Refreshers, 3 Flavor Variety Pack (Peach,Cherry, Stw Lmd), 12 Ounce Sleek Cans (Pack of 12)

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.

The sugar content is enough, it helps you to stay hydrated. The taste of these drinks is great. The ingredients are high quality. It has a low calorie count. If you're allergic to coconut water then I would not recommend these drinks.

Flavors sounded great, but didn’t live the way they tasted

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

The only best energy drink in the world!!👊🏼🤪😜

Been buying these for a long time. Will be moving on to something else unfortunately due to the wild price increase. Not worth 2.50 each! Too bad

I love this. It's wonderful. Great taste, very refreshing.

I buy these refreshers 1x a month if not more for over a year+. I am obsessed with them. HOWEVER, I received my package a few weeks ago and there was something VERY wrong with the liquid. I thought it was a very "sulfur" type taste. Considered that it was possibly something on the outside of can so I made sure to rinse the next one off. Nope. My husband said it's something wrong with the syrup. That maybe it went bad. I didn't taste it as much in the Peach and had an AWFUL stomach ache that night. Like stomach pains GALORE. I ordered a refund and they sent me a replacement. Sadly, this whole 2nd batch was the exact same. 100% undrinkable. Now they won't event let me return it or get a refund. I hope it's just the batch, but hope they fix it cause i did always enjoy these. I will wait a few months until product runs through before ordering again!
