What’s your favorite non-caffeine drink here? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
So I’ve worked at Starbucks for a year and I’ve only ever drank pink drinks and strawberry acai because I hate coffee. But I will be having surgery in a few months and I really want to cut down on my caffeine intake before I have surgery.

So what are your favorite non-caffeinated OR low-caffeine drinks? Hot or cold.

I'm a coffee person but eventually just went with Ice and water. Freshest water I've ever tasted.

Our water is probably the freshest water I’ve ever had

all of the refreshers do have caffeine so be careful with those!!

i always love passion tango teas (caffeine free) with lemonade! i’ll add raspberry for a little extra punch!

Yes, that is what I’m trying to cut down on because I drink way too many refreshers 😅 I’ll have to try that tomorrow!

love me a good peach tranquility every now and then- I usually have mine plain, but customers order them as custom tea lattes w/ vanilla as well! always smells amazing~

also peach but cold; sometimes I order a pink drink, no acaí, sub peach juice 👀 tastes just like a Hi-chew candy!!

you could also experiment w/ apple juice and lemonade for more no-caffeine options!

and as for /low/ caffeine; my favorite to recommend will forever be a black iced tea, no water, sub your choice of milk/cream, w/ brown sugar syrup! it's like a mock bobba tea- v warm and refreshing flavor!

long comment over; good luck and have a speedy recovery on your surgery!! may you find good go-to drinks that work w/ taking care of yourself for such an event!! 0/

Brewed peach tranquility w/ 1 bag peach 1 bag chai, cinnamon, steamed passion tango + lemonade and honey to taste

Apple chai (tastes like apple cider) just apple juice with appropriate amount of chai for size, hot or iced

I do a passion tea with light lemonade, extra peach, and vanilla. My best friend says it tastes like a pie filling and calls it pie juice.

I haven’t had a single person I’ve recommended it to NOT start making it regularly.

My store came up with a lemon meringue drink that's so good. lemonade to the first line, sweet cream to the second, ice, and blend. you can also add raspberry or strawberry. so freaking good.

Snicker doodle hot chocolate. Half white hot chocolate, half cinnamon dolce.
And the caramel apple spice is also good.

my go to recently has been passion tea w/ apple juice 🥰

but sometimes i'll also grab a defense up evo drink (i like it more than the pure orange), put it in a frap blender, 2-3 pumps of creme base, and 2-3 pumps of vanilla powder (both amounts depend on how much sweetness i want in the drink), venti scoop of ice & blended - fits in a trenta cup with a little bit if room for me usually, kinda like a dreamsicle 🤤

edit: fixed a typo

I've literally been getting a passion tea lemonade with light ice every day after my shift for the past 15 years.
[deleted] [OP] 1 points 1y ago
I’m definitely trying it tomorrow on my lunch

Passion tea with lemonade is my favorite. Had to cutback caffeine at work too. And I like mint majesty tea with some honey and steamed oatmilk if you’re in the mood for something warm

Once it starts to get warm, my go-to drink was lemonade with a little bit of raspberry in it! I would do 2-3 pumps of raspberry for a Trenta, so I would recommend maybe 1 pump for a tall or a grande.

In the colder months, I love doing an apple juice with 1-2 pumps of chai - though be warned, chai does have a little caffeine. The spiced black tea from the chai and the natural crispness of apple juice mixes to become a very apple cider-y taste. It's awesome as a hot drink or iced!

From what I hear, passion fruit tea also mixes well with apple juice, but I really hated our passion tea unless it was sweetened out the ass lmao
