Starbucks to sell Pink Drink RTD version in grocery stores soon

Starbucks just created a bottled version of its popular beverage called the Pink Drink. The coffee chain is set to release this new product as Ready-to-Drink (RTD) product that will soon be in grocery stores across the United States.

Aside from the Pink Drink, Starbucks is also releasing other RTD beverages, which will include Frappuccino Minis. Most of the ready-to-drink items are bestsellers, and customers will be happy to know that they can buy them at the nearest grocery locations soon.

One of the store favorites at Starbucks stores is Pink Drink, the bubble gum-colored beverage that was originally created by a fan in 2016. A year after it went viral, the company decided to add it to its drinks lineup and was introduced as the Pink Drink Starbucks Refreshers Beverage.

Now, Starbucks has just announced that both the Paradise Pinl and Pink Drink are going to be available in bottles and will effectively become part of the brand’s RTD line of beverages. The fruity flavors are made with real fruit juice.

Starbucks’ Pink Drink features a combination of acai and strawberry flavors, while the Paradise Drink offers a tropical flavor of passion fruit, pineapple, and coconut milk. They will hit the shelves of grocery outlets, convenience stores, retail stores, and even gas stations very soon and will retail at $3.67 per 14-ounce bottle, although the price may vary depending on the retailer.

“We are excited to launch the new ready-to-drink Starbucks Pink Drink and Paradise Drink on store shelves nationwide, offering our customers another way to enjoy these delicious and refreshing beverages,” Starbucks’ senior vice president & president, global channel development, Chanda Beppu, said in a statement.

She added, “Starbucks Pink Drink began as a customer-created beverage in our Starbucks stores and quickly became a fan favorite and permanent beverage on the menu. Offering the popular, plant-based, cold Starbucks Refreshers beverages in grocery channels further extends the Starbucks RTD portfolio.”
