Update on Raspberry Syrups At Starbucks
Starbucks appears to have discontinued raspberry syrup, so this list is from when it was still available.
I’m glad to see raspberry drinks getting attention again.
Some are custom orders rather than standard menu items, so I wanted to see which ones actually worked.
Here are the best Starbucks raspberry drinks I’d keep on my radar.
Starbucks Raspberry drinks (11 Menu options you should try)
1. Raspberry Mocha Eggnog
White mocha, raspberry, and eggnog sounds almost too rich on paper, which is exactly why it caught my attention.
It’s not a standard Starbucks menu drink, but it’s the kind of custom order I’d still keep in mind if you like dessert-style coffee.
What I notice first is the contrast. The white chocolate gives the drink a heavy, creamy base, and the raspberry cuts through it with a sharper fruit note so it doesn’t just taste like plain sweetness.
It looks and tastes like one of my favorite holiday desserts with a fruity twist – I can’t get enough! I love ordering it hot when it’s chilly outside for the ultimate cozy vibes.
At around 500 calories , with roughly 34 grams of carbs and 30 grams of sugar, this is very much a treat rather than an everyday order.
How To Order Raspberry Mocha Eggnog
- Ask for an iced white mocha made with eggnog instead of milk (a common option in most Starbucks). Then ask them to add raspberry sauce with 1 pump for Tall, 2 for Grande, and 3 for Venti. This will give you a creamy red and white drink that’s sweet and tart.
2. Raspberry Iced Tea
Raspberry iced tea is one of the first drinks I think about when the weather turns warm. It feels clean, fruity, and cold enough to reset your mouth on a hot day.
I love its bright color and how fresh it smells. Plus, the low caffeine makes this an excellent choice to round out my day as I wind down.
It also sits at under 35 calories, and I like that it stays light without tasting watery.
It has about 8 grams of sugar, so the raspberry comes through without making the whole drink taste syrupy.
How To Order Raspberry Iced Tea
- Ask for half iced green tea and half iced black tea with 3-5 pumps of Starbucks raspberry syrup.
3. Raspberry Lime Refresher
I’ve always liked lemonade when it’s hot outside, and the Starbucks raspberry lime refresher is a brighter, sharper version of that idea.
Something about this sweet yet tart combo of raspberry and citrus reminds me of a raspberry mojito – which I am definitely not complaining about!
It’s around 80 calories and has no caffeine, although it still has over 20 grams of sugar. To me, it reads as a sweet cold drink rather than anything light.
How To Order Raspberry Lime Refresher
- To order a Starbucks raspberry lime refresher ask for a cool lime refresher (these might only be offered during the summer months).
Then, ask for 3-5 pumps of Starbucks raspberry syrup and stir it up. This should give you an ice cool refreshing drink with a mix of lime, lemon, and raspberry flavors.
Tips From A Barista: For a more filling drink, you can opt for a crème base but remember to take the lime slices out, or it will curdle!
4. Raspberry Milk Tea
I’ve always had a soft spot for strawberry milk and chocolate milk, so Starbucks’ milk tea take made sense to me straight away.
The raspberry milk tea reminds me of a fruity bubble tea milk base, but Starbucks doesn’t have the signature boba that a lot of bubble tea shops use. The first sip felt familiar in the same way a sweet milk tea does, just with raspberry taking the lead instead of plain tea.
This creamy and lightly sweet drink reminds me almost of raspberry milk and is so easy to drink. I love ordering some for myself and for my nieces and nephews when they come to visit.
It comes in at about 250 calories and 35 grams of sugar, so I wouldn’t file it under light drinks. What I remember most is the creamy texture, which makes sense for raspberry lovers who want something closer to a milk tea than an iced coffee.
How To Order Raspberry Milk Tea
- To order it, you'll need to ask for an iced black tea made with half and half instead of water. Then, ask for an extra pump of syrup, 2 pumps of toffee nut syrup, and 2 pumps of Starbucks raspberry syrup.
5. Raspberry Caramel Macchiato
Macchiatos have been on my regular rotation for years, especially when I want something sweet enough to feel like a treat but still clearly coffee.
