Starbucks, Refreshers with Coconut Water, 3 Flavor Variety Pack, 12 fl Oz. Cans (12 Pack)

Problem: I wanted a quick, grab-and-go drink for my mornings, but I don't fancy coffee, and most energy drinks taste too artificial to me, or have that weird stevia aftertaste. Enter, Starbucks Refreshers. Light and fruity, slightly carbonated for funsies, and not a boatload of sugar or caffeine. I like all the flavours in the variety pack. They are, as named, very "refreshing", ha. They are just a bit pricey I think but it's not too bad, and considering the alternatives I still think they're a great deal. They seem to be becoming more and more difficult to procure lately and that has me worried. There's simply no replacement. Everything, everything else is either way too much sugar/high fructose corn syrup or is stevia and tastes gross to me. So let's talk about the stevia. I'm pretty sensitive to this ingredient because I hate it LOL. So much so that I'd rather have straight unsweetened products than anything with stevia in it most of the time (read: all of the time). These do use mostly actual sugar and don't have that typical "stevia extract" ingredient, and so I don't taste stevia in them. Big win. However, they do still have rebaudioside-a in them, which is from the stevia plant leaf, BUT somehow it's nigh undetectable as long as the drinks are about room temperature or colder. And I'm talking "undetectable" as in I seriously don't notice it, not that I notice it a lil bit and can ignore it like I do with other drinks that have this ingredient. I only qualify with "nigh" because if I really try I can taste that familiar aftertaste, just a bit, but even then it's negligible. So this gets a solid pass from me, and I've been enjoying these things for years. Every now and then I try a new drink of similar niche...but I always end up coming back to Starbucks Refreshers. For years and years now. Real sugar, real fruit juice, low calorie, and refreshing as promised...There's just no beating them. I hope to enjoy them for many more years to come.

These were pretty good flavors. Nice for summer. A little expensive but ok for a treat.

As I said, the cherry flavor is so bad that it tastes like herbal medicine. IDK how Starbucks has managed to do that but STAY AWAY from this flavor. Peach and strawberry are very refreshing tho

Just like going to Starbucks

Great price for this brand and has a good taste.
