How to make drinks at Starbucks

Refreshers at Starbucks
I have tried both the Cool Lime and also the Very Berry Hibiscus Refreshers at Starbucks. They are both very interesting tastes to them. Both wake you up right when you take your first taste. As much as I enjoy the sweetness of the Very Berry Hibiscus I prefer the Cool Lime because it is much crisper.
Very Berry Hibiscus:
Perks:
Get blackberries in drink
Sweet
Cons:
Needs more berries.
Cool Lime:
Perks:
Crisper
Not as sweet.
Cons:
Little bitter after each sip.
