Do additions and customizations affect the price of your Venti drink?

Well, yes and no. When you make a Starbucks order, certain additions and customizations affect the total price of your drink. For instance, Starbucks will charge extra if you want almond, soy, coconut, or oat milk in a refresher that usually does not have the said milk. However, if the type of milk you want to be added to your drink is already an ingredient, you can ask for an extra splash of the said milk at no additional cost.

In most instances, an extra pump of syrup or sweetener will not cost you extra. Sauces, however, are charged separately, and any pumps of added sauce will be charged. Toppings such as spices are normally not charged, meaning that if you ask for a sprinkle of cinnamon powder on a refresher, the price of the drink will remain the same.

Do additions and customizations affect the calories in your Venti drink?

Yes, they do, but not all of them. Additions such as an extra pump of syrup, milk, whipped or heavy cream, and others that have a particular calorie count will affect the overall number of calories in your drink.

However, certain additions do not affect the calories you consume. Some of these include extra ice, water, an extra shot of espresso or cold brew, and sugar-free syrup. These will enhance the taste of your drink but will leave the calorie count intact.

Final Thoughts

Starbucks refreshers come in many flavors and taste profiles, mainly because of the ingredients used to make the drink. Seeing as the said ingredients have different components, they, as a result, affect the overall price and calorie count of the drink you purchase. The price and calories can also change because of additions and customizations, so it is good to ask the barista for the extra costs and calories as you order.
