Tell me you don’t read the weekly update without telling me.
mollythewiz 46 points 11m ago
doesn’t change the fact that it’s atrocious

Came here to say this
dontlook4tme 83 points 11m ago
its a featured drink on the app rn along w pink drinks w vsccf lol

i’ve tried it, out of morbid curiosity. by far the nastiest thing i’ve ever tasted. it’s what i imagine cat piss would taste like
FrozenZenBerryYT 11 points 11m ago
To me it tastes like when you make fish with lemon juice but accidentally burn it. The black crust on the bottom is what cold brew lemonade tastes like
Audreyy117 8 points 11m ago
My friend and I tried it when we first read about it in the weekly update. I think we decided it was like burnt soy sauce

The standard amount of lemonade to add for anyone curious is the middle line to the top line (same amount as you would add for milk) per the cold brew recipe card
CarneAsausedude 7 points 11m ago
Wait that’s the proper measurement 😦
Vilali 6 points 11m ago
Thank you!

There are actually other small cafes who sells coffee with lemonade or like lime juice or something. I tried the lemon iced Americano. It wasnt my favourite but they said it’s a popular menu
yvesnings 20 points 11m ago
this isn’t even bad. It’s actually my favorite drink and I always shake mine. Lemonade and coffee have always been a thing. It’s popular in North African countries.
audsoneal 14 points 11m ago
it’s lowkey gas
demigirlhailee 3 points 11m ago
thank you. it pisses me off when people complain about this because it's such a cultural taste, and it's not even hard to make like caramel crunch or cold foam acai
djk1101 7 points 11m ago
I mean to be fair it just doesn’t sound appealing depending on your sensibilities and where and how you grew up. Different things sound unappealing to other people.
yvesnings 5 points 11m ago
A lot of coffees have lemon or citrus notes in them, so those flavors are not so far-fetched.
gabsh1515 2 points 11m ago
fair but some people are legit rude 🥺 this is a very popular drink in east asian coffee shops
djk1101 1 points 11m ago
Oh in that case I totally see it. The outright rudeness is definitely uncalled for
SSDGM-cool-cat [OP] 11 points 11m ago
Oh man that’s what I get for taking an LOA the past month or so.
AcceptableJump7088 11 points 11m ago
I think it’s a new menu item🫠 my sm made the crew try it this morning cause of Howard 🫡
Losimcg 2 points 11m ago
How was it
imathrowayslc 8 points 11m ago
I made a tall of it when I heard of it. I didn’t throw it out, but I wouldn’t have been able to drink more than a tall, and I doubt I would ever drink it again. It’s not the worst, but there are many better options.
AcceptableJump7088 4 points 11m ago
It’s was okay… tasted like watered down cold brew, but it had a semi lemonade-tartness aftertaste. The other partners didn’t like it but it wasn’t bad if you drink our cold brew. Just wouldn’t get it over other drinks.
lakoooter 9 points 11m ago
look. it’s not great, but it’s not bad. it’s 𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛
tittywhipp 5 points 11m ago
My dude this is a popular combination in the coffee world. When I worked at a barista in Mexico at a coffee shop in playa. They had an espresso lemonade drink. And like idk man, its rough time to be a human right now. If a little lemonade in your cold brew helps you through the day I think that's pretty rad
alo-san 4 points 11m ago
Here me out, it’s actually really good when balanced out well 🤭
Coffeeandcrystalz 4 points 11m ago
it tastes like bile🤢
Zadaki 3 points 11m ago
This is a good drink when you don’t go to Starbucks, considering our lemonade itself is so foul. Other shops have nailed this.
turpentinetears 3 points 11m ago
Okay so I know citrus+coffee is a thing, (although I think it tastes awful), but I had someone get this the other day with mocha drizzle and that’s where I draw the line lmao
usichu 3 points 11m ago
i’ve tried it and was not a fan but then me and and some other baristas tried cold brew with the evolution orange juice and it was actually good ngl
Wonderful-Put-5972 3 points 11m ago
Last time ibwasbin Italy the hotel always served a twist of lemon rind with a doppio. I wonder if they're trying to recreate that flavor?
Blobby_Blah 2 points 11m ago
I’ve tried it with half lemonade and half cold brew. It’s very good. The ratio has to be right and the cold brew has to be made from good (aka not Starbucks) coffee & lemonade. I tried it as a partner and it was trash. I tried it at a local shop and it was really good. So, I guess it’s just a matter of taste. 🤷‍♀️
IcyStuff2459 2 points 11m ago
i love cold brew lemonade but my gut and acid reflux don’t lmaoo
captaineggbagels 2 points 11m ago
Imma be honest, I tried making this last year w/sweetener and it wasn’t that bad lol
SSDGM-cool-cat [OP] 2 points 11m ago
But still…WHAT.
whittyd63 1 points 11m ago
Unrelated— I love your username 🥰
Otherwise-Sherbet867 1 points 11m ago
Bro no it straight up tastes like garbage water it’s disgusting 🤢🤢🤢
Floweringjung 1 points 11m ago
Just had that today I wanna cry
Aliciarox11189 1 points 11m ago
It's advertised on the app now
Buttafly_360 1 points 11m ago
I'm guessing we fill the lemonade to the part we usually do with milk in a cold brew: second to the top the line and then ice the rest of the way?
Ok-Mathematician2426 1 points 11m ago
Everyday we stray further from God
covenhunter 1 points 11m ago
taking acidity to a next level
Gameb0i6 1 points 11m ago
Also Starbucks lemonade is trash. It’s basically water with a splash of lemonade.
Gameb0i6 1 points 11m ago
That’s an actual menu item. One of my coworkers gets it.
Glittering-Ant-5193 1 points 11m ago
I’ve had an iced americano with lemonade and this small coffee spot and it was really refreshing! Not sure how this compares tho
SKSM10 1 points 11m ago
Be prepared, in the weekly update I read something about some more crazy ass drinks that customers will be able to order or something like that in the coming days or weeks
ObjectiveError3253 1 points 11m ago
honestly, it’s not too bad.
Clairey_beari 1 points 11m ago
I got a trenta lemonade with a double today and I just had to stop and rethink everything for a minute
majik_rose 1 points 11m ago
Omg someone ordered this at my store today 🫠
Starryeyedgirl09 1 points 11m ago
They want ALL the heart burn 😖
ItsAWildFelix 1 points 11m ago
It’s super normal at this resort in idaho I worked at…

You know what, anything that doesn't have vanilla sweet cold foam is already a step up in my book
FoundationOk2479 1 points 11m ago
Customers with no Doubt, and no Benefits; Truly are Interesting Creatures
3aTroop 1 points 11m ago
Because the app tells them to.
vg_1495 1 points 11m ago
Someone ordered that today and I was scratching my head a little, l don’t see how that can taste good
Apprehensive_Flow219 1 points 11m ago
bc the app told them to and they’ll do anything starbucks suggests
Makorra45 1 points 11m ago
Is this an actual drink now? I heard my shift talking about the drink
puttybutty 1 points 11m ago
It's based off of a drink called Mazagran.

Guys, do cold brew to the first line, lemonade to the third, and then do half pumps of classic per standard. I thinks it's delicious.
itsdrewms 1 points 11m ago
it tasted like dirt
itsdrewms 1 points 11m ago
Gonna try this on my next shift
Affectionate_Fart 1 points 11m ago
Because it’s advertised on the app and they’ll believe anything if they see it
