Is Starbucks pink drink healthy?
Starbucks pink drink is a far healthier option to make compared to some of the other high sugar content drinks they sell. Made with coconut milk which comes sweetened or unsweetened you can decide what you like, but overall making the pink drink from Starbucks is a healthier option that won’t disappoint.
Does Starbucks pink drink have caffeine?
The pink drink is lightly caffeinated. The caffeine comes from the green coffee extract in the very berry hibiscus instant tea refresher which for a 16oz is about 45mg of caffeine.
If you want to tweak your Starbucks pink dink recipe and add a little bit more sweetness to it, try adding agave or honey for the perfect subtle touch.
So bring on the pretty pink drink and enjoy every creamy sip of this refreshing iced beverage made right at home and every bit as delicious.

Pam says
Nope definitely not the pink drink. Tastes just like the violet drink because it’s basically what it is if you add blackberries instead of strawberries. Back to Starbucks for the real thing!! Disappointed.
Sam says
Definitely not the same as the pink drink. But it tastes alright! Very watered down though.
Brooke says
Does not taste anything like the pink drink, and turns out purple.
Becca says
I fail at the pink drink it comes out as a purple drink taste great but I add a little refreshers and still purple how do u make the pink drink.
Caroline Callahan says
Does not taste like the pink drink, to make the pink drink at home mix one part strawberry acia refresher from ebay and one part coconut milk. (took me a year to figure out how to actually make the pink drink from home lol)
Elizabeth Garrott says
Thank you!
Caitlyn Scheurich says
taste amazing love it
Taqwanna Clark says
Does NOT taste like the Pink drink at All..In fact it came out the color Purple. It’s not a bad drink, it’s OK. Pink Drink is better. I have seen some people use White Cranberry Grape by Ocean Spray instead and said it’s pretty dead on. I will try that next.
Karlie says
Followed the recipe exactly with the same ingredients and there was no strawberry flavor and just tasted like water.
Steph K says
A PERFECTLY REFRESHING ICED BEVERAGE
Cadence Smith says
The pink drink is unbelievably good!!
It is really delicious 🤤!
Kaleb says
This drink is delicious!
Misty says
Nice try. The only thing similar to the real Pink Drink is the color. Strawberries do nothing for flavor. We will try sweetening them with sugar and allowing to sit before adding to the drink to see if that helps, but overall the concentrate leaves a taste of tea that isn’t in the original and Very Berry Refresher takes the flavor profile away from the strawberries to more of a mixed berry result. Not a horrible drink. Just definitely not the pink drink.
Erika says
I love that I Can make this at home now! This is how I start every day! Thanks for the great post!
Erin says
This is a good drink but tastes nothing like the pink drink, I think the Tazo tea gives it an off flavor
Jenny says
I used silk coconut milk- drink tastes nothing like Starbucks pink drink. It’s good but doesn’t have that berry kick. Tastes like passion tea/coconut milk
Hannah says
This drink is delicious! Although it is not really the pink drink, the pink drink is actually just Starbucks strawberry refresher (which I sadly could not find for sale) mixed with coconut milk with some freeze dried strawberries, thought fresh are even better.
Lorrin says
You can buy the starbucks strawberry acai on ebay
CJ says
You can find it now on eBay and Amazon 🙂
Cory says
Just made this although this drink is good. Its actually the violet drink on their menu not the pink drink. I think the pink drink tastes better in my opinion
Chelsea says
That’s what I was thinking!! Do you know what goes into the pink drink?
Carol says
It’s a strawberry acai concentrate that you can’t buy😔
Lorrin says
You can actually buy the strawberry acai refresher on ebay..
Isabella says
Hi Carol. So to make this pink drink, I should get strawberry acai refresher and what else besides coconut milk?
Rachel says
I completely agree. I just made it too and it’s not pink drink. Pink drink is made with açaí not passion.
Emma says
Super watered down. Not impressed.
RJ says
That’s what I thought. It was icky…
