Craving an appetizing, yet refreshing drink during the sunny hot summer days?
I got the perfect drink for you, Violet drink Starbucks. One of Starbucks’ best drinks. I mean, who doesn’t love its vibrant violet color, a result of a mix of both blackberries and hibiscus tea along with the coconut milk.

With this recipe, you can make your own healthy version of the signature Starbucks violet drink with a much cheaper price and perfect result. Don’t forget that it’s a dairy-free drink, perfect for all the lactose-intolerant people out there!

Some important tips:

  • In case of using green coffee beans, you have to remove the capsules and use the powder inside. You can eliminate the green coffee beans altogether if you prefer a decaffeinated drink.
  • It need to be served immediately before the separation of the coconut milk from the tea.
  • The ratio between the hibiscus and the coconut milk affects the color of the drink. For more purple color, mix in blueberry juice.

Frequently asked questions:

Does the violent drink taste good?

Its taste is definitely balanced, between the sweetness and light texture of the drink itself. Certainly not sour or disagreeable like some of the other refreshers.

Amount of caffeine in this drink?

It has less caffeine in comparison to other refreshers, which usually have about 55mg of caffeine. This one with green coffee beans contains about 45 mg.

Theoretically, it’s not the healthiest drink out there, but it’s still considered somehow healthy, as its base is basically hibiscus mixed with vitamin C, green coffee beans and a little sugar. It does contain saturated fats in the coconut milk, but it’s also rich in Vitamin A and D.
