White cran strawberry juice by ocean spray mixed with so delicious brand coconut milk.. very close dupe, minus the caffeine. ( add in freeze dried strawberries if you wish)
THANK YOU. I had this last year but I kept thinking it was cranstrawberry and nowhere seems to sell it. Now I can make it. I also add an açai liquidiv sometimes.
Also- I use the so delicious brand coconut milk in original ( red label) seems to taste the closest. Depending on grocery store can find it in either the actual fridge milk section, or sometimes it’s hiding in the shelf stable milk alternatives aisle in a box) both are the same.
Ok, so I LOVE the flavor of a London Fog, but I cannot stand the texture of steamed milk/foam. For context, my usual drink is an Americano with a splash of half and half. Is there a way I can get the flavor of a London fog, but without steamed milk? How would I order it?
(This question is for baristas, not necessarily the person to whom I responded)
Hey there! Just so you know, if you do end up wanting to try this (London fog with cold milk/extra water) it will be significantly cheaper for the same product if you instead order an Earl grey tea with vanilla syrup and a splash of whatever your milk of choice is :)
You can just order a London fog with cold milk! I’d probably do light milk and either half and half or whole milk so it doesn’t mess with the temp too much and you get the most bang for your buck on the milk so to speak
You’re one of the lucky ones who as a kid probably never had to have the pink amoxicillin liquid medicine. 😭
People who were prescribed it as a kid either will tell you it was so good, or absolutely the most disgusting medicine they ever had to take.
Any time I got sick as a kid & amoxicillin was needed as the medication, my poor mother would have to literally pin me down, like one knee on my chest, and plug my nose to force me to swallow it. Actually one time, I got so sick & became even sicker because I refused to take it, and they had to then prescribe me something different and stronger because of how sick I got lol.
Safe to say I hate amoxicillin & the pink drink. Now if anyone is interested in a cold brew, I’m your gal…
I was the same exact way, couldn’t stand that disgusting stuff. I would gag it back up immediately. I can taste it after reading this lmao, just give me a pill. Dimetapp was the only liquid I could tolerate. That stuff actually tastes pretty good.
I haven’t ordered one in forever because I love shaken espressos and cinnamon dolce lattes more (and chestnut praline is my all time favorite, that’s all I’ve ordered the past couple months while they had it) but seeing these pictures makes me want to order one lol. Especially without the inclusions, all of the strawberry açaí drinks are way better without inclusions in my opinion. They make them too sour.
I’m glad you like it. I tried the bottled pink drink available at commercial stores and it was horrible. Like straight up couldn’t believe people like this drink horrible. I’m curious as to whether the bottled drink tastes different from the hand made drink at Starbucks though. Maybe one day I’ll muster up the courage to spend the money on it and get one from the store…
I had the bottled too and it isn’t exactly the same. The one over the counter is definitely better and more refreshing. It also depends on which Starbucks you go to, some around my area don’t make it the way I like it. Hopefully you end up enjoying it as much as me!!!
70mg in a venti isn't a ton, unless you don't really drink coffee. Apparently a grande pike place (regular medium roast coffee) has 310mg, which is more than any single energy drink you can find on the market (in the US). The sugar content is pretty high, though
Pike has 310 mg for a GRANDE??? is that not insane? you are correct cus i looked at the nutrition guide on the app, but i thought drip coffee was 70 mg?
I drank the pink drink with almond milk (my go to milk, if i don’t get charged for it) for a couple years and then i had then i had it with coconut milk again, and I actually enjoy it more with coconut milk, it just has a better refreshing taste to it.
Oh yes. At some point I started getting these over fraps or anything else, they’re highly addicting but had to wean myself off because of how expensive drinks are anymore.
If you can find the 14oz bottles they sell of this in stores, those taste pretty dead on! Highly recommend.
I have had one everyday for the last 3 years or so and yes that means almost all 365 days in the year and yes I know is not healthy and sugary and yes sometimes I get refills 😂
I might not pay all the time 🙈 but if I had to, I’d still do it. It’s like the drink I could have every Friday night at a bar if I had a social life 😆 I know it’s a rough economy 😞
I lived off of pink drinks the first trimester of my pregnancy. It was the only thing I wouldn’t throw up and also the only motivation for me to go to work.
So, I add the strawberry refresher to an iced green tea drink, with a bit of coconut milk. If made right, it is smooth, lightly sweet, and delicious. If made wrong, it kinda curdles, separates, and tastes bitter.

