FAQ'S
Frequently asked questions about Starbucks Paradise drink recipe.
What is the difference between pineapple refresher and paradise drink?
The pineapple refresher is made with lemonade and has a very sweet taste to it. The paradise drink is the same drink, with coconut milk added to it to give a more creamy taste.
Can I make this drink with green tea?
Yes! If you want your drink with caffeine you can easily add green tea to it. Use either unsweetened store bought, or brewed and cooled green tea at home and add it along with the other ingredients right to your glass. I would use about ½ cup green tea for this recipe.
Can I make this drink with sweet cold foam?
Yes! If you've been seeing the new refreshers with cold foam, it is so easy to replicate at home! Just make a batch of cold foam, and pour it right on top of your refresher, make sure to leave about 1 inch of room in your glass.
