Allegedly, starting today May 9th, Starbucks will charge extra when you order one of their Refresher options with less water or without ice.
This comes with the explanation that in the case aforementioned, the concerned drinks take up more base ingredients (fruit juice concentrate and natural flavor) in order to be made. Which bothers customers and baristas that are about to face them.
As things are at the moment, for any customization request on your orders from today, May 9th onwards, you can expect to be charged an additional $1 for no water or ice, or 60¢ for a little water or ice in your Starbucks Refresher.
After the already made changes to the Starbucks Rewards system, this comes as a second hit on the loyal customers’ pocket, which provokes urge for finding alternative solutions to their favorite drinks.

Wow!! This is insane
Starbucks is so greedy lol. Their rewards arenât good, everything is more expensive⌠best to make coffee at home or support local coffee shops.
Just left Starbuck and there was no charge for âno iceâ the charge is if you ask do no water
Hey Kiandria! All of this news is alleged, so it may also vary per location. Thank you for sharing that though!
I always ask for Light Ice. WowâŚ
Yea Iâm about to just make my drinks at home at this point. Itâs better anyways they have a lot of unnecessary ingredients
Sheesh. All these changes. Thankfully, I mostly get starbucks when I receive gift cards lol.
I canât remember the last time I bought Starbucks. Letâs keep it that way
Once I asked them for no ice because my teeth are sensitive to ice and I told the reason. The barista said this the only way they can make it so that was my last time. I always make at home with no ice any kind of drink. She gave me a reason to not even try to get a drink from there anymore
