Lemonade Drinks at Starbucks
Sweet and tart, lemonade is delicious on its own or when added to other drinks on the Starbucks menu. It’s an easy way to add a fruity, sweet addition to drinks.
The lemonade at Starbucks is made from a concentrate that gets diluted with triple filtered water.
You can’t buy the lemonade concentrate anywhere since it’s by Starbucks and they don’t sell it.

Tips for Ordering Lemonade Drinks
- Lemonade is great in iced AND hot teas. Try steamed lemonade in hot teas like Mint Majesty, Peach Tranquility, or Jade Citrus Mint.
- Add lemonade to a Cold Brew. This is a twist on the Italian tradition of serving lemon wedges with espresso.
- Lemonade and strawberry puree are a great pairing. Ask for a couple of pumps of strawberry shaken into your next lemonade.
- Lemonade shaken with apple juice is a refreshing sweet treat and comes in kids size too.
- If you find the lemonade a little too tart, order it with extra water.
- For secret menu drinks, it’s best to order it in-person, and during a time when they’re not so busy. Tipping is always appreciated by the baristas.

Questions You May Have
Some think it tastes like Minute Maid or Simply Lemonade, but Starbucks uses their own lemonade concentrate made of water, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon oil.
Order the lemonade with a couple of pumps of liquid sweetener like cane sugar or Classic syrup to make it sweeter.
Although there’s no pink lemonade on the menu, you can customize a drink that’s similar in color. Order a lemonade and add raspberry syrup or strawberry puree.
There isn’t a regular blended lemonade at Starbucks but you can order it by asking for the lemonade to be double blended. They’ll take the lemonade and ice and blend it to create a slushy, frozen lemonade drink.
