Buy your own Reusable Starbucks Tumblers
You can drop by your local Walmart, to find these cool Starbucks Tumblers at nearly half the retail price when purchasing directly from the Starbucks cafe. When I checked my local Starbucks cafe, they were ringing up anywhere from $20-$30 depending on the style and size. Here are a few styles of tumblers that I spotted at my local Walmart. Costco has the double pack of the white styled bottle for $14.99 and it comes with an Instant Coffee mix, so if you’re a member, you can score an even better deal.

This recipe is very sweet. I doubled the water just to drink it. Made it with the half packet of crystal light. Made it again with part crystal light part mango juice – much more palatable but again added more water. You also won’t get the Starbucks color – the taste and color resemble a fruit punch rather than dragon fruit. After trying this recipe I just dove in and bought the actual ingredients instead. Thanks for the effort trying to make up this recipe.
Thanks! I also had a friend try it with mango juice and chunks of dragon fruit (gives it the actual color) and they loved it! This is my quick on the go flavor 🥰
