Refreshers with Coconut Water, Strawberry Lemonade, 12 fl Oz. Cans (12 Pack)

2025 Update It saddens me that Amazon is the only place I can locate my #1 absolute favorite drink. There’s nothing else available on the market that even compares to the canned Starbucks Refreshers. The ingredients are unique: Coconut water, fruit juice and a small amount of sugar. Green coffee extract and B vitamin’s are the “energy source.” There’s something about it that hydrates me in a way that nothing else can, even other drinks that contain coconut water. The original formulation also contained Ginseng. Sweetness is derived from a small portion of fruit juice, primarily white grape, with the other types varying by flavor. Peach Passion Fruit is my go-to. The Strawberry Lemonade used to be my favorite among the 3 currently available flavors but sometime in 2021, something changed. Now the Strawberry Lemonade tastes as if it’s been laced with Robitussin cough syrup. The Black Cherry Lime is tolerable when super cold, but it’s definitely not “great.” But I love this drink so much that I will take the Cherry or Strawberry when the Peach isn’t available. UPDATE 09/2021 It’s a gamble every time I order. I hesitate to even complain because this is literally the only source I can acquire them from now! In my opinion, canned Starbucks Refreshers are the PERFECT drink. Ideal ratio of calories, caffeine, sugar and hydration. Nothing else compares. One by one, every source to buy has become unavailable. Safeway, Circle K, Q-T… Now I can’t even find them at an actual Starbucks. Anyways, sometimes they come funky. As if someone poured cough syrup in them. It’s very distressing. Please keep making them available and provide them how they’re suppose to be. Old Review Item brought in immediately after delivery. It’s NOT expired. This case has a distinct, overwhelmingly atrocious syrup flavor. I will still give it a full 5 stars because it’s normally the best drink ever made and I will not contribute to any action that decreases its popularity and therefore my future access to it. Plus, Amazon was super cool in replacing it.

Since high school Ive been dedicated to this particular beverage (I don't drink coffee) and was absolutely crushed when suddenly I couldn't get these in store anymore (this and some other products ><)! Everyone told me they made the same drink behind the bar and to just order that but for me it just wasn't quite the same. Eventually it occurred to me I could probably snag some online and I was right! And not only that but I could dump sums of cash and get whole cases all to myself! Cases just don't seem to last like they used to because I Have these things coming in every month! And Im still thirsty. ITs not overly strong, its not flooding your nose with bubbles like sodas can, but its not a cup of boring water. An excellent alternative to a soda or alcoholic beverage or even plain water that is just the right amount of flavor, bubbles and size. No weird bad lingering aftertaste or offputting smell when sniffed right from the can, this refreshing refresher is the perfect summer time sipper!

This is my guilty pleasure: Coconut Water + Caffeine is an awesome combination for an am kick start or pm pick up. Be advised, this has its own unique flavor - not really strawberry or lemonade, but good none the less. The Black Cherry Limeade is also good, but not "traditionally flavored" either. These Refreshers are really hard to find retail, so I have to order online, but at significant savings over what you pay at the Zippy Mart or Grocery. I have been ordering for almost a year and have had one package come in damaged with several cans leaking and another come in with the product flat (no CO2). Amazon replaced both hassle-free. I will continue to purchase!! Love it!!

I absolutely love that i can order this product. Tastes amazing!!

I have been drinking Strawberry Lemonade for years since my wife introduced me to it since it doesn't give me any bad crashes. This month when I received my monthly delivery I noticed an awful taste. My wife tried and she also noticed it. We tried a 2nd can the next day and it's the same. I figured maybe we received a bad batch but it seems the entire questions/answers is filled with people complaining. Why did they do this to a great product? First Trump, Then Corona, What next? Aliens. Update: January 7th, 2021 -- I received a box directly from the bottling company a few months ago and that tasted great. Then I recently received a subscription which I thought I cancelled and it tasted great. So I'm updating my review to reflect that it's once again back to tasting great again. Keep it up because so far so good.

**UPDATE** Anyone looking for a similar type of drink with lasting energy and relatively healthy, try the V8 +Energy. I like the strawberry kiwi carbonated ones (not all the +energy are carbonated) and order them in bulk on Amazon but you can usually find a pack of 4 at walmart/kroger for like 4$. I hope this helps someone I used to love these and recommend them to EVERYONE. My last 2 orders of this drink have been absolutely terrible. I had been receiving one box every 2 weeks but have canceled my subscription for now because the last 2 boxes have had a disgusting taste in most of the cans. I'd love to figure out the problem so I can reorder them again. I loved having them conveniently in my house so I don't have to leave the house earlier to stop at Starbucks before going to work, and they're healthier than the Mountain Dew I have replaced them with to avoid leaving earlier.

Daughter loves it & saves her from going to Starbucks everyday and spending a lot of money. I bought dehydrate strawberries to add to the drink

It tastes fine but is not close to what you would get at a Starbucks flavor-wise
