I Tried All of Starbucks’ New Summer Drinks

Summer has arrived and to celebrate Starbucks has released new drinks to their menu to keep you cool and refreshed on those hot summer days. The new menu consists of three new iced tea lemonades and a new latte, which is exclusive to Canada.

As a Starbucks lover, I have been dying to try these fun new drinks and I decided to give my honest review of all of them right here on the blog so you know what to expect when ordering something new.

The iced tea lemonades come in the flavours iced peach green tea lemonade, iced guava white tea lemonade, and iced blueberry black tea lemonade. The other new addition to the menu is the honeycomb lavender iced latte. While I usually never stray from my regular order, sometimes it’s fun to try something new and hopefully, this will inspire you to try something new as well!

Iced Honeycomb Lavender Latte

This drink really surprised me. I didn’t know what to expect from it, but from the title, I assumed it would taste very strongly of honey and lavender. I was very wrong. This drink is actually amazing and I would highly recommend it. It tastes sweet and creamy, and the best part is that the espresso balances out the other tastes so you only get a slight hint of the lavender and honey.

The drink also comes in one of the strawless cold cups, which is cool and environmentally friendly!

Overall, I would give this drink an 9/10.

Iced Guava White Tea Lemonade

I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to iced tea lemonades, and while this drink tasted pretty good, it wasn’t my favourite. It has a citrusy taste and is very refreshing, but guava isn’t my favourite.

I would recommend getting this if you are someone who really likes sweet, fruity drinks. It does taste pretty good, but it is really sweet.

Overall, I would give it a 7/10.

Iced Guava Green Tea Lemonade

I’m pretty upset because my Starbucks ran out of the peach green tea lemonades, so they made it with guava instead. If I were really dedicated I would have gone to a different Starbucks, but oh well.

While I was disappointed, this drink actually tastes amazing. The thing I didn’t like about the iced guava white tea lemonade was that it was very strong and sweet, whereas this one has a very subtle fruity flavour and is less sweet.

I would definitely recommend this one over the iced guava white tea lemonade, and it would probably be a better drink for someone who doesn’t like super sweet or fruity drinks.

I would give this drink an 8.5/10.

Iced Blueberry Black Tea Lemonade

This was the iced tea lemonade that I was most excited to try because I love blueberries, however, it’s definitely got a unique taste. I’m not too sure how I feel about it because it tastes good, but then the blueberry black tea aftertaste is really strong. I think this drink has a particular taste that only some people would enjoy, as it isn’t your typical fruity taste. After a few sips though, it has grown on me.

Overall, I would give it a 8/10.

Overall, all four drinks were really good and out of the four, I would probably order the iced honeycomb lavender latte and the iced guava green tea lemonade again. I really wish I could have tried the iced peach green tea lemonade, though, because I think that would have been my favourite drink.

Starbucks did a really good job with this drink menu, especially the honeycomb lavender latte. I would recommend all of these drinks if you are looking to try something new and refreshing for summer!
