The beloved Pink Drink from Starbucks has captured hearts with its vibrant color and refreshing taste. But does it come with a caffeine kick? The answer is yes, but it's not overwhelming. A 16-ounce serving contains about 45 mg of caffeine, primarily sourced from green coffee extract found in the Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher. To put that into perspective, that's roughly equivalent to a half cup of brewed green tea.
For those who are sensitive to caffeine or simply prefer their beverages without it, there's good news: you can easily make your own version at home by omitting the green coffee concentrate. This way, you still get to enjoy the delightful blend of strawberry acai flavors mixed with creamy coconut milk—just minus that earthy note from the coffee.
Interestingly enough, many people gravitate towards this drink not just for its flavor but also for its health profile. With only around 100 calories per serving and made primarily from coconut milk and fruit flavors, it’s often seen as a healthier indulgence compared to other sugary drinks on the market.
If you're curious about how this compares to other popular options at Starbucks or want alternatives without any caffeine whatsoever—like Mint Majesty or White Hot Chocolate—you'll find plenty of choices available too! So whether you're sipping on a Pink Drink during an afternoon break or opting for something completely decaffeinated in the morning, there’s no shortage of delicious ways to hydrate yourself.
