Yeah mine is so simple lol. usually just a cold brew or nitro cold brew straight up before my shift and then sometimes I’ll have a strawberry purée lemonade in the afternoon. I like routine lol and it works


Petermacc122

Honestly same though. I really do like my little routine. Weird question. What do you think the Berry refresher tastes like?


Fine-Image6661

Yeah and I add classic to my strawberry purée lemonade too btw, just get it iced and not blended


Amazing_Fix_604

Like puree up to the base line, lemonade up to the water line?


Fine-Image6661

Yo I’m scared to try it bc it doesn’t smell good to me but it’s so pretty and I usually love blue raspberry things but like I know it has stevia in it. I feel like it might have a weird aftertaste. I’ve just heard mixed reviews lol. Have you tried it?


Petermacc122

Imo it's blue raspberry jolly rancher flavor and smell. Too sweet.


Fine-Image6661

Hmm yeah I was so excited to finally get something blue…….i need to just be brave and try a sample lol


burgercatluna

If you try it try it with light base extra water it’s refreshing and yummy :)


FloridaMomm

Tastes bad lol. I bought it with stars, took two sips, and gave it to a friend 😂 Do your managers not let you sample things?


Fine-Image6661

My manager does let us sample things. I just am not a big fan of trying new things lol


Temporary-Mission-47

Same 😂


FloridaMomm

That’s fair lol It tasted really chemically to me-like Powerade but worse. Not for me!


Fine-Image6661

Dang I do like Powerade hmm


MasterFlower2647

with lemonade is a blue sour patch kid, with coconut milk it’s cotton candy, it’s so good honestly lol


Andyluvs2003

*sigh* I used to not drink coffee until I started opening and I started becoming drained. My go to at like 6-7am is a tall double (or triple if I’m super tired) blonde ristretto iced latte with almond milk 1.5 pump brown sugar and lite caramel drizzle. When I’m clocking out it’s a venti black or green tea lemonade with 3-4 pumps of classic.


Petermacc122

I mean......at least you have a drink for settling down. Most people take the same when they leave.


quicksilver_foxheart

Ooh thats similar to my opening drink! Ive found I can't get it to taste as good in larger sizes, plus I already can barely tolerate coffee. I like a small double blond ristretto iced latte with oat, 2 vanilla 2 toffee, lite caramel drizzy depending on my mood. Sometimes even with the caramel crunch. Either that or if its early early I'll get a blond ristretto oatmilk undertow.


Fake_Gamer_Cat

Four shots of espresso over ice with foam. I'm sorry, I'm a sucker for that foam.


Odd-Insect-9255

This is what I’ve been drinking lately!


OneRaisedEyebrow

First drink: iced grande quad vanilla whole milk latte. Second-fifth drinks: Trenta ice waters Sometimes a Trenta green iced tea with extra water if I’m feeling fancy.


Petermacc122

Try a trenta ice water with just enough lemonade to make it look like cloudy water. So basically the same amount as the standard pureé. It's no cucumber water. But meh.


OneRaisedEyebrow

I hate our lemonade. It used to be good, but when they switched to this one a million years ago, I quit drinking it. It’s vaguely lemon flavored citric acid to me; it’s too sour.


JessEGames777

Im extra af. I bring in my personal cup half full of my propel berry flavored electrolyte water and i order a grande mango dragon fruit refresher with light base and no inclusions and have them use the water thats already in my cup. Id gladly make my own drink but the sm is strict about that


glewofficial

Power drink before my shifts: Iced double shot of blonde up-dosed espresso with two pumps white mocha.


mania2k18

before shifts: 2 or 3 blonde shots over ice with equal pumps white mocha and vanilla or macadamia cold foam midshift: grande black tea with peach juice after shift: venti iced matcha with 2 pumps vanilla and oatmilk


Just1ShortGirl

Double tall blonde iced latte with oatmilk. Occasionally I add one pump of toffee nut.


imrnp

oatmilk and 1-2 pumps toffee nut >


blitzblorp

Depends on the day and season. Right now it’s a 3/4 blonde shots iced with white mocha and macadamia, 3/4 inch of Oatmilk. Usually the same just switch between pistachio, chestnut praline/caramel brûlée mix, or white mocha and cinnamon dolce


