I made an easy Starbucks DIY recipe is your perfect summer days, try this Copycat Starbucks Cool Lime Refresher. It’s only 50 calories (16 0z), refreshing and cooling for those hot summer days. If I ever order a frapp, it’s always a Vanilla Bean as it has the least calories and it doesn’t really have a strong coffee taste, and my son loves it! I almost always get a Cool Lime Refresher or Passion Tea Sweetened. This would be perfect for a summer get together, a nice drink to freshen up your guest.
CopyCat Starbucks Lime Refresher Copycat Recipe

- 1/4 cup cup mint leaves, chopped finely (use just a sprinkle)
- 1 cup peeled and sliced cucumber (optional and refreshing!)
