New Jersey Is Loving Starbucks' New Summer Menu

I'm usually a pretty simple coffee drinker. Give me a large regular coffee with a little French vanilla cream to sweeten it up, and I'm happy.

I've never really been a big iced coffee or refresher person, but that may have just changed with these new summer drinks you can get at Starbucks now for a limited time.

I just saw a picture of this new refresher on Instagram, and it looks so colorful, refreshing, and fun. It's the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher, and it's all part of Starbucks' NEW summer menu!

Tropical Flavors Take Center Stage In Starbucks' New Drink

Even though I'm not normally someone who branches out from my usual coffee order, this new drink might be worth trying at least once.

It looks delicious and definitely gives off those fun, warm-weather summer vibes.

According to Starbucks, the Tropical Butterfly Refresher features guava and passionfruit flavors and bursts of mango-pineapple flavored pearls. The drink is finished off with a splash of butterfly pea flower infusion, creating the colors of the drink, USA Today reports.

You can also try the NEW Horchata Frappuccino blended beverage and the return of the Iced Horchata Shaken Espresso.

I'm still stuck on the banana bread coffee at Wawa because it's just that good, but these new summer drinks at Starbucks may have convinced me to switch things up a little bit!

When it comes to food, New Jersey is known for many things such as pizza and pork roll. Don't count us out when it comes to coffee.

With all the hustle and bustle involved in the average New Jersey resident's day, coffee is essential. It doesn't matter whether you're living in the cities of North Jersey or the vacation spots at the shore.

In fact, as the former owner of two Jersey shore coffee houses, Coffee Dot Comedy in Sea Isle City and the Daily Grind in Ocean Grove, I know firsthand how much people at the Jersey shore love their coffee.

With respect to that, I asked my social media following where the best coffee houses at the Jersey Shore were, especially since my two places no longer exist.

Below is what they came up with. (And see this other article for their coffee shop and cafe recommendations for Central Jersey.)
