What is Starbucks paradise refresher?

Starbucks Paradise Refresher is the perfect addition to Starbucks’ summer 2022 drink lineup. This refreshing beverage combines the fantastic flavors of pineapple, passionfruit, and coconut for a beachy vibe.

While it shares a base with the pineapple passionfruit refresher drink, it has a unique twist—it’s mixed with creamy coconut milk instead of water. This makes it a fantastic choice for all the dairy-free folks out there, as it’s a vegan-friendly refresher.

Just like how coconut milk transforms the Strawberry Acai Refresher into the Pink Drink and the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher into the Dragon Drink, it works its magic in the Paradise Drink. Mixing the Pineapple Passionfruit Refresher base with coconut milk gives it that extra special touch.

The drink has a recollection of a Pina Colada. Usually, the coconut addition is the reason this drink offers a creamy and different sensation from the pineapple passionfruit. It helps to neutralize the sharp tropical essence of the fruits.

What is in the Starbucks Paradise drink? 

Pineapple juice

Pineapple juice is simple to extract or purchase online. I’m not the most industrious person, so I choose to buy ready-made pineapple juice. Who needs all that peeling and squeezing? Let someone else do the work! 

Passionfruit juice

Passion juice is also possible to make at home. If you have passion fruits, you can make homemade juice. Also, you can buy readymade passion juice from reputable stores like me. 

Coconut milk

Coconut milk is another key ingredient for this paradise drink recipe. (Water, coconut cream, cane sugar, ≤2% Tricalcium Phosphate, coconut water, sea salt, Xanthan gum, gellan gum, Guar gum, corn dextrin, and natural flavors)

Green coffee extract

Adding Green coffee extract is to give this beverage a caffeine kick, but you can totally substitute it with green tea without affecting the final flavor. If you’re not a caffeine enthusiast, feel free to skip it.

Ice cubes

Being a summer drink, it is always best served chilled. This is the purpose of the ice cubes. 

Freeze-dried diced pineapples

You can always use fresh, freeze-dried, or canned pineapples.

Tips and Tricks

1. Adjust the Juice Ratios: Feel free to tweak the proportions of pineapple juice and passionfruit juice to suit your personal taste preferences. If you prefer a stronger pineapple flavor, increase the amount of pineapple juice, or vice versa.
2. Experiment with Coconut Milk Varieties: Explore different types of coconut milk, such as canned or carton versions, to find the one that best suits your taste and desired level of creaminess.
3. Make it Extra Chilled: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your pineapple juice, passionfruit juice, and coconut milk in the refrigerator before mixing. You can also use frozen pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple to intensify the chill factor.
4. Customize the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter refresher, you can add a touch of sweetener, such as simple syrup or honey, to the mixture. Adjust the amount according to your desired level of sweetness.
5. Garnish and Presentation: Elevate the visual appeal of your Paradise Coconut Refresher by adding a pineapple wedge, a sprig of mint, or a slice of lime as a garnish. It not only looks impressive but also adds a hint of extra flavor.
