I spy, with my little eye…cool lime refresher?! (i.redd.it)
submitted by ContingenciesMatter
Well, to be exact, cool lime refresha. Has anyone else in the United Arab Emirates tried it? Does it live up to the original CLR? My old 143-XXXX heart jumped a beat when I saw this. I hung up the green apron in 2017, but I still dream of iced passion tea made with cool lime base!

What language is that? It's very pretty

Arabic, one of the prettiest written languages

I remember when this drink was in the US like nearly a decade ago, it was my *favorite*. Almost like a juicy mojito.

(Sorry for my bad Arabic! I’m from the USA and only started learning Arabic when I moved to the UAE.)

I'm not even involved, but rarely do I have a chance to verify if Google Lens got it right.
>May I ask you from where? Frankly, I was very happy when I saw Starbucks and spoke in Arabic. I work in a Starbucks in America, but when I go to Egypt, there is no Starbucks in the city where I live, and I can see speaking in Arabic like this, it was really nice

They had it in Ireland when I moved out too (June this year). I never had the original so I can't compare them but I was very underwhelmed based on how people describe it here.

So I should manage my expectations. Lol. Thank you for helping me prepare!

I hope it's as good as you remember! It might just not be my thing.

This is fascinating hearing people check in from around the world!

This isn’t available in North America. Only available in Europe and certain regions of Asia. This is West Asia since it’s written in Arabic, I assume UAE?

Yep! Abu Dhabi. I went to my usual Starbucks this morning but went inside and was so surprised and excited by this sign (usually I drive thru, but I’ve never seen any indications of cool lime on the drive thru menu). Do you know if it is a time-limited offering or a permanent fixture now?
yvesnings 3 points 10m ago
I believe permanent! I’ve had this drink before in Jordan. Unfortunately, it was discontinued here in North America a few years ago. Get it while you can. It’s super delicious!

Yay! Best news ever! My favorite thing to make as a partner bev back in the day was an iced passion tea with a cool lime base. Thanks for the info!
