Starbucks’ official simmer menu is available across the U.S. This season’s lineup features vibrant tropical refreshers, horchata-inspired espresso and b;ended drinks, and customizables like new mango cold foams and energy refreshers. 

New Summer Refreshers:

Tropical Butterfly Refresher: Features passionfruit and guava flavors shaken with ice. Popping mango-pineapple pearls, and a vibrant butterfly pea flower infusion.

Tropical Butterfly Lemonade: Adds lemonade for a tangy twist.

Butterfly Drink: blends the same tropical flavors and mango-pineapple pearls with creamy coconut milk.

Past Summer Refreshers:

Summer-Berry Refresher: The base blend of berries and water mixed with the raspberry pearls.

Summer-Berry Lemonade: The berry blend mixed with lemonade and the raspberry pearls.

Summer Skies Drink: The berry blend combined with creamy coconut milk and the raspberry pearls.

There have been lots of debates on social media about these new refreshers replacing the old ones. Many people are extremely upset about the replacement of the drinks because they do not like the new ones and believe that Starbucks should not have taken the old ones off their menu but just add the new drinks as an addition to their menu.

A sophomore at BHS, Peyton Michelena, shared, ‘’I loved the Summer Berry Lemonade Refresher. It was so amazing. I am so upset it is gone!!’’

Delilah Lasen, sophomore at BHS, stated,’’I like the new Starbucks drink, it’s good. In my opinion a lot of people who drink Starbucks are picky eaters, and picky eaters will not like the drink because there are many different flavors in it.’’

I interviewed 100 BHS students and asked what their favorite summer refresher from Starbucks’.

As you can see from my chart, the Summer Berry Lemonade Refresher is BHS”s favorite. BRING THE SUMMER BERRY BACK!!
