The sun is blazing, and there’s nothing quite like a refreshing drink to quench your summer thirst. This recipe lets you recreate the Summer Berry Refresher from Starbucks at home, complete with chewy raspberry boba pearls – but with a fun twist!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ¾ cup summer berry juice blend (or a combination of ½ cup raspberry juice, ¼ cup blueberry juice, and ¼ cup blackberry juice)
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
  • ¼ cup cooked raspberry boba pearls (available at Asian grocery stores or online)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Grab your ice cubes, summer berry juice (or individual fruit juices), simple syrup, and those enticing raspberry boba pearls.
  2. The Boba Base: In a tall glass, add the cooked raspberry boba pearls.
  3. Berry Blast: Pour in the summer berry juice blend (or individual fruit juices) and simple syrup.
  4. Chill it out: Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top.
  5. Shake it separately (optional): If you want a frothier drink, pour the juice mixture into a shaker with a lid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Then, carefully pour the frothy juice over the ice and boba pearls in the glass.
  6. Savor the Summer: Take a sip and enjoy your homemade Summer Berry Refresher with every delicious burst of flavor from the boba pearls!

Tips & Tricks

  • Sweetness preference? No problem! Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking.
  • Feeling creamy? Add a splash of milk or cream to the juice mixture before shaking (optional).
  • No shaker? No worries! Simply pour the juice mixture over the ice and boba pearls.
  • Mix it up! Don’t have mixed berry juice? You can substitute it with a combination of individual fruit juices like raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry.
  • Leftover boba pearls? Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ready for your next refreshing drink!

This homemade Summer Berry Refresher lets you enjoy the taste of summer with a fun boba twist, all from the comfort of your own home! Skip the lines and embrace the cool down with this easy and delicious recipe.