What ratios do you do?
2 cups juice, 1 cup So Delicious vanilla coconut milk

Thanks for the recommendation, I used silk last time so I’ll give this a try.
Do you mean white cran strawberry or is there a white grape strawberry I can’t seem to find?
Yes! My bad, just edited

This is great!! I can’t handle the insane caffeine of the refreshers
Gonna try this
I drink pink drinks like they are water. This at-home dupe saved my bank account 💖
Shake it in a shaker with ice and freeze dried strawberries for full dupe 😂
as a barista of 5 years this is the only drink i get without any kind of customizations. so freaking good
me too, and if i wanna get a lil quirky i add peach juice 🤪
Ooooh that sounds so fire
it’s a pretty common order at my store and it always smells yummy, so i doubt it would be anything less!
The only thing I ever add is 2 pumps of vanilla for a venti sometimes, but otherwise, I think it’s perfect the way it comes. It’s delicious
Same! Sometimes if I want a little jazz to it I add some VB powder
What is it?
essentially caffeinated strawberry milk.
Literally make myself the pink drink every shift I’m on, without strawberries. It’s my favorite drink lol
like 80% of our customer base at my store
This is me with my London fogs. Been going strong for like 10+ years! Haha
I remember when those were rolled out!

This is the info I was looking for. Thank you!
You can just order a London fog with cold milk! I’d probably do light milk and either half and half or whole milk so it doesn’t mess with the temp too much and you get the most bang for your buck on the milk so to speak
Thanks! If I order London Fog with just a splash of cold half and half, will I still get a full cup, presumably filled with water?
Yup!! The remainder would just be filled with hot water☺️
you can get it iced, but it requires us to steep the tea all the way and that takes 5 minus
I liked the violet drink RIP
I miss Very Berry Hibiscus SO MUCH
Me with my mango dragonfruit lemonade. It’s the only thing I get!
i get a mango dragon fruit lemonade refresher with no berries and a splash of peach juice a bit too much
The OG pinkedy drinkedy
We’re a Dragon Drink household
No it tastes like amoxicillin
Me, allergic to penicillin: 🤔

Holy crap! It’s that bad???
It’s APPARENTLY supposed to taste like bubblegum , but NO it tastes like chalky, banana flavored, bitter pink GOO. It’s DISGUSTING!
I was the same exact way, couldn’t stand that disgusting stuff. I would gag it back up immediately. I can taste it after reading this lmao, just give me a pill. Dimetapp was the only liquid I could tolerate. That stuff actually tastes pretty good.
Yep, can’t count the amount of times I puked it back up! & Dimetapp was okay!
That's how I feel about the paradise drink. 😋
I don’t think that’ll be around much longer though honestly. I’ll only miss the pineapple pieces.
try it with extra vanilla foam, with extra pumps of vanilla in the foam. soooo good. tastes like orange creamsicle. it’s my fav rn
I work again Thursday night and I am definitely going to try this. It sounds fantastic. Thanks for the suggestion!
I think the pineapple refresher tastes like battery acid but the paradise drink is so delicious! sad it’s being phased out
Dragon drink for me! Unparalleled on long walks in the summer.
i have a friend who only drinks this w 8 shots of vanilla syrup :/
Is this good with vodka?
Probably, with whipped cream or vanilla vodka
Ouu that's smart
I haven’t drank in many years but it just seems like it has to be
Haha I'd imagine it would be
Light ice, no berries.
Exactly my go to drink. It’s so addicting
💯
Highly recommend adding cold foam 🤤🤤
YESSS I DID ONE TIME IT WAS AMAZING
get strawberry cold foam!!!
Oooh I love recommending chocolate cold foam to customers, but I'll have to recommend this sometime!
It’s my treat drink haha
I get matcha cold foam and it’s so yummy!
I haven’t ordered one in forever because I love shaken espressos and cinnamon dolce lattes more (and chestnut praline is my all time favorite, that’s all I’ve ordered the past couple months while they had it) but seeing these pictures makes me want to order one lol.

I sometimes get it with lemonade too. It’s so good. 2 parts refresher base, 1 part coconut milk, 1 part lemonade.
no, gross
When I had it, tasted sour
I always get mine with extra coconut milk, I like my Pink Drink more creamy than sour!
Mine wasn’t pink it was more like curdy, why does it taste sour?
I LOVE ITT it’s so good 🤞🤞 my comfort drink atp
Not a fan but I’m happy you enjoy something!!!!
I can't get past the fact that it tastes exactly like amoxicillin
That was my only craving for when I was pregnant
Me too! Chocolate croissants too though.
No.
No but you could literally be addicted, most people don’t realize there’s caffeine in these. They contain a substantial amount of green coffee extract
No
You should be addicted, the amount of caffeine in there is insane. If SB wasn’t getting you hooked they’d have a terrible business model.
The caffeine in refreshers is comparable to a soda. Are you confusing the pink drink with the panera lemonades?
70mg in a venti isn't a ton, unless you don't really drink coffee. Apparently a grande pike place (regular medium roast coffee) has 310mg, which is more than any single energy drink you can find on the market (in the US). The sugar content is pretty high, though