A caramel macchiato normally starts with caramel syrup and milk foam, then espresso is poured on top and finished with caramel sauce.
I admit, I had reservations about adding raspberry syrup to my regular Caramel Macchiato – I ended up being pleasantly surprised!
That gives you a sweet, rich coffee with the espresso still peeking through. With raspberry in the mix, I get a fruitier sweetness that keeps the drink from feeling heavy too quickly.
At roughly 250 calories, 30 grams of sugar, and 150mg of caffeine each, it is still a sweet coffee drink first and foremost.
How To Order Raspberry Milk Tea
- Ask for a Caramel Macchiato but replace the caramel syrup with Starbucks raspberry syrup. Top with whipped cream and dried fruit chips if available.
6. Iced Raspberry Latte
Everyone reaches for a Starbucks iced coffee latte when the sun comes out, and this raspberry version gives the familiar iced-coffee template a brighter edge.
An iced raspberry latte is the sort of summer drink I reach for when I want coffee, but I don’t want it to feel heavy. It comes across as creamy and just sweet enough to stay interesting.
It gives it a lovely color and a slightly bitter taste from the raspberries to stop it from being overly sweet.
It has about 150 calories and 11 grams of sugar, so it stays on the easier side of the menu without tasting bare.
The caffeine lands at 150mg, so it still gives a proper espresso kick for an iced drink, and you can change the milk the same way you would with any other latte.
How To Order Iced Raspberry Latte
- Ask for a regular iced latte with raspberry syrup flavoring.
7. Raspberry Chocolate Dream Frappuccino
Frappuccinos are basically the Starbucks drinks I treat like dessert, with blended coffee, flavored syrup, and whipped cream doing most of the work.
When I want something properly indulgent, I go for a raspberry chocolate dream Frappuccino.
It brings together coffee, chocolate, and raspberry in a way that reads much more like a dessert than a drink.
As a chocolate-covered fruit and chocolate truffle lover, this is heaven to me.
It’s not a light drink, sitting at over 300 calories and 35 grams of sugar, but that’s part of the appeal when I want something sweet and unapologetic.
How To Order Raspberry Chocolate Dream Frappuccino
- To order this Starbucks Dream Frappuccino, you need to ask for a vanilla bean frappuccino with 2 pumps of raspberry syrup, white mocha sauce, cinnamon syrup, and cream.
If you want a little extra, ask the barista to drizzle the top with mocha and a half pump of raspberry too.
8. Pink Raspberry Passion
Passion fruit has a sharp, bright flavor that I like pairing with sweeter drinks when I want them to feel less flat.
Starbucks’ raspberry syrup is an easy way to turn a regular iced tea into something fruitier and more memorable.
Mixing passion fruit iced tea with raspberry syrup gives me a drink that feels close to a mocktail, mostly because the tartness does as much work as the sweetness. It’s what I reach for when I want something cold and lively rather than just sweet.
If you aren’t bothered about calories, you can also top with whipped cream to make it even more delicious.
It also stays under 100 calories if you skip the cream, and it keeps the sugar lower than many of the drinks on this list at less than 15 grams.
How To Order Pink Raspberry Passion
- Order a passion fruit iced tea and ask them to add 2 pumps of raspberry syrup and blend like a Frappuccino.
9. Chocolate Covered Raspberry Frappuccino
When I want a raspberry drink that leans fully into dessert territory, I go for a Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Frappuccino.
Chocolate-covered fruit has always worked for me, so this one feels like an easy yes rather than a risky custom order.
It tastes rich and smooth without becoming too much, and the cinnamon dolce syrup gives it a little warmth that stops the raspberry from disappearing into the chocolate.
This Starbucks drink is very similar to the Raspberry Chocolate Dream Frappuccino but with a little bit more of a raspberry flavor.
It’s still an indulgent drink, so I wouldn’t order it every day, but it does scratch that dessert itch. If you like sweet Starbucks drinks like me, you’ll probably enjoy this frappuccino.
