As the days get longer and warmer, nothing beats having a refreshing drink for your summer adventures. Starbucks, with its rich tradition in coffee, has rolled out its anticipated summer drink and treats menu, promising to add flavor and excitement to our summer moments.
"We started out thinking about summer moments like hanging out by the pool and having a barbecue with friends," said Simon Vuong, beverage developer for Starbucks. "We have never had a blue beverage, but when we first created the recipe, the color really captured the feeling we were going for – reminiscent of long, summer days and bright skies for everyone to enjoy."

The new Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers features a "sweet and summery blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and poured over a layer of new popping raspberry flavored pearls," says Starbucks.
