Sour Gummy Worm Refresher: (Ingredients, Taste, Variations, Sizes, Caffeine, Calories)

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

A sour gummy worm refresher is simply made with Valencia orange refresher, peach syrup, and raspberry syrup. This modification intensifies the taste of berries and adds a peach twist to it. Some people opt to ask for a strawberry acai refresher in the place of a Valencia orange refresher. The bottom line is having a good drink made to your preference. Let’s see what these ingredients are all about.

Valencia Orange refresher: This is one of the simplest refreshers at Starbucks. This acts as the base drink while ordering the sour gummy worm refresher. It is made with real orange juice and lemon iced tea. It is sweet and hints of lemon sourness if you don’t over-sweeten it.

Raspberry syrup: This is a simple mixture of raspberries and sugar. It is ideal for that berrylicious taste in any drink.

Peach syrup: Spring is the peach season and a good time to add these sweet fruits to almost everything. The peach syrup is also made with ripe peaches and sugar. It can be homemade or purchased in stores.
