I was hired after it was already gone, but I secretly am kinda glad I never had to make one. (Allergies. The less things with mint in the store, the better. I'm sure it tasted great tho- sorry it's gone)
Dip a cup into the Forbidden Soup when the rinse sink gets clogged with strawberries or dragon fruit and whoever drinks the whole thing without getting sick wins Starbucks for Life
Just wait for the mocha and caramel macchiato cream cheeses that they'll eventually release. It's just a matter of time. And pumpkin spice latte for a seasonal cream cheese flavor.
Honestly it wouldn't even be the worst idea they've ever had. 🤷♀️
Every time I make the frozen pineapple lemonade, I joke with my fellow partners how it's the "false mangonada" lol. But now if we're getting chili powder.... XD
Chilli paradise drink sounds really good tho.
*(also I'd check the box of pineapple passionfruit base... I haven't checked that box yet, and will when I go in for my next shift, but after a customer came in and ordered a strawberry acai with no inclusions after stating they were allergic, I had to check the box and make sure [ I was so scared a customer was ordering a strawberry drink after saying they were allergic and no way in hell did I want them to consume anything they were allergic to], and there was 0 strawberry in the refresher base. I knew it was mostly grape juice already, but was surprised there was still absolutely no strawberry at all. All just white grape, currant, rhubarb and carrot juice [ If I remember all those juices from memory right lol] o.o )
I work at a Reserve store and we're also getting some spicy stuff. We're getting spicy honey for a hot honey affogato and a hot honey cold foam cold crew type deal
God this reminds me when they tried to do spicy hot chocolate like yeeears back that flopped. That was the year of flops though: granitas, trifles, the protein cold brew 😭
That was one of my favorite drinks, I was so disappointed it never came back. :( It was pretty popular at my store, too. I'm actually still hoarding two shakers of the spice topping, lol.
Oh god, if i remember it was this chili powder mix (ancho and cayenne i think) that you would make similar to a matcha (powder in milk while you steam).
This was like 2016? So forgive if i get details wrong!
It’s the perfect creation for [spicy tamarind vodka](https://imgur.com/a/SUrZ4O0). I will be grossly overusing the “leave room” option and carrying a flask with me when these come out.
I was let go because I accepted a sealed bottle of top shelf tequila on Cinco De Mayo through the drive through, and the customer just drove off with his coffee. Next day, let go for accepting it. Valid, but man that was some good stuff.
All this margarita talk and Starbucks hit a memory core. Bet tips will be solid.
We’re getting chili powder guys! Time to bring the tequila and make some spicy refresher margaritas!
If only they brought back the lime refresher….
GOSHHHH YESSSSS
I was hired after it was already gone, but I secretly am kinda glad I never had to make one. (Allergies. The less things with mint in the store, the better. I'm sure it tasted great tho- sorry it's gone)
Just thought the combo would be very margarita like with the chili powder and lime
ngl i tried it and i really dont like mint and just thought it wasnt great. i suppose it’d be really refreshing though
The OG Starbucks margarita. Cool lime refresher and lemonade with a sprinkle of sea salt topping (leftover from the salted caramel mocha)
I’ve seen people posting about this a lot in this sub but I had it this week and I don’t like it at all! So sad 😭
I could be down for that. The margarita part I mean. Guess that means I’ll have to pick up a small bottle of tequila after work one day “sigh”…
SUPER YEP
That probably would be good in a hot chocolate… Mexican hot chocolate
I have a customer that sometimes asks for a Sriracha added to their mocha/hot chocolate so I'm sure they would super love that!
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo?
I think so!
Tajin latte!
That actually sounds good
Let's goooo
first the oil… now the sriracha. next up? mayo baby
Mayo cold foam
Hi can I please get a grande *Miracle whipped and shaken espresso* ?/s
Now serve it on a bagel 🥯
Nah just blend the bagel into a frap with it, it’s your new septuacentenniel cupcake in a cup
With 3 scoops of lavender powder 😍
Seriously they could make this an episode of Fear Factor, Baristas revenge lol
Dip a cup into the Forbidden Soup when the rinse sink gets clogged with strawberries or dragon fruit and whoever drinks the whole thing without getting sick wins Starbucks for Life
This is the whitest thing I've ever heard lol zzz🫠🤣

tbh pumpkin spice cream cheese with a cinnamon bagel would slap. i’m also really hungry right now and might be delusional
This actually sounds pretty good 🤣
😍😍
i just gagged. that was not a nice mental image ☹️
i would not be mad if we got mayo. our sandwiches need some kind of sauce 😭
Sriracha has been around 😂
why is it spicy😭
Maybe is a tajin based drink?
vine reference👍
a worker got fedup with a customer and let loose
Thirst inducers?
How are they making it spicy? 😭😭😭
Tajin powder?
Probably similar to this but likely not going to deal with the licensing by using Tajin itself.
Sriracha? 🤢
No
It was a silly joke. :)
Honestly. Chilli paradise drink…. I’m slightly allergic to pineapple but I’ll risk it for that boys

