Refreshers

Starbucks is testing carbonated versions of its Refreshers drinks, called Spritzers, in select markets to drive growth. The non-coffee beverages, which include flavors like coffee and citrus or strawberry matcha, aim to attract younger customers and boost afternoon sales.

Dunkin’s 48-oz. coffee buckets have returned with a portability upgrade, allowing customers to fill them with iced coffee or Refresher beverages.

McDonald's is expanding its cold beverage menu to include refreshers and crafted sodas starting nationwide in May. The company also plans to introduce energy drinks later this year as part of its beverage strategy.
