
Valid
ContributionNew20482 points1y ago
It’s not bad honestly. I think it taste like black tea lemonade with an after taste of coffee
natalie_____ [OP]1 points1y ago
i’m debating trying it now
ContributionNew20482 points1y ago
Do it! & imagine this exact description. Black tea lemonade with nodes of coffee afterwards but you have to use classic for it to work! DONT FORGET THE CLASSIC
natalie_____ [OP]1 points1y ago
i tried it during my shift today, and made sure not to forget the classic!! and oh man i personally really liked it 😂 i get what you by the black tea part , thank you!!!
ContributionNew20482 points1y ago
Hahaha! This is great! I was so quick to judge originally, then I tried it and it was so shocking! I’m so happy to hear you tried it!! I’m glad to help! 😁
RGBME242 points1y ago
its great!! I use sparkling water in the recipe makes a great taste with little after taste!
[deleted]2 points1y ago

cookiemonstah871 points1y ago
I could see this being better. The ratio seems much better if it's not half and half, plus the milder flavor of the blonde
[deleted]1 points1y ago
[deleted]
cookiemonstah871 points1y ago
Makes sense to me! When I tried the half and half ratio, it tasted like iced tea at first... but the aftertaste was so bad!!!
Character_Army_5732 points1y ago
Omg idk about you guys but i tasted this at work and holy shit I liked it!
foxyfit4 points1y ago
From one partner to another I say this lovingly, I think your taste buds are broken. This combination is like hot armadillo vomit smells in the middle of a sweltering Florida summer.
greenssv2 points1y ago

Jaded_Fun_71332 points1y ago
Nitro w lemonade is awful… idk who’s idea that was
natalie_____ [OP]1 points1y ago
i don’t know about nitro with it, oh gosh 😖 but the regular cold brew with lemonade was honestly fine… and classic syrup
SurfPopcorn1 points1y ago
It tastes like dishes washed with lemon soap, at least it is what I imagine. It's bad. We tried it, not good.
Ok-Web56021 points1y ago
tastes like how soy sauce smells tbh…
Former-Highway-66651 points1y ago
we tasted it. it’s like cheap cigarettes, or really fermented dough! try it, yum!
fawnaluna1 points1y ago
it taste like what i imagine the dishwater testes like
darkwolf5231 points1y ago
I saw Pepsi selling nitro with Pepsi/ vanilla Pepsi. Almost vomit
wduke20151 points1y ago
It legit taste like the aftermath of throwing up but before brushing your teeth….. very specific but very accurate imo.
Leesbux20011 points1y ago
we tried it and two of my coworkers liked it
4shotsin1 points1y ago
Lemonade overseas is actually lemon-lime soda, like Sprite or 7-up.
Shetlips4201 points1y ago
As a starbucks employee, that shit is some of the dumbest shit, in 2nd place actually (frapps is the first one), the starbucks cooperation ever came up with. They were probably all dopped up in a office room, and one guy was like “let’s do cold brew with lemonade.”, then they all just agreed on it.
overall, no one has ever ordered it, and it’s disgusting.
rgbjackal1 points1y ago
Delete this post LOL
mythreial1 points1y ago
It tastes like how dirty socks smell, when wet....
undetermineddelusion1 points1y ago
tastes like a puked up beer
Own_Way58371 points1y ago
It’s disgusting
tyxchan1 points1y ago
Literal battery acid
TequilaMagicTrick1 points1y ago
Should be illegal
VirtualEntrepreneur81 points1y ago
If you add raspberry syrup it makes it slightly tolerable but still rancid 🤒
cookiemonstah871 points1y ago
We all tried it one day and not a single person could even pretend it wasn't disgusting. I could see a little bit of lemon juice maaaaaybe being good in coffee, but DEFINITELY NOT LEMONADE
kurokurokii1 points1y ago
There have been three times where my night shift crew and I tried this. We tried it with regular iced coffee, cold brew, and a pour over. We all think it’s absolutely horrendous
-Bubble_Punk-1 points1y ago
Once had a partner come through and swore by cold brew and kiwi…we all tried it and I think you can guess at the reactions.
kqs131 points1y ago
They might have been trolling you lol
thebestdaysofmyflerm1 points1y ago
I’ve never heard of this and don’t see it on the app. Is it regional or something?
silentwhisperer14841 points1y ago
Vomit. Literal vomit. Tried it a while ago when I read it was a popular drink overseas and was horrified. Then saw it actually being marketed and released, made everyone try it and at least 3 people threw up at work. Of course they all claimed their vomit was not as bad as this drink.
chronic_life1 points1y ago
Good for migraines/headaches thats it if not it must be an April fools joke
Aliciarox111891 points1y ago
When is that being released again? Cause entertainment
Sad_Current_13831 points1y ago
It is absolutely trash, just as bad as the Toasted Vanilla syrup, if not worse.
claretamazon2 points1y ago
At least TV can be redeemed mixing it with certain drinks or syrups (Matcha for melted ice cream taste, hazelnut syrup for a sugar cookie taste).
cookiemonstah871 points1y ago
I made a toasted vanilla matcha frapp the other day and it tasted like a milkshake made with green tea ice cream. I enjoyed it
