Starbucks Energy Refreshers and Energy Drinks Right Now

The prices on the cards are delivery-app "from" prices. They start at $6.55 for the plain fruit versions and $6.95 for the lemonade and coconutmilk ones, and in-store prices differ.
Which one is the Starbucks best energy drink for you? Pick by taste, because the caffeine is the same across flavors. Choose lemonade versions if you like tart, coconutmilk versions if you like creamy, and the plain fruit ones for the lightest, sweetest sip.
If you want the same flavors without the lift, see the regular Refreshers without the energy boost. For the rest of the cold drinks, there is a guide to all Starbucks drink families.
Pink, Dragon and Mango Energy Drinks: How They Differ
The named Energy Drinks all use coconutmilk instead of water or lemonade. Pink Energy Drink is strawberry and coconutmilk, Dragon Energy Drink is mango and dragonfruit, and Mango Dream mixes mango and strawberry.
The two Cannon Ball drinks are a different build. Both stack the Strawberry Açaí and Mango Dragonfruit Refreshers with fruit pieces for an ombre look. The standard one is tart and lemonade based, and the Pink version swaps in coconutmilk. Starbucks tied the Cannon Ball Energy Drink to the Cannon Ball Challenge from Beast Games.
Blended Energy Refreshers and Frozen Flavors
The delivery listing for this site shows no blended Energy Refreshers. Starbucks has run frozen lemonade Refreshers as limited-time summer drinks, so a blended energy flavor can appear and disappear.
If you spot one in the app, check its caffeine line before you order. Frozen drinks are not always built like the shaken ones.
Starbucks Caffeine Content by Drink Family
Caffeine moves with the cup size for brewed coffee and cold brew, but espresso drinks stay flat once you hit two shots. The table below uses grande figures from published caffeine charts, so treat them as close estimates and check the app for your exact order.
Starbucks Caffeine Content by Drink Family
| Drink family | Grande caffeine, approx. |
|---|---|
| Espresso shot (signature) | 75 mg per shot |
| Brewed Pike Place Roast | 310 mg |
| Cold Brew | 205 mg |
| Nitro Cold Brew | 280 mg |
| Coffee Frappuccino | 90 to 95 mg |
| Classic Refresher | 50 mg |
| Energy Refresher | 125 mg |
| Matcha Latte | 80 mg |
| Chai Tea Latte | 95 mg |
| Decaf brewed coffee | 25 mg |
| Baya Energy (12 oz can) | 160 mg |
For the blended drinks, the Frappuccino blended drinks page has the lineup, and the caffeine there depends on whether the base is coffee or creme.
Caffeine in Double Espresso: Starbucks Doppio Math
A double espresso, also called a doppio, holds about 150 mg of caffeine with the signature roast. Each shot is about 75 mg, so two shots double it.
Blonde Espresso runs a little higher, near 85 mg a shot, or about 170 mg for a double. That is why a grande latte and a venti hot latte share the same caffeine: both use two shots. See the espresso and brewed coffee options for the full list.