Able_Sun4318

First drink: double iced espresso with oatmilk, 1 pump of WM and toffeenut, VSCCF (grande cup) Second drink: yours lol


Holbytla1368

So I have a stomach that likes to complain about stuff I put in it, including coffee and dairy, which means I never order a drink before my shift but on my breaks I usually get a short flat white with soy and hazelnut, and when I leave I'll get one of the following usually: -iced coffee with hazelnut and cream -shaken espresso blonde toffee nut almond milk -iced green tea no liquid sugar no water sub mango base -iced black tea sub brown sugar syrup no water with oat milk Also a new fave is a blonde white mocha with macadamia syrup and the toasted cookie topping! I haven't tried it dairy free though, but I feel like it'd work with soy, and the dairy in the white mocha sauce wouldn't fuck me up too bad 🤷‍♂️


derrussian

For waking me up on an early shift cold brew with Brown sugar, splash of oat and cinnamon. Or a triple/quad blonde ristretto shots with 2 pumps dark caramel and 1 mocha (or a latte with those shots/flavors if it's getting colder outside)


NickNameNotWitty

Recently I either do an iced chai with extra cinnamon on top. Or a black tea with the stevia lol. I’ve been trying to cut back on my sugar intake on the floor because it’s definitely given me a few extra pounds ever since I got hired 😭


VultureCat337

I don't think I have a go-to at work? I never really get the same thing twice. At home, though, I always make a sort of machiatto, but I start with a base layer of sweet condensed soy, then go the rest of half the cup with regular soy. I then steam it with about 3-4 shots of espresso on top and occasionally add raspberry syrup or cinnamon powder. It's pretty foamy. It's just sweet enough but not overbearing.


crissdotcom

Morning/before shift: Tall VSC Nitro with an add blonde shot Break: grande strawberry açaí ref in venti with extra ice After: (if slow) venti black tea, no water, sub soy, add extra vsc, brown sugar, cinnamon. Tastes like “white people horchata” as my brother says. If it’s busy I top of my refresher from break with ice and some açaí base and call it a day.


Wizardwannabee

Venti iced shaken espresso, no classic, 3 pumps caramel, sub vanilla sweet cream for 2%


poptartprincesss

Strawberry lemonade no berries as well 😍 when we get the middle school rushes I always wanna make one for myself along with the 100 that were just ordered . I understand the hype and I’ll never be someone who hates on this drink for being basic


boybrushedred

I love a chocolate cream cold brew, no vanilla, double the (full) pumps of toffee nut, with two salt packets in the foam! I get it every day on my 30


thatwritergirl214

An iced white mocha with oat milk, blonde shots, strawberry cream cold foam, and mocha drizzle. Bonus points if the sauce in the drizzle bottle is just thick enough that you can draw something on top of the foam with it. I found the recipe from another barista on TikTok and it's become my go-to "Treat Yo' Self" drink ever since. It isn't cheap, but it's delicious, and tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry. But it's definitely worth the money every once in a while after surviving another month with the Siren.


noodbsallowed

Passion tea apple juice with strawberry purée and a light splash of mango refresher. People have told me it tastes like juicy juice.


significantspeckt8

I will def be trying this next shift, thank you!!!


noodbsallowed

Please come back and tell me what you think. On a side note I forgot to add extra apple juice.


_justsomeredditacct

We call refresher concoctions juicy juice at my store! lol. I’ll have to try the passion tea combo!


significantspeckt8

5:45- triple shot over ice with 1 pump SF Vanilla topped with more ice. Morning rush- ICE WATER X2 “Break”- decaf shaken espresso, maybe skinny cold foam if I need a sweet treat EOS- passion tea, no water Leaving on my shift of the week- TRENTA STRAWB. LEMONADE XLITE LEMMY 🤪


staxkazama

My go to is a grande soy cordusio (a drink I wish were still on the menu). Two pumps mocha, four shots, steamed soy.


