Spotted recently by [FoodBeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/news/starbucks-pinkdrink/), it appears to have really started taking off over the last few days. On Twitter, taste-testers are calling it a “magical elixir” reminiscent of pink Starburst candy: > [](https://twitter.com/CrystalNoel/status/737854888898613250) Unlike many of the other secret menu beverages, which are usually variations of its frozen Frappuccino line (think: Bubblegum Frappuccino, with strawberries and creme plus raspberry syrup), this looks to be somewhat healthy. And although it only has a bit of “Green Coffee Extract” [from the Refresher](http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/refreshers/strawberry-acai-starbucks-refresherstm-beverage), it should still give you a sugar high. Of course, there’s no real “secret” menu at Starbucks: you simply have to know exactly what to order. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4354160/starbucks-secret-menu-pink-drink/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4354160/starbucks-secret-menu-pink-drink/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Obsessed With Starbucks' Secret ‘Pink Drink’","datePublished":"2016-06-01T20:46:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:53.585Z","description":"Satisfy your sweet tooth","url":"https://time.com/4354160/starbucks-secret-menu-pink-drink/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Food and Drinks"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4354160/starbucks-secret-menu-pink-drink/","name":"The Internet Is Obsessed With Starbucks' Secret ‘Pink Drink’"}}]}] ```
