According to Starbucks, the new drinks provide "something refreshing, yet balanced" and "calm and comforting" for the colder winter months. They also latch onto a popular trend (pairing berries with herbs) in cocktails and mocktails.
The Blackberry Sage Refresher features the flavors of sweet blackberries and notes of sage shaken with ice, green coffee extract, dried blackberries, and sage powder. The Blackberry Sage Lemonade Refresher is the same but with lemonade added to the mix. On a side note, it looks like Starbucks has simplified the name of its Refreshers line to just "Refresher" from "Starbucks Refreshers Beverage".
Similarly, the Midnight Drink takes the Blackberry Sage Refresher and mixes in some coconut milk.
The trios of drinks are available now in the US and Canada for a limited time.