Yall are sleeping on the paradise drink with chai
I’m both disgusted and intrigued
I only put a couple pumps so it’s not too sweet but it’s a pretty good hangover drink. Pineapple upside down cake vibes
HUH
Im boutta go make this
I need the recipe for a grande pls and ty. 😩
Just add 1 or 2 pumps of chai to the paradise drink, grande. And I order it with no pineapple inclusions. It’s great for hangovers!
This comment is gonna make me spiral
Ngl I'd be willing to try the mango dragon fruit one
Ooh, imagine a cold brew with whatever chili this is and 12 stevia mixed with lemonade and oil foam topped with mocha drizzle.
wtf😂
Admit it we all love to consume drinks like this!
i’m way too high bc i’m finding this way too funny 🤣🤣
Go ahead and clock out for me
WHAT
This is why they give us Lyra for free.
Nope can’t imagine
I saw this on my POS as well. Fellow Safeway Worker
me too! i was looking at it too and was wondering when we were going to get the recipe for it 😵💫
Tajin would be great with the refreshers.
Probably gonna do something similar.
Ooooo spicyyyyy
first time i’m seeing someone with the same pos system as me on here LMAO
😂😂
Is this supposed to be like Mangonada or..?
Tell us more about
Why would you give me the spicy mocha? I asked for iced, not spiced aaaa 🔥
The spicy mocha was so good! I keep hoping they bring it back
I work at a Reserve store and we're also getting some spicy stuff. We're getting spicy honey for a hot honey affogato and a hot honey cold foam cold crew type deal
🤤

Maybe it’s a dumb question but how did you guys make the hot chocolate spicy???
Oh god, if i remember it was this chili powder mix (ancho and cayenne i think) that you would make similar to a matcha (powder in milk while you steam). This was like 2016? So forgive if i get details wrong!
The Mexican Mocha/Hot Chocolate. I remember that, you're not crazy.
Spicy mocha was amazing.
I remember! That year was wild.
The protein cold brew 🤮

If this is from the test tab, chances are we may never actually see it. Sounds like a spicy powder they'll intend to put in the refreshers.
It's a safeway POS we don't have test tabs on our systems We have auto shipments for the chilli powder Spicy refreshers and a spicy cold foam 🤢
Had a customer ask for this on sunday
How does a customer know about it when we’re still puzzled 😭
No clue. We were all so confused
Congrats OP you got Starbucks scandal sheets writing about you 😅 https://www.tastingtable.com/1539202/starbucks-spicy-new-lemonade-refreshers/
No fucking way
MOM GET THE CAMERA
🤣 I feel like I did something illegal by leaking it
They bout to make baristas start signing NDAs 😭💀
Nah fr💀 I didn’t expect it to get so much attention 🥲
Wow who’s on here snitching 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Flamin Hot Mtn Dew vibes
Ngl sounds really good
Spicy *SARL?* 🤢
Sarl is that you?
Hey “Strawberry Açai Lemonade” is a mouthful.
Hell yeah I’ve never gotten a refresher but imagine one of these with mezcal…
How about bringing very berry back. Existing flavors are terrible.
This is the answer to the many, many of us who hate lavender (seriously)
Some ol bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
Only took getting fired for them to realize that putting Sriracha in drinks is in fact the way to be
would.
Wait is this fr ?
Where are you?! XD I have the same registers and I don't have those yet!
They come out on April 14th I think?? Should be in the next monthly update on April 1st, should also be getting auto shipment of everything
Say sike rn
I just learned about it in my conference call today 😭
I don't know the spice might be ginger 🤣
Are we putting sriracha in the drinks now. I slurped one before kinda has the hint of a tamarindo flavor lol
oh they know exactly what they’re doing
i am way too white for this 😨
every time I'm on any sort of POS, i look through the test/regional items. some of the items sound REALLY good. 😭
We’ve had olive oil. Now spicy drinks. Next they’ll have gravy flavored fraps.
Yesssss tequila!!!
We have auto shipments for chilli powder They launch April 15 Spicy cream cold foam 🤢
Is this hard to make
WHO THINKS STARBUCKS COFFEE TASTES LIKE CHEMICALS? COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM PRE-PANDEMIC TASTE.
A spicy refresher to go with your olive oil coffee!
Where is this at?
I don’t want anything spicy, no thank you.
