Brief History of the drink

I first tasted this refresher drink on our first date on Valentine’s day. My partner asked the barista what special Refresher they could recommend, and voila! We were in Love.

So what exactly is the Starbucks Love on the Rocks Refresher?

The Starbucks Love on the Rocks drink is a fruity iced smoothy-like tea commonly enjoyed during valentines season. It originated in the US when Starbucks lovers wanted all the red and pink drinks they could have during Valentine’s season.

At first, this drink was prepared using Very Berry Hibiscus refresher as its base drink. This had always been one of my favorite refreshers, so when it was discontinued, I was broken. I had lost two of my best drinks at once; the Very Berry Hibiscus and the Love on the Rocks.

While perusing social media, I read another way to order the Love on the Rocks drink. Social media was abuzz with the new recipe. Since then, it has become a sensation during Valentine’s season and all year long.

Ingredients

Ice
Tazo passion tea bag
Water
Non-fat milk
Vanilla syrup

Instructions

First, place water in your kettle and let it boil.
Once done, keep the passion tea bag in your water, and allow it to mix well.
Now put the ice into your cocktail shaker, pour the passion tea and shake vigorously.
In your big cup, pour in the iced passion tea and add the raspberry syrup. You will also include coconut milk and strawberry puree.
For a final touch, add the milk and vanilla syrup in a blender and blend till frothy and creamy. This will be your cold foam to add on top of your drink.

Notes

When I first tried this drink, I used 2 tea bags for one serving, It was not as good as using 1 teabag. Therefore, it would be good to stick to a teabag per serving.
Because you are preparing iced tea, boiling your water to completion would be a waste of time and electricity. Simmered water will do just fine.
Simple syrup is the best sweetener to use for iced drinks. For this case, put sugar and water in a saucepan and let it simmer on low heat as you stir until the sugar dissolves. Then let it cool. Although unsweetened passion tea is usually what is used at Starbucks, if you wish to sweeten your refresher drink, then this simple syrup will do.
