Calling all pink lovers! There’s a new Starbucks beverage in town, and it’s guaranteed to match perfectly with any item from your Elle Woods-inspired wardrobe.
Welcome the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher, your ideal drink for those beach days when you want a quick, post-swim pick-me-up or when you just need to cool off during the scorching hot summer months.
The best news? Unlike other colorful limited-edition Starbucks menu items (we’re looking at you, Unicorn Frappuccino), this bright pink drink is here to stay. As of Tuesday, June 19, the coffee giant is offering this refresher as a permanent part of its menu. That means Starbucks enthusiasts will be able to enjoy this drink anytime at locations throughout the United States and Canada.
You can feel good about sipping this magenta-colored drink, too, as it has no artificial coloring or sweeteners. It’s also only 90 calories for a grande (16-ounce) serving. The highly-Instagrammable beverage uses “sweet tropical flavors” derived from mango and dragonfruit.
And in order to achieve its unique bright pink hue, baristas prepare the drink with hand-shaken pieces of red-fleshed dragonfruit. This is great news for the health-obsessed since dragonfruit is rich in vitamins and offers great immunity-boosting and antioxidant effects.
America’s favorite coffee house announced in June that it will be increasing the cost of a regular cup of coffee by 10 to 20 cents, so now is a good time to opt for specialty beverages like this new pink drink. For a creamier version of Starbucks’ newest refresher, try asking your local barista to add a little coconut milk to the mix. You won’t be disappointed.
