Starbucks Pink Drink with Chocolate Cold Foam
Starbucks Pink Drink with Chocolate Cold Foam is a layered Refreshers beverage that tops a strawberry flavored Pink Drink with creamy chocolate cold foam.
The drink’s secret menu name is the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Drink.
For obvious reasons, drink orders for this customized Pink Drink spike during Valentine’s Day. But you can get it anytime of year.
And let me tell you, it’s a thing of beauty. So much so that quite a few people stopped and asked me, “what is that drink?” when I was sipping on it.
Perhaps Starbucks should add a Chocolate Cream Pink Drink to the official menu.
What the Pink Drink with Chocolate Tastes Like
If you love chocolate and strawberries, then you’ll love the Starbucks Pink Drink topped with mocha cold foam.
Each creamy sip is rich and chocolaty combined with a refreshing fruitiness.
To me the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pink Drink tastes like melted Neapolitan ice cream (the one with strawberry, chocolate and vanilla).
And let me tell you this drink is absolutely delicious.
It’s served with a lid made for cold-foam-topped beverages. This way you can get a mouthful of everything the drink has to offer.
What’s in this Modified Pink Drink
This drink is simply a Pink Drink that is customized with chocolate cream. Here’s exactly what’s in it.
Pink Drink
A Starbucks Pink Drink is a creamy version of one of the most popular refreshers at Starbucks, the Strawberry Acai Refresher. This iced beverage combines strawberry acai juice with creamy coconut milk and a scoop of real strawberries.
Baristas shake together these four ingredients to make it: ice, strawberry acai base, coconutmilk and freeze-dried strawberries.
Chocolate Cold Foam
Chocolate cold foam at Starbucks is simply vanilla sweet cream cold foam that has chocolate malt powder blended into it.
The regular vanilla sweet cream itself contains heavy cream, milk and vanilla syrup.
Baristas add a scoop of chocolate powder to the vanilla cream and turn it into chocolate cold foam using a special blender.
The cold foam is thick enough to sit on top of cold beverages, but thin enough to slowly cascade into the drink.
How to Order the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pink Drink
There are two ways to order Starbucks drinks: from the barista and with the Starbucks app.
