Splash of Flavor 2013: Passion Tea Lemonade at Starbucks

What’s sweet, red, and one of the most delicious drinks in the world? The Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks, of course!

Being one of Starbucks’ most famous cold drinks, Passion Tea Lemonade has definitely changed a lot of customers’ opinions on their favorite drink. This delicious drink is served with the options of sweetened or unsweetened, with both having 130 calories. It is served in all the traditional Starbucks sizes (tall $2.30, grande $2.65, venti $3.00).

“An infusion of hibiscus and natural tropical flavors, mixed with lemonade and hand-shaken with ice” is what Starbucks has to say about its amazing creation. The hibiscus and other tropical flavors (mostly hibiscus) gives it the vibrant red color. The tea has a yummy passion fruit taste and, when the lemonade is added, it gives it a sweeter taste.

Although the lemonade taste isn’t very noticeable, this doesn’t affect the great taste of the tea. This drink surely brightens up the dark and dull atmosphere of Starbucks, which is usually filled with people on their laptops.
