What is a Strawberry Acai Refresher?
Starbucks serves a popular and revitalizing beverage called Strawberry Açaí Refresher. It combines the flavors of strawberries and acai berries to produce a delicious and revitalizing beverage. Having all the ingredients at home is much more convenient than spending time (and money!) in the drive-thru.
The green coffee extract is one of the essential ingredients you can leave in or remove, depending on your tolerance for caffeine. This ingredient imparts a subtle trace of caffeine to the beverage and provides an essential energy boost without the strong coffee flavor. However, it is optional, so don’t worry if you choose to avoid it! If you want another variant of this drink that includes delicious coconut milk, try my Pink Drink replica recipe.

- Combine: Add the passion tea, strawberry white-cranberry juice, simple syrup, acai powder, and green coffee extract to a shaker cup or a large glass. Shake or agitate until well combined.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour into a glass over ice and garnish with freeze-dried strawberries. Serve immediately.
**How to Make Simple Syrup: If you don’t have simple syrup, add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved. Let it chill completely, then store it in an air-tight container in the fridge. It will hold for up to 2 weeks. If you like it less syrupy, omit the simple syrup.**
Strawberry Acai Refresher Variations
Some straightforward variations and substitutions can be made to customize this cocktail. Here are some suggestions:
- Strawberry white-cranberry juice may be substituted with white grape juice, but 13 cups of fresh strawberries must be chopped and mushed to achieve the strawberry flavor.
- If you don’t have passion tea concentrate, substitute two Tazo passion tea bags steeped in a half cup of boiling water for five minutes. Remove the teabags and allow the tea to settle to room temperature.
- Make it Strawberry Acai Lemonade: For a strawberry acai lemonade, fill your glass only two-thirds of the way with the strawberry drink and top with your preferred lemonade.
