There are only so few ways us Singaporeans can fight the summer heat ‒ staying indoors to enjoy aircon, or following traditional beliefs of consuming “cooling” food. For those looking for a new ice-cold beverage to try out, you’re in luck – Starbucks has launched two new pink beverages made with real strawberry slices, named the “Refreshers”.
To celebrate the new launch, the Starbucks outlet at VivoCity has transformed to include a pink pop-up space with IG-worthy and interactive spots from now till the end of August 2022.
It would be hard for you to miss the pop-up at Starbucks VivoCity as the pink-themed setup with strawberries and colourful backdrops at the entrance demands your attention. This calls for you to give your best smile and strike a pose for a new IG update.
Other than snapping photos at the pink space, there are also tables decked in pink where you can enjoy your drinks with your besties.
Pro tip: Dress in pink outfits so you can re-enact the iconic “On Wednesdays, we wear pink” scene from the Mean Girls.
To complete your ultimate pink look, order the new drinks that come in two options: Strawberry Acai with Lemonade and Pink Drink with Strawberry Acai. After sampling both beverages, you can also head over to the voting booths on the other side of the store to show love for your preference. Who knows – the one with more votes just might become a permanent addition to their menu.
I personally loved how smooth the Pink Drink with Strawberry Acai tasted. It was handcrafted with the right amount of sweetness, so I could take every sip without an overwhelming reaction.
Complementing the new pink drinks, Starbucks has also dropped a limited edition Refreshers Reusable Cold Cup.
The drinkware is decked with pink polka dots in two shades and features Starbucks’ siren logo in the middle. As you can reuse the cold cup at home or in the office, you can sip on your future cuppa knowing that you’re playing a part in environmental sustainability.
While a tall serving of the Strawberry Acai with Lemonade and Pink Drink with Strawberry Acai retail at $6.60 and $7.10 respectively, you can have either served in a grande size with the Refreshers Reusable Cold Cup at $9.90 too. Note that the cold cup is not sold separately.
It’s not everyday that Starbucks enthusiasts get treated to a chio pop-up space. The pink space at Starbucks VivoCity will be available till the end of August 2022.
Time to jio your friends and family and head down for a pink-tastic time, all while cooling off with their newly launched Refreshers.
