EASE
IN ACQUISITION—6
Not
uncommon, but still found more at less conspicuous locations than at major
chains. Probably will change soon
enough, though….
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—6
Starbucks
Refreshers—Strawberry Lemonade has the same problem as Raspberry Pomegranate in
terms of the exposure of aluminum giving the can an incomplete look, only it
lacks the bold, rich coloration of the latter. On one hand, this means less contrast between the
“completed” part of the can and the more-or-less bare part and therefore less
of a clash, on the other hand, this lack of clash works as sort of a testament
to the packaging’s slight weakness.
TASTE—6
I
liked Starbucks Refresher’s Strawberry Lemonade's flavor less than I did the Raspberry
Pomegranate—even if both had the same overstated sweetness, at least Raspberry
Pomegranate tasted somewhat different.
Strawberry lemonade is a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill flavor, and I don’t
feel as though I really gained anything out of drinking it.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—5.5
Quite
unremarkable and unsatisfying. You
get a mild boost, and that’s all.
Scarcely enough to be considered a kick.
KICK
(DURATION)—5.5
Starbucks
Refreshers—Strawberry Lemonade lasts only about 2 hours before giving out. Given how weak the initial kick was, I’m
surprised I could tell that it lasted even that long.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—5.67
Well,
if you’ve got to try a Starbucks Refreshers beverage, go with Raspberry
Pomegranate. Strawberry Lemonade
is really quite unremarkable in every respect, and bound to please only Starbucks
diehards.

I liked all of them - was not looking for a huge kick. Will buy again, if I can find them.
ReplyDeleteToo darn expensive and have not noticed any "kick". Raspberry Pomegranate tasted OK.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry lemonade is my favorite! And I never drank Starbucks until these drinks came out. I don't like the bitter taste of coffee, and now I get the coffee bean without that bitterness. And the other reason I like it is because there isn't a whole lot of caffeine in it, so that's a bonus for those of us don't want too much
ReplyDeleteI like the Strawberry Lemonade.. I have the Raspberry Pomegranate in my fridge, I'll try that later. I'm not looking for a kick... I don't think, although I could use one. It'll probably be just a one time try thing, and then an occasional purchase.
ReplyDeleteI like them all. If you're looking for mild caffeinated drink especially for warm weather they're pretty good. These aren't meant to be the crazy over caffeinated stuff that im personally not that crazy about. I also like that it's carbonated.
