How to make Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher at home – Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher Copycat Recipe

Kai Jordan

Chop the mint leaves into fine pieces and dice about ¾ of the cucumber then put them in the container.
Add about 2 cups of water in the container and shake well with the container covered, then leave the mixture for 10 minutes to allow the juices to extract into the water. You can even place it in the fridge.
Strain the water to remove the mint and cucumber.
Cut two limes and squeeze the lime juice into the water, over the strainer.
Add sugar to the refresher and stir well. This is where you add the grape juice and the green coffee extract powder if you want some caffeine.
Put the ice in the glass and pour your lime refresher over the ice.
Garnish with lime & cucumber slices. You can also top it off with some whole mint leaves.
Let the beverage sit for about 3 minutes to allow the flavors to mix naturally.
Enjoy your Cool Lime drink!

The Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher VIA Instant will lessen the process for you by half because it already has most of the ingredients in itself. You can get one at most Starbucks stores and one packet will be enough for a full glass.
I use sugar but you can use Stevia extract powder or make a simple syrup for sweetening. Just heat equal quantities of sugar and water while stirring until the sugar dissolves. Wait for it to cool down then you can use it. I personally don’t mind the sugar but you can cut some calories by using the alternatives.
You can also use limeade or lemonade in place of freshly squeezed lime juice. I just like mine crisp and fresh from the fruit).
Apple juice can also substitute for grape juice. The color of your drink may be deeper but the resulting refreshment is pretty much similar to the original Cool Lime.