How To Order Pink Raspberry Passion
- Ask for a vanilla bean frappuccino with 2 pumps of raspberry syrup, white mocha sauce, cinnamon syrup, and raspberry cream.
Tips From A Barista: You can order it with regular chocolate syrup, or change it up with white chocolate sauce which pairs really well with the raspberry.
10. Raspberry Cheesecake Latte
When I want a warm drink that feels more like dessert than coffee, this latte does the job.
It’s topped with a rich caramel layer, then you get the raspberry-flavoured coffee underneath. The contrast reminds me a little of raspberry cheesecake, especially once the sweetness starts to settle in.
The pink and white layers are striking, and it even has a fruity, creamy smell before you take a sip.
One of these has over 400 calories, 40 grams of sugar, and 150mg of caffeine, so it sits firmly in treat-drink territory.
I think of it as something for an occasional order rather than an everyday staple, mostly because it feels so rich from the first sip to the last.
This isn’t a light beverage, and it’s probably the least healthy drink on my list, but it’s really popular with students and younger people.
How To Order Raspberry Cheesecake Latte
- Ask for a Starbucks latte with whatever milk you'd like. Then, ask for 5 pumps of flan syrup, 3 pumps of cinnamon syrup, and 2 pumps of raspberry syrup.
Tips From A Barista: You can also get caramel whipped cream on the top and coat with extra flan syrup for maximum flavor.
11. Starbucks Raspberry Mojito
Mojito-style drinks are one of my favourite summer orders, and even without alcohol, this Starbucks version still packs in plenty of flavour.
It comes in at less than 150 calories, under 20 grams of sugar, and basically 0 caffeine, which makes it one of the lighter raspberry options here.
When I’m after something crisp and cold in summer, this is the sort of drink I’d happily order again.
The sweetness of the raspberry really adds to the flavor and the tartness of the citrus green tea helps keep everything light and refreshing.
If it were still on the menu, I could see it becoming a warm-weather habit.
How To Order Starbucks Raspberry Mojito
- To order it, you'll need to ask for a green tea lemonade with 1 pump of peppermint syrup and 2 pumps of raspberry syrup on a crème base.
Has Starbucks discontinued raspberry syrup?
Yes, Starbucks discontinued raspberry syrup in early 2023. There are currently no official plans to bring back this fruity syrup.
Raspberry has always been a reliable flavour for me because it works so well with dark, milk, and white chocolate alike.
The tartness gives chocolate something to push against, which keeps the drink from tasting one-note. It also feels a little less sugary to me than strawberry often does.
One custom order I kept going back to was a White Chocolate Cream Frappuccino with a couple of pumps of raspberry syrup, so I was genuinely gutted when that stopped being an easy option.
Some other coffee shops do have raspberry options, but they never quite taste the same to me. For now, I’d probably try a Monin raspberry syrup at home and keep hoping Starbucks brings theirs back.
FAQs
Did Starbucks discontinue raspberry syrup?
Starbucks appears to have discontinued raspberry syrup during the pandemic, apparently because of ingredient shortages. I haven’t seen clear official talk of a return yet.
What brand of raspberry syrup does Starbucks use?
Starbucks syrups are branded for Starbucks, but they are made by Fontana. That includes the raspberry-flavoured syrup.
Is the raspberry syrup at Starbucks sweet?
Raspberry syrup is sweet, but it still keeps enough tartness to stop the drink from turning cloying.
Does Starbucks have a raspberry lemonade?
It’s not normally a standard menu drink, but lemonade with 2-3 pumps of raspberry syrup makes a very solid raspberry lemonade. I like how quickly the syrup changes the whole drink without needing much else.
Final words
Starbucks really had a lot of raspberry options on the menu for a while, and I didn’t appreciate how many until they started disappearing.
I’m still sad about losing favourites like Raspberry Milk Tea and Raspberry Mojito, because those were the drinks I wanted most when summer rolled around.
Hopefully this guide has given you a few raspberry drinks worth keeping an eye on, and maybe even a couple worth recreating if you can still get the ingredients.
