Starbucks Sunflower Drink Recipe – How to Make the Tiktok Sensation

April 15, 2022 by Wendy

Starbucks Sunflower Drink Recipe – How to Make the Tiktok Sensation

If you’re one of the millions who have seen the viral Tiktok video of a Starbucks employee sharing a delicious looking Sunflower lemonade-Passion Tea-Raspberry drink from Starbucks’ Secret Menu, then you may be looking for the Starbucks Sunflower recipe! You’re in luck!

I’ve gone one father and included a way to make it 100% sugar free, or Zero Points on the Weight Watchers WW Personal Points program! You can certainly opt to use sugar in your lemonade, and use regular Torani Syrup Mixer, just like they do at Starbucks.

My daughter and I stopped at Starbucks inside a Target store, so I decided to see if they had the infamous Sunflower drink. They had no idea what I was talking about. After a minute, the barista said, “do you mean the one from Tiktok?” LOL! Yep! She said, “well, tell me what’s in it if you remember and I can make it!” I did, and she did.

I had a feeling it would be good. But, it was delicious!

How to Order Starbucks Sunflower Tea

Since locations vary, and some have different names for things than others, simply ask for a:

Lemonade with raspberry syrup and top with a splash of passion tea.

How Much does a Venti Sunflower Cost?

Prices vary by location, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $4 – $8 for a drink like this. Of course, making it at home will cost a fraction. You’ll have to invest a little upfront, of course. But, you’ll be able to make them all summer long! Here’s the price breakdown:

  • True Lemon: approximately 6 cents per pack (you’ll use 2)
  • Stevia: approx. 7 cents per pack (you’ll use 2)
  • Passion Tea: approx. 14 cents each (you’ll use 1/2)
  • Raspberry syrup: approx. 16 cents for half a shot
  • total: 49 cents per 26 oz glass

What Size?

There are four sizes at Starbucks:

  • Tall is 12 fl oz
  • Grande is 16 fl oz
  • Venti is 24 fl oz
  • Trenta is 30 fl oz

First, gather the ingredients! I’m linking to each item so you can see what I’m talking about.

Sirtfood Green Juice Recipe for Blender (No Juicer Needed)

December 1, 2021 by Wendy

SIRTFOOD GREEN JUICE RECIPE (Blender Version) no juicer is needed!

Since I’m always looking for a way to save money, I found a way to make Sirtfood Green Juice without having to buy an expensive juicer. It’s really simple too! I used my blender, added water, and strained the contents through cheesecloth that I got on Amazon for a few bucks! It was easy and the cheesecloth worked SO well. I dare to say even better than the most expensive juicer to get every last drop of juice. Of course, cheese cloth is also reusable. Here’s the cheesecloth I got. Compared to a $600 blender, I’d highly recommend at least starting with this option!

Be sure to read through entire directions BEFORE beginning.

Makes two servings.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 loosely packed cups kale (chopped coarsely)
  • 4 loosely packed cups rocket (arugula)
  • 2 loosely packed cups flat-leaf parsley (you can include stems, leaves, etc)
  • 1 loosely packed cup lovage leaves (optional)
  • 2 large stalks green celery, including leaves (chop to fit in blender)
  • ½ medium green apple, cored
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ tsp matcha green tea powder

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a blender, add all ingredients except lemon & tea
  2. Add 8 oz water
  3. Blend on high for 2 minutes
  4. Pour blended juice into colander lined with 2 layers of cheesecloth (use enough cheese cloth so that you can pick up edges like a pouch, or if you have a cheesecloth bag that works best!)
  5. Now, pick up the cheesecloth keeping contents inside, squeeze cheese cloth until all liquid has been sieved off of the pulp.
  6. Finally, add in the lemon juice and tea and blend again.
  7. Green juice will store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days!

Skinny Watermelon Moonshine Recipe (Costs Only 25¢)

July 4, 2020 by Wendy

Skinny Watermelon Moonshine Recipe (Costs Only 25¢) 

This Homemade Skinny Watermelon Moonshine Recipe is SO easy and quick! And Tasty??  It will be your new favorite beverage!

Like it? Repin it on Pinterest!

Unlike most moonshine recipes you find online, this Moon Shine recipe does not call for Moonshine!!  I mean, who has moonshine laying around? LOL! Not me! Okay, some people might. Especially since the TV Show Moonshiners on Discovery Channel has gained popularity. So, if you do have moonshine, you can use it in place of the alcohol in this Moonshine recipe. But if you’re like me, you probably do not have moonshine in stock. No worries, you can still make this!

