Starbucks Secret Menu: Sour Gummy Worm Refresher (Taste, Ingredients, Caffeine, Calories, Copycat Recipe & More information)

Make your favorite Starbucks Sour Gummy Worm Refresher at home and save money. Read on for a simple recipe and a drink that tastes just as good as Starbucks.

I went to Starbucks the other day looking for the sour gummy worm refresher and couldn’t believe they didn’t have the base drink I’d used years ago. So I scoured the internet and discovered I could still get it using other ingredients. This made me also search for how I could make it at home, and I found an easy recipe that I can’t wait to share. But before I do, let’s review some interesting facts about the Starbucks Sour Gummy Worm refresher.

Brief History Of The Drink.

Like many Secret Menu beverages, the Starbucks Sour Gummy Worm Refresher originated on TikTok. The original version had Valencia Orange Refresher as the base drink, but when it was discontinued in 2015, fans began using Iced Tango Passion Tea Lemonade instead. You will also not get peach syrup, so you will use peach juice blend in its place. I dare to say that I prefer this version to the original because of the stronger tangy sensation. I had my partner try it without disclosing what it was, and as you can imagine, it did not take much guesswork to get the name right.

Starbucks Sour Gummy Worm Refresher Overview

What’s in a Starbucks Sour Gummy Worm Refresher? (Ingredients)

So, besides the Iced Tango Passion Tea Lemonade, this secret menu drink has two other ingredients: raspberry syrup and peach juice blend.

Iced Passion Tea Lemonade: According to Starbucks, their Passion tea lemonade has ice, lemonade, and an infusion of hibiscus flowers, water, citric acid, and natural flavors: apple, cinnamon, licorice root, fruit juice extract, and lemongrass. You can easily replicate this by steeping two Tazo Passion teabags in 16  ounces of water, then adding 4 ounces of lemonade. Top with ice, and voila! You have your iced passion tea lemonade.

• Raspberry syrup: I like to use Torani raspberry syrup for my iced teas, as I find it to have the taste closest to Starbucks.
• Peach juice blend: You can use any 100 percent peach juice blend, such as Ceres, from Walmart or get it on Amazon.

Sour Gummy Worm Refresher: Sizes, nutrition, Caffeine & Calories

What Sizes Are Available

At Starbucks, you can choose one of four sizes for a refresher: a tall (12 ounces) cup, a Grande (16 ounces)cup, a venti (24 ounces) cup, or a Trenta (30 ounces) cup. I always go for a tall cup whenever I try a drink. And if I liked it, I could order more, and you should too, especially if you are trying to regulate your sugar intake. For this Refresher, the Grande is my to-go size.

Nutritional Facts

Starbucks’ sour gummy worm refresher contains approximately 110 calories for every 16-ounce serving. At 27 grams of carbs per cup, this beverage makes for an excellent low-carb beverage if you want to stay fit. This Refresher has no cholesterol. It is also low on sugar, with just 26 grams, which translates to 52 percent of the required daily intake on a 2,000-calorie diet, which is relatively low by Starbucks’ standards. I would describe this as healthy. From the passion tea lemonade base and peach juice, you get the benefits of fruits that are high in vitamins and immunity boosters. This drink’s flavor is out of this world.
