the one dislike is starbucks saying “i thought we fired her why is she still exposing us”

[analirubio]

Knowing that the employees snack on the fruit makes so much sense when I ask for refreshers and they say they ran out of the fruit for it 😂

[sarahfitch]

ALSO YOU GOT OUT YOUR INGEDIENTS BEFORE YOU STARTED FILMING! growth. we love to see it

[sarahkerr]

As a current Starbucks barista lemme just say, two seconds in, I could tell just by the giant bottle of white grape juice in the background that this is gonna be a pretty accurate recipe so

Honestly, I’ve saved like $300 by making my pink drink at home 🤣

[patriciarodas]

I wish starbucks would just release powdered refreshers in stores in all flavors.... because i love the caffeine in them and it would be so much easier 😭 but thank you for this!!

guys SHE GOT FIRED FROM STARBUCKS TO MAKE THESE VIDEOS DO NOT LET THIS

The wooden tool you used is for a chinois strainer (often used in French cuisines) btw

I love you ! For the strawberry açaí I just use the Oceanspray white cran strawberry, the ingredients compared to the Starbucks strawberry açaí one are basically the same and it taste the same. I just pour it over ice with some strawberries (fresh/or freeze dry). You can add coconut milk or lemonade to it and it taste just like the real deal !!(: plus super I get mine at H-E-B or Walmart

literally haven't visited a starbucks in months because of her. love everything you doooo omg

[angelsreign]

As a barista my favorite pronunciation of açaí so far has been “asheey”

[normajeanstapleton]

Berry Hibiscus is my very favorite, my son works for Starbucks and right before they discontinued the boxes of instant mix, we drove to every Starbucks in the DFW area. I had like 12 and it lasted me a year. Now I can make them myself. Thank you abbe

Very berry hibiscus has been my favorite drink for 5 years 😭 i’ve always loved it and recently started adding raspberry syrup to it for a little extra sweetness
I drink it AT LEAST 3x a week

[nanirodriguez]

I was like why does she look tan LOLLL it looks good it makes your eyes pop out LOL

[swakshakallepalli]

thank you SO MUCH!!! I tried making the strawberry açaí and the pink drink at home and they taste so much like the Starbucks ones! I don’t need to buy pink drinks anymore🥰

[catarinaorellana]

The new kiwi drink was taken off from the menu because there was as shortage issue I guess, I work at Starbucks and it was not at all "refreshing" tasted like old sticky jolly ranchers.

I feel offended. The berry hibiscus is my favorite. 😅

[claudiaschunior]

The very berry refresher is the BEST refresher! I’m going to try your receipts. The tool you used is a mueller, it is used like you did to mash drink ingredients to bring out flavors.

the refreshers are my favorite thing at starbucks so im really happy theyre easy to make at home. i wont have to spend 5.25 on a trenta one anymore lmao. im also really happy that the homemade type doesnt have caffiene, i love coffee and the refreshers but the caffiene makes me feel really anxious and terrible. i have a mango tree that makes way too many mangoes so this would be a great use for the puree my mom makes from them (to store in the freezer easily) and since dragon fruit is expensive as hell where i live ill probably substitute it with strawberries or something or even nothing (dragon fruit is almost flavorless anyway, its just useful for color.) actually with this base recipe you can make new flavors lol. i have a ton of raspberry hibiscus tea so i might make one with that lol. the possibilities are almost endless.
