If you frequent coffee houses and shops for your coffee, tea, refreshers, or snacks, you have seen a green drink at some point. So, does Starbucks have green drinks? Read on to find out.

Yes, Starbucks does offer green drinks to customers. Some of these drinks are teas, refreshers, and even Frappuccinos. I have always found Starbucks drinks intriguing, especially those that tend to deviate from the norm with their unique ingredients, colors, and flavors. For this reason, I have tried out different items from the menu, based on these parameters. Green drinks are some of my favorites, and my daughter has taken to joining this little hobby of mine. If you want to go green at Starbucks and are wondering where to start, here is a breakdown of some of our favorite green drinks, what they are made of, and how to order them.

What are some green drinks at Starbucks?

Matcha Tea Latte

If green tea is well, your cup of tea, then you are going to enjoy this drink which contains matcha powder. Matcha is powdered green tea known for loads of health benefits. This drink is made by combining 2% milk with sweetened matcha and ice. Because of the green matcha powder used to make the drink, the matcha tea latte has a grassy and earthy flavor to it.

To order this drink, ask the barista for a green matcha latte with 2% milk, vanilla syrup or classic syrup, and ice. You can also request to have it sweetened with sugar instead of syrup.

Iced Matcha Lemonade

This drink is excellent for persons who do not like to have milk in their matcha beverage. It is earthy but also vibrant, thanks to the lemonade. It is made just like the matcha tea latte, but instead of 2% milk, the barista uses lemonade. In most instances, the lemonade is already sweetened, meaning that the drink does not need extra sweetener.

To order this drink, ask the barista for a Grande iced matcha lemonade.

Matcha Crème Frappuccino

This drink is pretty adventurous because it combines both matcha and coffee flavors in the same cup. It is a creamy drink that has a velvet consistency. To make this drink, the barista combines whole milk with a matcha tea blend. It is then sweetened with classic syrup and crème Frappuccino syrup for the characteristic coffee flavor. The drink is then topped with whipped cream.

To order this drink, ask the barista for a Grande matcha crème Frappuccino with whole milk, three scoops of matcha blend, one pump of crème Frappuccino syrup, and three pumps of classic or vanilla syrup, all served over ice.

Star Drink

This green drink does not contain any matcha powder. It is a drink that combines two fruit concentrates; starfruit and kiwi. The star drink is made by combining starfruit and kiwi-flavored juice with coconut milk. The drink is then shaken with ice and is then topped with freeze-dried kiwi chunks.

To order this drink, simply ask the barista for a Grande star drink with regular, lite, or extra ice.

Kiwi Starfruit Refresher

This is an easy favorite for me because it does not have the heaviness of the star drink. The Kiwi Starfruit refresher is made just like the Star drink, but the refresher does not contain any coconut milk. It contains starfruit and kiwi-flavored juice and ice. It also comes with freeze-dried chunks of kiwi fruit.

To order this drink, ask the barista for the kiwi starfruit refresher with ice. You can also ask for lite or extra ice depending on how much you want.

Kiwi Starfruit Lemonade Refresher

If you are looking to have a light but vibrant drink, this will make an excellent match for you. The lemonade makes the flavor a little sharper. To make the Kiwi Starfruit Lemonade Refresher, the barista combines the starfruit and kiwi-flavored juice with lemonade, and it is served over ice.

Since it is not on the Starbucks menu, you have to specify the ingredients you want. Ask the barista for a kiwi starfruit refresher with lemonade, and you can request lite or extra ice with it.

Lucky Leprechaun Frappuccino

This is one of my favorite secret menu drinks. It is creamy and minty, making it a delectable treat. The drink is made by combining a green tea Frappuccino with peppermint syrup for the minty flavor and then topping the drink with whipped cream. To finish it off, the barista sprinkles caramel crunchies on top of the drink.

Starbucks Green Drink

One of the characteristics that set this drink apart from a Matcha Tea Latte is the fact that it is made using black tea and coconut milk. To make it, the barista combines a shaken iced black tea with coconut milk and matcha powder. It is sweetened using classic syrup or vanilla syrup.

To order this drink, ask the barista for an iced shaken black tea with coconut milk and matcha powder, sweetened with vanilla or classic syrup.

Baby Yoda Frappuccino

This drink is an elevated version of the matcha green tea Frappuccino. It is a delectable treat that is creamy and sweet. To make the Baby Yoda Frappuccino, the barista drizzles caramel syrup all around an empty cup (to form baby Yoda’s cloak) and then proceeds to add the matcha green tea Frappuccino. The drink is then topped with whipped cream, a caramel ribbon crunch, and caramel.

To order this drink, ask the barista for a Baby Yoda Frappuccino, but you can be specific with the toppings if you want them altered.

Shamrock Frappuccino

The Shamrock Frappuccino is minty and creamy, and it is made by combining a vanilla bean Frappuccino with matcha powder. The drink is then sweetened using peppermint and classic syrups, then it is topped with a good helping of whipped cream.

To order this drink, ask the barista for a vanilla bean Frappuccino with matcha powder and whipped cream.

Grinch Drink

The Grinch drink is identical to the Shamrock Frappuccino, but it has something of a twist. It is made using vanilla bean Frappuccino with matcha powder and whipped cream, then it is topped with freeze-dried strawberries for that extra crunch.
