As a college student, it’s strange enough that I hate coffee, making it even weirder that I work at Starbucks. I love the irony in how I know more about coffee than many of my coffee-drinking friends. I could easily list the amount of espresso shots and syrup pumps that go into every drink; however, I have no idea how they actually taste. I am probably the worst person to ask for recommendations because I’ll just say something like an Iced Caramel Macchiato.
However, through my time at Starbucks, I have become a pro on cold bar and mastered the art of Pink Drinks, Refreshers, and Frappuccinos. Lucky for you, if you don’t like coffee like me, I have some recommendations that are much more interesting than Strawberry Acai Refreshers. Don’t get me wrong, I love Starbucks’ Refreshers, but I’m always finding myself wanting something different and fancier like the coffees customers are always ordering. So, here are some of the best non-coffee drinks, in my opinion, as a Starbucks Barista.
