It’s your favorite Starbucks Barista with another installment of Starbucks Drink of the Week bringing you delicious and Instagram worthy drinks!

Drink Name: Sunrise Surprise

Pinneaple, strawberry, and passion fruit

mixed for a wonderful fruity tea

when coffee just doesn’t sound good

 

Price: $3.75 for a grande

 

How to Order: Order exactly like this to avoid confusion and to ensure that the drink is made correctly. “Hi, could I get a (tall (12oz) /grande(16 oz) /venti (20 oz)) iced tea with pineapple infusion to the bottom line, strawberry acai and passion tea to the top line.”

 

Barista Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix and match the teas.

 

Coffee Fun Fact: Starbucks took out the peach and mango syrup and replaced it with infusions for a healthier option.

 

*Please be aware that since this is an off-menu drink, you will need to provide the recipe. Also, understand that pricing is up to the discretion of the barista so the price above may be more or less of this estimation. Lastly, be kind to your barista perfectly tasting drinks take time.

 

Stayed tuned next week for a non-coffee drinker’s dream drink.
