Summer Skies Drink (Starbucks Recipe)

The Starbucks Summer Skies Drink is a refreshing beverage that's part of their Starbucks Refreshers® lineup, renowned for its vibrant blue hue and fruity flavor profile. Starbucks launched it in May 2024 as a limited-time drink: a Summer-Berry Refresher base with the flavors of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry, finished with coconut milk beverage (carton) and raspberry popping pearls. This home version is built the same way.

Pro Tips to Elevate Your Drink:

  • Chill Your Tools: Pop those glasses in the fridge a bit before serving. This keeps your drink colder and longer!
  • Coconut Milk: Use coconut milk beverage (carton), or sweetened light coconut milk for a lighter drink.
  • Serving Style: Serve in a clear glass to show off that mesmerizing blue hue. It’s half the fun!

What to serve with

This light, fruity drink suits summer picnic food: mini fruit tarts, caprese skewers, veggie spring rolls, cucumber sandwiches or BBQ sliders.