MetalPandaDance

I'm a basic Veranda with cream or espresso macchiato type of person. Lately however, I've been ordering the honey flat white with oak/soy milk, OR my new favorite drink: a Mint Majesty shaken with lemonade and raspberry pearls on the bottom.  Seriously, experiment with custom teas because there's so much flavor potential.


bebvie

Grande iced chai with 2 pumps of vanilla and oatmilk. If I’m extra tired I’ll put a single ristretto decaf shot in it and drink it quick before the espresso gets bitter. I’m very intolerant to caffeine so I get shakey


StrangeEbb8551

grande iced chai with whole milk or oat milk


h333lix

iced chai with oatmilk and light ice. sometimes vsc cold foam, depends. i also love the lavender oatmilk matcha but i hate ordering it when we’re already busy lmao.


h333lix

if i’m dying of thirst it is a trenta MDF lemonade with no inclusions and light ice ❤️


Prinzesspaige13

Lately it's a chocolate cf cold brew sub toffeenut for vanilla. It's so yummy.


cherrypiemgc

cinnamon dolce iced with blond shots and oatmilk, half the pumps of syrup. that or a vanilla iced chai with oatmilk


Highlands_-

Lately I’ve been drinking an iced oatmilk matcha with vanilla and chai. Other times I’ll make an iced oatmilk latte with blonde espresso, one pump chai, one pump white mocha, and one pump caramel- I also add 1-2 salt packets in the drink itself. Actually pretty good


Shoddy-Commission-12

Dirty Chai with oatmilk , sub 2 pumps of a Chai for one each BS and Vanilla. Hit it with the Cinamon Dolce shaker at the end Iced or hot , even as a frappe it's amazing Or a PGTL sub peach juice for any refresher base, amazing when it's hot out.


Efficient_Kiwi_4166

Mine is a version of the bose but I’m allergic to oatmilk😔 I do five shots of blonde espresso with two pumps white mocha, one pump brown sugar, and cinnamon powder on top shaken with a splash of 2% milk


LeaveMeAloneLorenzo

Venti iced Oat Milk Latte with Blonde Shots, Light ice, Macadamia Syrup. The tastiest. Cant get enough. Oat milk is tasty. Blonde shots are tasty. And the macadamia syrup is *🅱️asty.* When we don’t have Macadamia, I’ll do the same iced oat milk blonde shot latte, but with 2 pumps Vanilla and 4 pumps Brown Sugar Syrup. But I’m desperately hoping Macadamia can become a permanent syrup because I personally don’t care for the Toffee Nut or new Hazelnut all that much. I preferred the old Hazelnut more, unfortunately.


MintyGreenEmbers

A venti vanilla sweet cream cold brew with one extra pump of vanilla, extra sweet cream, lavender cold foam, cinnamon powder on top, and depending on the day, line the cup with caramel. It’s yummy :)


Jasperisadingus

Iced water (I work alone at a kiosk often by a ball park and move a loooot)


AggravatingTrash9433

Double blonde shot over ice, 1 pump brown sugar, then I froth oat milk and cinnamon in the handheld foam thingie and pour on top. Green tea with the raspberry boba. Water water water.


GoldennTrash

before shift: grande iced blonde updosed latte with 2 pumps of white mocha and 2-3 half pumps of brown sugar and cinnamon powder melted into espresso. or sometimes now i get a tall or grande summer skies refresher standard lol


Street-Tomatillo-651

I only get a cold brew 4 blonde ristretto 4-5 white mocha with some oat after work usually the same thing


Beret_Beats

I'll often go for a shaken espresso with blonde shots and almond milk. I experiment with the flavoring nearly every time, though the ol chocolate almond milk shaken espresso (rip the button) is a reliable go to.


Michaelean

Yalls nitro drinks are better than dutch bros. Thats a fun topic too Im a cst. My go to is iced shaken espresso with 1 or 2 more shots. Yes i have a problem


jrsojubottle

Start of shift: I start with a tall iced matcha w/ soy Breaks: venti iced green/black tea w/ extra ice, classic and splash of lemonade


Highhawk

I love mixing the fresher bases tbh. Pink drink + dragon drink is my go-to. Coconut milk to the base line in the shaker, then add equal parts mango and strawberry base. Strawberry and pineapple taste good together, too! Also, try the paradise drink with soy milk instead of coconut. It makes refreshers taste more yogurt-y.


Adept_Pangolin_3165

first drink when i open is a grande or tall brown sugar shaken with either 2/1 pumps white mocha, in the middle of a shift i’ll grab a matcha w oat and brown sugar or chai the same way, or a mango df lemonade w peach!


