What’s in a Starbucks Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher?
Pineapple Pineapple Refreshers do not include fresh fruit. However, they are packed with fruity flavor! The base stars with white grape juice concentrate. Citrus acid is added for natural flavoring. Because I need a daily caffeine fix, I love Starbucks green coffee extract. Lemonade is another tasty add-in. Freeze dried pineapple tops off this delicious Starbucks drink.
Are the Starbucks Pineapple Passionfruit Refreshers Permanent?
Yes! Because they were a hit during their summer launch in 2022, they remain on the Starbucks menu. They taste amazing on a hot summer day. However, they also chase away the winter blues!
Does the Starbucks Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher Contain Caffeine?
There is caffeine in a Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher. Because the base contains green coffee extract, this is a caffeinated drink. The amount of caffeine in a Starbucks Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher recipe is 45 mg in the grande size.
Can I customize a refresher?
Yes! You can customize a Starbucks Refresher recipe. Did you know Starbucks has a “secret menu?” Fruity drink lovers will appreciate a “Firecracker Refresher.” Order a Mango Lemonade Refresher (omitting the dragonfruit). Ask the barista to add Passion Tango Tea and a pump of raspberry syrup.
What is Unique About this DIY Starbucks Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher recipe?
Because Starbucks refreshers do not contain fresh juice, I added pineapple and passionfruit juice. I made my own pineapple juice by blending pineapple rings with water in a blender. I purchased bottled passionfruit juice at the grocery store. If you cannot find this type of juice, mango flavored juice tastes amazing in this refresher recipe. To make this drink caffeinated, I added lemon green tea. This variety of tea has a delicious citrus flavor and a beautiful bright yellow color.
