Starbucks has come out with a brand new drink! The Blackberry Sage Refresher was added to the menu, pleasing many who tried this fruity beverage. Including notes of blackberry, herbs, and an overall sweetness, this drink is great to try if you’re searching for a new sip!

The most commonly focused upon trait of this drink is the genuine taste of it. As people try new drinks they look for new tastes that entice them to keep sipping. The addition of an herb, sage, is an interesting take on the average refresher. Pairing this with the sweetness of a blackberry, however, seemed to be taken well.

“I enjoyed the taste of [the refresher],” Senior Ava Adams said. “It tasted good.”

The other part to this new drink is the inclusions. In all of Starbucks’ refreshers they include a scoop of the dried fruit of the flavor of refresher. For this beverage, the inclusion was dried blackberries.

“I didn’t really like the inclusions in it. The texture made it taste a little weird,” Adams continued.

This drink also comes in different varieties, as well. Like all of the refreshers they offer, the drink can be mixed with water, lemonade or coconut milk. If you are searching for the option that will allow you to taste the flavors most directly and maybe even dilute the sweetness, then the water option is the one for you! If you’re looking for some extra tang and some added sweetness you should opt for the lemonade. Finally, for a creamier choice, give the coconut milk a try!

Starbucks continues to implement new drinks to their menu, getting more innovative seemingly by the day. The new refresher goes to show that the successful company is not just taking their earnings for granted, rather they are continuing to work to broaden the company. 

Next time you’re swinging by Starbucks, try switching up from your go to and give this now tummy-rumbling refresher a try!
