Summer Skies Drink Review

y’all know i love starbucks and i love boba, so i had to try a drink off the new menu!!! i got the summer skies drink refresher and it was soooo good!!! i was really nervous about the popping boba and the raspberry flavor mixed with coconut milk, but it all blended beautifully!! the bobas popped like they were supposed to and had a great sweet flavor, and it was super summery and refreshing. they also were super generous with the boba so there was a ton in the bottom. i highly recommend, especially if you like their other coconut milk drinks and/or popping boba!!

fyi, don’t sip from the top or else it just tastes like artificial raspberry water hahaha, make sure to get some of the syrupy boba in there so the flavors mix

so give the new menu a try!! i’ll def be back for the other drinks and those pastries look amazing too!

4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

... Read moreOkay, so my initial review of the Starbucks Summer Skies Drink barely scratched the surface, and y'all had more questions! I knew I had to dive deeper because this drink is more than just a pretty face – it's an experience. If you’re like me and love a good Starbucks concoction, especially with a fun twist, then buckle up. First off, let’s talk about the visual appeal. You know how some drinks just look delicious? The Summer Skies Drink, with its gorgeous blue and red layers (just like in the pictures!), totally delivers on aesthetics. It practically screams summer, making it perfect for those warm, sunny days. The base is this lovely raspberry-flavored Refresher. It’s not overly sweet, which I appreciate, but definitely has that juicy, slightly tart berry kick. What makes it truly unique, though, is the creamy coconut milk swirl. It doesn't overpower the raspberry; instead, it mellows it out, creating this surprisingly harmonious, tropical fusion. It’s like a berry smoothie and a refresher had a delightful baby – a perfect blend for anyone who enjoys fruity flavors with a creamy undertone. Now, for the star of the show: the raspberry-flavored popping boba! This isn't your traditional chewy tapioca; these little spheres burst with a sweet, concentrated raspberry juice when you bite into them. It’s an explosion of flavor and a super fun texture that genuinely elevates the drink. The original review mentioned how generous Starbucks was with the boba, and I can confirm that they don't skimp, so you get plenty of those delightful pops throughout your entire drink. It really adds to the overall enjoyment and makes every sip exciting. To truly maximize your Summer Skies experience, I have to reiterate my absolute top tip: make sure you get some of that boba and the flavored syrup at the bottom in every single sip. If you just sip from the top, it can taste a bit diluted or, as I said before, like artificial raspberry water. Give it a good stir, or better yet, use a wide straw to ensure you're getting the full, blended sensation. Trust me, it makes all the difference! For those who love to customize, this drink offers some fun possibilities. I’m thinking of trying it next time with a splash of lemonade for an extra tangy kick, or maybe even asking for a lighter coconut milk if you want the raspberry to shine even more brightly. You could also try adding vanilla sweet cream cold foam on top for a dessert-like twist, though I’m curious how that would blend with the boba! So, who is this drink for? If you're a fan of fruity, refreshing drinks, especially those with a creamy twist, and you're open to or already love popping boba, this is absolutely for you. It’s perfect for a hot day or when you need a little burst of sunshine in your cup. Overall, my 4/5 star rating still holds strong. It’s a playful, innovative drink that brings a fun factor to the Starbucks menu. Don't be shy about the boba – it's what makes this drink truly sparkle!
