Starbucks has a NEW summer drink on the menu for a limited time, and it seriously took us back to one of our favorite childhood memories.
Starbucks at Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom
Come with us to try out the NEW Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher and find out why this is going to be our go-to drink for as long as it’s available.
Starbucks announced the new Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers, so we immediately went to Main Street Bakery (the Starbucks location in Magic Kingdom) to pick one up!
Summer Berry Refresher
The drink has a mix of berry flavors, and it has raspberry-flavored pearls added in as well. You can get one with a base of water, lemonade, or coconut milk. We grabbed a grande water-based drink, and it was $6.99.
Yum!
We LOVED this drink. It’s exactly what it claims to be: refreshing! We really enjoyed it with the water base and thought it might not be quite as good with the lemonade base, as that would add more tartness and sweetness when the berry syrup and pearls are already bringing plenty of those flavors. However, if you’re looking for a really flavor-blasted drink, you might love the lemonade version!

When we first took a sip, we knew it reminded us of something nostalgic, but it took a couple more sips for it to sink in. This tastes very similar to Berry Kool-Aid! And we mean that as the highest compliment possible. It’s a grown-up version (not quite as sickly sweet), and we felt like we were kids again, sipping Kool-Aid in front of Cinderella Castle.
Our reporter said, “It is giving ‘My budget has grown up, but my soul has not.’” 
New refresher
UPDATE: Another DFB team member tried out this drink and said it reminded her of the blue Jolly Rancher, so that means it’s doing double duty with the nostalgia.
We can’t wait to try it with coconut milk, too! It seems like the creaminess will upgrade the flavor even more.
Make sure to head to Starbucks to grab this new refresher soon! Their announcement said that these drinks will only be available for a limited time, but they didn’t specify how long exactly they’ll be on the menu. If you’re in Disney World, you can pick one up at any of the Starbucks locations at the resort:
- Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom
- Creature Comforts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
- Trolley Car Café at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Connections Café at EPCOT
- Starbucks at Disney Springs West Side
- Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace
