The Starbucks Refreshers Strawberry Açaí Lemonade has been debuted by the brand in a new bottled format that's headed to grocers in the US to help consumers enjoy the cafe-inspired experience from home.
The flavored juice drink comes as a decaffeinated version of the cafe original and features tasting notes of strawberry and açai on a base of lemonade. The drink is thus suited for enjoyment on its own or as the base for a mixed refreshment to enjoy in summertime heat.
The Starbucks Refreshers Strawberry Açaí Lemonade comes in 1.18-liter bottles to accommodate multi-serve occasions and builds on the continued popularity of the brand's Refresher product range. The drinks have gained popularity in recent years amongst consumers who aren't coffee drinkers, but have become a cult classic even with java drinkers.
