Starbucks is tapping into full-on Disney Channel nostalgia with a new drink that feels pulled straight out of 2006. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, the chain is rolling out a limited-time “Hannah’s Secret Popstar Refresher,” and yes, it’s as pink and extra as you’d hope.
The drink will be available March 23 through April 5 as part of Starbucks’s in-app secret menu, meaning you’ll need to order it through the app or customize it yourself in-store. The build starts with a Strawberry Açaí Refresher, then adds raspberry cold foam and a couple pumps of raspberry syrup for a layered, popstar-pink treat.
If you’re ordering it manually, it’s a grande Strawberry Açaí Refresher with no strawberry inclusions, plus raspberry cold foam and two pumps of raspberry syrup.
The result is a bright pink, slightly creamy Refresher that leans more dessert-adjacent than your standard iced drink. It’s very much giving “Best of Both Worlds” in beverage form.
Beyond the limited-time menu item, Starbucks is also going all in on the nostalgia. On March 24, locations across the U.S. will play a curated Hannah Montana playlist in stores, turning your usual coffee run into a full Disney Channel throwback moment. There’s also a sweepstakes element tied to the launch, with 20,000 fans getting a chance to try the drink through Disney Channel’s social platforms.
The raspberry choice is interesting, though. Fans of the show might remember that raspberry isn’t exactly Hannah’s favorite flavor. In one episode, she famously gets sick after eating too much raspberry pie. But visually, it makes sense here. The color alone sells the fantasy and gives the drink that bold, stage-ready look.
Secret menu drinks are always a bit of a gamble, especially when they rely on custom builds. But when you pair that with one of Disney Channel’s most iconic shows, it starts to feel less like a drink launch and more like a cultural callback.
Whether you’re ordering it for the nostalgia or just for the color, Starbucks clearly knows exactly who this is for. And if you grew up watching Hannah Montana, there’s a very real chance you’re at least a little curious.
