Cotton candy at the fair has a very specific job: be pink, be sweet, and make the walk back to the car a little stickier. This Cotton Candy Refresher takes the pink-and-sweet part and puts it in a Starbucks cup.

Our custom order starts with a Pink Drink and adds raspberry syrup and a strawberry-raspberry cold foam. Give your barista the ingredients and amounts below so the nickname isn’t doing all the work.

How to order the Cotton Candy Refresher

  1. Order a Venti Pink Drink with no inclusions.
  2. Ask for 2 pumps of raspberry syrup in the drink.
  3. Ask for vanilla sweet cream cold foam with 1 pump of raspberry syrup and light strawberry puree mixed into the foam.

The syrup goes in two places: 2 pumps in the drink and 1 pump in the foam. Keeping those amounts separate makes this much easier to explain at the counter.

Check availability before you order

This is TTB’s custom drink recipe. Raspberry syrup and custom foam options can vary, so ask about both before placing the order. If the store can’t make that combination, the drink won’t be the same recipe. We haven’t tested a substitute to promise you here.
