With Spring coming and going at the drop of a hat, we all need motivation and hope that warmer temperatures will come. Starbucks usually features a drink for a short amount of time, but you can hack the menu and create your own special Drinks. Here are some orders to use as inspiration for your own springtime drinks.
Cherry Blossom Frappuccino

- Line your cup with white mocha sauce and matcha powder
- Fill with strawberries and creme frappuccino
- Top with whipped cream and matcha powder
While there is no flavor of cherry, in Japan the blossoming of the tree symbolizes new beginnings, so the name comes more from the nature of the trees rather than the flavor.

Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher
- Green coffee extract and Hibiscus syrup over ice.
- Add frozen blackberries and water, shake.
- Coconut milk instead of water
Another iced drink that has less of a thick texture. This drinks color is a little darker than the iconic pink drink and the blackberries add to the deeper coloring.

This is another tea that has the sweetness of spring but also the refreshing taste of green tea. The lime and berries will add some color to your drink so it's pretty to look at too.