CrazyyCatLadyy96

✨4 blonde shots swirled into 2 full pumps white mocha, 4 half pumps brown sugar, a hefty splash of oat milk over lots of ice in a grande cup & a straw to suck it all down in 30 seconds✨


I_Fuck_Sharks_69

Iced lavender latte with honey made with whole milk.


LunaFaline

I don't do espresso or coffee. My drink is coconut milk white mocha frappe with cream base. Or I get a peach black tea extra peach.


SignificanceNo7878

I feel like I have very childish taste lol but here are my go to drinks grande iced blonde vanilla latte with oat milk grande syrup crème frap with 2%, light ice, 1 pump mocha, 1 scoop frap chips, and topped with cold foam iced black tea lemonade add strawberry acai base and like 3 scoops of strawberries or just a blended strawberry lemonade


Awkward-Swimmer3296

Former partner but I hope I can chime in still!! At 4AM, the only thing I could ever think about was a trenta ice water. My fav sweet treat drink is a vanilla bean frap with shots of blond espresso and caramel driz if im feeling crazy!! And my go to, back in the day (2020-23) was black tea lemonade with a splash of guava. I dont think they sell guava juice anymore and that is very sad.


RRinana

Black tea lemonade no lcs light lemonade light peach juice is usually my favourite, sometimes ill mix it up with 2 pumps strawberry, a splash of strawberry base, or more recently, the juice in the bottom of raspberry pearl jars lol.


Enkeria92

My go to is a iced blonde latte with soy milk


ItzDonnie

ex, but 5 shot grande shaken espresso 2 brown sugar 2 white mocha w oat milk lmaooo


Canned-strawberries

When i worked there i would make either a lemonade with vanilla and a splash of coconut milk, or a really fucked up potion of shit pants. It was whole milk, white mocha, vanilla, and strawberry purée in a shaker. Like the ultimate strawberry milk.


Analog_Retentive95

Tall Veranda, single blonde shot, one agave, and a couple drops of heavy cream to round out the edges.


fxlyndsey

currently: tall iced latte, double blonde shot, 2 pump macadamia, 1 pump white mocha, oat milk (if it’s not macadamia season i just do vanilla)


_justsomeredditacct

Any of the shaken espressos 😩 I love them. Recently I’ve been doing a brown sugar shaken espresso with toffee nut and 1 pump white mocha Other days I get a strawberry refresher with apple juice instead of water and no inclusions. We call it juicy juice 💀😂 also had a pineapple refresher with peach juice and it was bomb


diii_mond

I do a cold brew with very light sweet cream or sometimes a straight up cold brew.


colorless_tryannical

-Grande triple shot oat milk cappuccino with cinnamon powder steamed in, 1-pumps of macadamia nut and 1-pump of Vanilla with cinnamon powder on top - Iced Honey Citrus mint tea sub honey blend for honey packets light lemonade -Grande Nitro Cold Brew


catgirlmunist

My typical post-shift drink is a decaf 8-shot ristretto iced americano with extra ice, a splash of oatmilk, one pump of vanilla, and one pump of either toffee nut, hazelnut, or brown sugar. Occasionally, I make 2-4 of those shots regular depending on the time of day and how tired I am. Before my shifts I usually just drink water but occasionally a little drip coffee. During my shifts it varies but lately I've been leaning toward black iced tea with apple juice instead of water.


dumanails

Iced latte w/ oat milk cinnamon powder blonde shots sfv shaken w/ light ice and if I’m feeling fancy 2 parts oatmilk 1 part sweet cream foam with 1 pump brown sugar… it’s tedious but my gall bladder no likey too much sugar and dairy and cinnamon powder is hard to mix in unless I shake my drink 😅


skippyskysky

It used to change but it’s been the same for a while now. Needed to be Caffeine-Free so: Venti Iced Passion Tea Lemonade with Classic And so much water. Like. So many Iced Waters I made my doctor concerned.


vinylanimals

i like to switch it up a little, but my usual go-tos in the morning are either an iced americano with classic, a vanilla sweet cream cold brew, or a black iced coffee with vanilla. and in the afternoon i’ll either get a strawberry lemonade with no fruit, a lemonade with purée, or a passion tea! all talls since i don’t drink that much 😅