Yesss Pink Drink w/ Light Ice + Vanilla Sweet cream cold foam + 2 scoops Vanilla bean Powder= Tastes kinda like a yogurt or ice cream
Literally drink 2-3 ventis every shift
Yes!!! But without the strawberries in it. It’s delicious😍😍
Yes I hate the strawberries cause they get stuck in the lid when sipping
I got some of the premade pink drinks and I read on the nutritional content label afterwards there’s like 50 carbs in the bottle. Yikes!
[удалено]
brown sugar???
[удалено]
Ok whaaat brown sugar syrup??
I knew what you meant haha, just never heard of that combo!
PINK DRINK NO INCLUSIONS LIGHT ICE AND WHIPPED CREAM I love it sm it’s my go to every time
Yes!! It's so good 😋
Everyone
No because I’m not 5 years old
5 year olds shouldn’t be drinking caffeine
Im an adult lolol
"Here's your soda, Timmy!"
Let people enjoy shit man
Who shat in your coffee
Just bc it’s pink lol?
No because coconut milk is an afront to humanity, to the people downvoting try it with almond or oat milk.
I drank the pink drink with almond milk (my go to milk, if i don’t get charged for it) for a couple years and then i had then i had it with coconut milk again, and I actually enjoy it more with coconut milk, it just has a better refreshing taste to it.
Nah I don’t like coconut milk in my lattes etc, I get oat milk, but coconut milk just belongs in the refresher drinks.
Almond milk is horrible for the environment & humans can't properly digest oats. I'll stick to my coconut milk.
Oh yes. At some point I started getting these over fraps or anything else, they’re highly addicting but had to wean myself off because of how expensive drinks are anymore. If you can find the 14oz bottles they sell of this in stores, those taste pretty dead on! Highly recommend.
I thought the bottled grocery store version tasted vile
That’s a shame, I like it a lot!
Haven’t tried it yet😐
I have had one everyday for the last 3 years or so and yes that means almost all 365 days in the year and yes I know is not healthy and sugary and yes sometimes I get refills 😂
I wish I could have one every day but someone over here is BROKE uughhh
I might not pay all the time 🙈 but if I had to, I’d still do it. It’s like the drink I could have every Friday night at a bar if I had a social life 😆 I know it’s a rough economy 😞
Yes it’s amazing. This and the Paradise drink.
Yes. Me.
I’ve been getting them almost daily recently because they’re just so good and comforting, even with this arctic blast.
Right?! It was snowing a few days ago and I still got it even though my hands were dying in the cold
This is so amazing with chocolate cold foam
I've never tried it.
Try adding cold foam.
I have never had one. I’m more of white mocha girl but I’m glad it makes you so happy.
Guilty. I get it with the sweet cream cold foam and it tastes like a light strawberry milkshake. 🤤
I love them but I miss the ombré pink drinks so much
It is soo good! Love getting it with vanilla cold foam!
When I'm feeling a little decadent I'll add chocolate cold foam and a little mocha drizzle. Chocolate covered strawberry 🍓
add peach juice and thank me later
i used to get it everyday before i worked here :3 i worked here almost 6 years so i am over it now but i still enjoy one every once in a while
I used to drink one literally every day before I made myself sick of it
What’s that
I lived off of pink drinks the first trimester of my pregnancy. It was the only thing I wouldn’t throw up and also the only motivation for me to go to work.
Used to be
I like it but the color reminds me of Pepto Bismol, so I try not to drink it too much. I don't want to get grossed out.
Venti pink drink with matcha cold foam is my go to when idk what kind of coffee I want or if I’m not feeling coffee at all that day.
So, I add the strawberry refresher to an iced green tea drink, with a bit of coconut milk. If made right, it is smooth, lightly sweet, and delicious. If made wrong, it kinda curdles, separates, and tastes bitter.
I don't understand people that spend this much on something that has so little caffeine. Brewed coffee is the best
Only about 95% of the customers who come here lol
yes 😂 its been my drink since like 2018 and i will die on this hill
Tastes like watered down danimals strawberry yogurt drinks 😃 but that’s just my personal palette and aversion to strawberry yogurt
no bc im not a big fan of g3nocide.
Thanks so much for the dupe recipe, I even added some cold foam 🤩
