Starbucks Pink Drink: Sizes, Nutrition, Caffeine & Calories

What Sizes Are Available?

Usually, the pink drink is available in four sizes: Tall (12 fl oz), Grande (16 fl oz), Venti (24 fl oz), and Trenta 930 fl oz). On a regular day, I go for a Grande size drink. However, when you feel hot, a Venti is what you need. If you are looking to share the drink with a partner as you stroll, I recommend going for the Trenta size.