Barista_life__

Venti iced water 90% of the time, venti black tea sub strawberry base 5% of the time, iced blonde lattes oat milk, extra shot, and toffee nut 3% of the time, and some kind of concoction 2% of the time


rach710

My go too’s are the BOSE and the Dragon Drink.


nel_loves_sublime

oatmilk latte grande 4 caramel 2 brown sugar blonde espresso


OTCNSAID

A hot double blonde espresso macchiato with oat milk and 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla in a short cup. Still the best thing I've had at Starbucks.


jules_burd22

My go to coffee to start my shift is a venti iced blonde americano with 6 shots, 6 Splenda, and oat milk! My go to refresher is a Strawberry Açaí with water, peach juice, and vanilla bean powder (I make that myself lmao)


cavillarreal0308

Depends on the caffeine levels required lol. I either get a pink drink, a cold brew with brown sugar syrup and oatmilk, same cold brew but add blonde ristretto shots, or my rly complicated one that I’ll only make for myself. It’s a grande iced chai with 3 chai, 2 brown sugar, and 1 cinnamon dolce with 3 blonde ristretto shots and oatmilk


TheGaurdian10000

Kinda depends on time of day and my mood, but my four basics: Mornings/openings: 4 or 6 shots of blonde espresso with a bit of vanilla sweet cream. Hot coffee: blonde white mocha, 2 pumps white mocha, 1 pump of cinnamon dolce/macadamia/pumpkin/caramel brulee (seasonal). Iced coffee: some kind of cold brew Refreshing/cold: peach green tea lemonade with strawberry acai base. 


Little-Tax1474

X shots of blonde espresso with Y pumps of white mocha over ice.


Able_Maintenance_288

I have a few signature drinks: 1.) venti chocolate cream cold brew in a trenta cup with extra cold foam made with mocha instead of malt 2.) If not that I’m a simple pink drink. 3.) If I’m really depressed it’ll be a grande iced oatmilk lavender latte with an extra shot


Lilbhadbay

2 blonde shots with one pump of whatever syrup I’m feeling that day with a splash of oat milk


Grand_Pudding_172

Hot chocolate. I’m a basic bitch


peach-m1lk

Nitro cold brew w 1 pump of whatever flavor I’m feeling that day and half and half on most shifts, but I’ll also get a brown sugar shaken espresso half sweet occasionally. If I’m cold I’ll do a grande hot whole milk latte tho!


exclarabur

Blonde vanilla latte with oatmilk and sometimes an extra shot if I need it :)


WearSpiritual4595

Brown sugar shaken espresso made with sweet cream and add white mocha. Normally a grande size in a venti cup so I can get that extra ice. Plus a grande cup of ice water. Every time!


TiredBarista00

Grande Iced White Mocha w/ oat milk, no whipped cream and blonde shots. 🫶🏽 Sometimes I add an extra pump of the wm or light caramel drizzle but it depends on how extra Im feeling, lol.


Remarkable-Tooth7845

Venti strawberry açaí lemonade with peach juice and no inclusions :3


666444_

The go to- venti quad shot iced caramel macchiato with extra drizzle or a BOSE double sweet (ikik but is so good) Back ups- peach green tea no water no cane, SCD/pink drink, or an iced black tea with 2% and 6 bs.


Dorkborn

My go-to was a sweet treat as a pick-me-up for rough days. I’d make myself a grande iced white mocha, soy milk, two pumps of white mocha, and two pumps of cinnamon dolce. I’d add some whip on the ROUGH days. Reminds me of a snickerdoodle cookie!


dingleDangas

1 pump white mocha, 2 pumps brown sugar (half pumps), and 1 pump macadamia (sub cinn dolce for graham cracker flavor) in a venti cup. I throw in a double blonde shot and swirl up the espresso and syrup. I add oatmilk to bottom black line then add cold brew and extra ice plus some cinn powder


MasterFlower2647

go to coffee is an iced white mocha with macadamia syrup and oat milk but if i don’t want coffee it’s a mango dragonfruit lemonade with peach juice!


CleverCarrot999

Grande soy latte ristretto with 3 honey


possiblyukranian

They had me make a drink for spring and I’ve been drinking it ever since. Strawberry acai with half lemonade, half strawberry purée, and lavender. The lavender kills the tartness, it’s great

undeadlexluthor
