This drink isn't necessarily "new" for me, it's one that has been on the menu for a while, I just don't typically order it because I have other favorites that come to mind first. However, I decided it would still be a good drink to write about, since I have not had it in a good amount of time!
This week's drink of choice is the Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher from Starbucks! There are three options of how to order this refresher which are either the refresher base made with water, with lemonade, or with coconut milk, making an option for everyone's preferences. I usually get my refreshers with lemonade, because I like the balance of sweet and sourness together.
I'm not sure why I don't get this refresher more often, because every time I do, I always really enjoy it. It's has a great tropical feel from the mango and the dragonfruit, and the lemonade helps balance out the sweetness by providing a tart flavor. I usually never get any berry inclusions in the other refreshers I get, except for this one because the dragonfruit pieces are delicious! I have seen if you choose to not get the berry inclusions for the mango dragonfruit refresher that the color is a very pale yellow, because the vibrant pink/purple color comes from the dragonfruit pieces.
Overall, I give this drink a 9/10. I don't think that any refresher will ever beat my favorite Strawberry lemonade one, but this is pretty close! I'll definitely have to get this drink more and switch things up from my usual order. I recommend this to anyone who has not tried it! Thank you for reading about this week's beverage, and make sure to check back next week for a new drink review!

- Ask for a _ size Mango Dragonfruit refresher
- Ask for your preference of either water, lemonade, or coconut milk (I get the lemonade one)
I have never tried this, so I will certainly have to. Thank you for telling me how to order it; I would have had no idea.
ReplyDeleteI always forget about the refreshers they offer! I personally have not tried this one but after reading your review I feel I need to try it. The only thing I struggle with is deciding which option to get. I don't always like the sourness that the lemonade adds but, I haven't tried any of the other alternatives. I like to change up my orders every once in awhile so maybe that will be my next try!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have every tried this refresher. After your review I think I will be trying it! I never thought to try it with coconut milk so I am really curious as to how that would taste.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher. It's been a while since I've gotten this one, I'll have to get one soon. I'm not sure if I 've tried it with the lemonade, so next time I get this refresher I'll have to try it.
