Refreshers and slushies are fun and a refreshing treat that many people enjoy. The term “Refreshers” usually refers to fruit-flavored, caffeinated beverages. At Starbucks, refreshers have base flavors, mix-ins, and can come in frozen varieties. Dunkin Donuts offers refreshers in delectable flavors like: Strawberry Dragonfruit, Mango Pineapple, Peach Passion Fruit, Blueberry Breeze, and Berry Sangria. They often have other limited flavors, which sometimes involve celebrity promotions. Starbucks offers top-notch fruit flavors such as: Strawberry Açaí, Mango Dragonfruit, and Pineapple Passionfruit. They can be mixed with water, lemonade, or coconut milk. The famed Pink Drink is a timeless fan favorite. This drink is made of a Strawberry Açaí base with coconut milk and freeze dried strawberries! Another popular flavor, that is offered strictly during the summer is, the Summer Berry flavor. This drink is said to taste like a blue Jolly Rancher or a melted Berry Popsicle, which pairs well with the summer vibes!  

These delicious drinks pair very nicely with cake pops, other fun desserts, and breakfast sandwiches. You Me Oui has awesome unusual flavors of refreshers available. These include the Butterfly refresher, the Lavender refresher, and Lavender Lemonade. Dairy Queen offers Misty Slushes and Misty Freezes. Coolattas are similar to refreshers, they are a timeless treat from Dunkin’. Now, I will rank these fun treats!
