Starbucks Launches Spicy Lemonade Refreshers

April 16, 2024

Starbucks is spicing things up this spring with the launch of its new Spicy Lemonade Refreshers. These refreshing beverages are based on the popular “swicy” trend, which blends sweet and spicy flavors for a new taste experience. Available for a limited time at U.S. Starbucks stores, the new drinks offer a unique twist on the classic Starbucks Refreshers Beverage, combining the sweetness of the base drink, the tang of lemonade, and the kick of the Starbucks Spicy Chili Powder Blend.

Here is a brief overview of each of the new Spicy Lemonade Refresher drinks:

Spicy Dragonfruit

First up is the Spicy Dragonfruit, a tropical delight that combines the sweet flavors of mango and exotic dragonfruit with zesty lemonade and a hint of spice from the Starbucks Spicy Chili Powder Blend. It’s shaken up with real pieces of dragonfruit.


Spicy Pineapple

Next, is the Spicy Pineapple flavor, which brings together the tropical tastes of pineapple and passionfruit. This vibrant drink is made with zesty lemonade, real pineapple pieces, and a dash of Starbucks Spicy Chili Powder Blend.

Spicy Strawberry

Last but not least, the Spicy Strawberry combines strawberry with notes of açaí. Shaken with zesty lemonade, real pieces of strawberry, and Starbucks Spicy Chili Powder Blend, this beverage tops off the three drinks being offered.

Starbucks Additional Menu Information & New Drinks

To complement these new Spicy Lemonade Refreshers, Starbucks is also introducing a Spicy Cream Cold Foam. This customizable topping can be added to any Starbucks beverage.


These new Spicy Lemonade Refreshers and the Spicy Cream Cold Foam add-on are available for a limited time this spring at U.S. Starbucks stores, while supplies last.