This is a very basic recipe. Feel free to get creative with it! Using watermelon vodka and Malibu rum (coconut flavor) really enhances the flavor. Obviously, if you don’t use watermelon vodka it’s not going to taste like watermelon moonshine! It will be more like hard lemonade (which is also super good! I love me some Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and love that this cost so much less!)

Price breakdown: 

  • A 1 liter bottle of watermelon vodka and coconut rum will cost between $15 – $20, depending on brand and your location. If you get the super cheap stuff, it might be as low as $10 per bottle.  For argument’s sake, let’s say you get the good stuff for $18 each, which makes it about $0.80 per 1 oz shot.  This drink calls for 2 shots, so getting “the good stuff” liquor will run around $1.60. (This could be as low as $0.88 for 2 shots if you get no-name stuff.)
  • Now for the lemonade. You can make any type of pink lemonade. I prefer Crystal Light or True Lemon because it makes this a skinny drink recipe. If you want to make the pink lemonade in 2-quart batches, you can pour in to fill the glass as you’re mixing each drink. Walmart has Crystal Light Pink Lemonade, SIX – 2-quart packs for $2.68.  That’s about $0.44 per 2-quart pack, 22¢ per quart. You’ll use just about 1/2 quart due to ice and other ingredients. So, your Crystal light will cost about 11¢ (half-quart).  Or, you can use other single-serve drink mix pack. I found Wyler’s Light Pink Lemonade (sugar free, 5 calories per serving) at Walmart, 8 packs in a box, for $0.80. Basically, if they’re under 11¢ each, they’ll cost the same as the 2-quart packs of Crystal Light. Kool-Aid could be an even cheaper option, at between 5 -10¢ per 2-quarts (adding a cup of sugar will add about 15¢). At any rate, let’s figure the drink mix at 11¢. 😉
  • Ice and water are basically free.
  • That means you’re making a whole quart (I’m using a quart jar) for about $1.71. A quart is 32 ounces, so that’s like FOUR glasses (it’s a big drink!) So, a glass of Watermelon Moonshine costs as low as 25¢ (or 43¢ for the good stuff).

How’s that for a cheap date? 😉

Little-known fact: there are 22.5 shots in a 1 liter bottle of liquor.

This is SO yummy! You can make a big batch, or a single serving.

Note: Please enjoy responsibly. Age 21+ only (or legal drinking age in your area)

Pin Recipe

Description

If you’re looking for an incredibly yummy drink to cool off and relax with, look no farther than the Skinny Watermelon Moonshine shown here. Refreshing and just enough kick to help you kick back and enjoy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (1.5 ounces) Watermelon Vodka
  • 1/2 shot (.75 ounces) Triple Sec
  • 1/2 shot (.75 ounces) Malibu Coconut Rum
  • Pink Lemonade (there are a few different kinds – read more below)
  • Ice

Instructions

Mix all together in a Mason jar and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

Pink lemonade: you can make lemonade from scratch using real lemons or bottled Real Lemon juice. Or, you can use drink mix to make lemonade. (I really feel the need to say something corny about life giving you lemons…) But, I prefer True Lemon drink packets because there’s no additives or bad stuff in them. And, they’re easy!

Angry Orchard Hard Cider Copycat Recipe {3 Simple Ingredients}

July 4, 2015 by Wendy

Angry Orchard Hard Cider Copycat Recipe {3 Simple Ingredients}

My new favorite thing is hard cider! I don’t love Redd’s but I do love Angry Orchard. I just don’t love how much it costs! So, I set out to make my own. After an exhaustive search online, I came to the realization that nobody has done this! Or, at least, I couldn’t find a recipe to make hard cider. It’s exciting to be the first, but there were many failed attempts before I finally made a drink that everyone agrees tastes like hard cider and is super good!!

I like to improvise, so I’ve added many things you can substitute ingredients with. That way you can always enjoy a hard cider, no matter what you have on hand.

Just three easy ingredients!

  • Beer:  I used Michelob Golden Light because it has only 90 calories and is low carbs, since you’re only using about half a can per glass that’s just 45 calories per serving!
  • Apple juice or apple cider: There are so many varieties of juice! I tried from concentrate (pictured) and it was great. I also tried Cran-Apple juice and I very much preferred it to plain apple juice. Give it a whirl and let me know which you liked best
  • Lemon: Again, so many options! I tried (and liked) lemon juice from concentrate, lemonade, Diet Mt. Dew (this was great!), Margarita mix, Bud Light Lime-a-Rita… the sky is the limit. Just so you get a little lemon taste in there with it. Go easy on the lemon so it doesn’t overpower it

Beergartita Recipe – CopyCat Bud Light Lime-A-Rita (YUM!)

Beergartita Recipe – CopyCat Bud Light Lime-A-Rita (YUM!)

If you like Bud Light Lime-a-rita (my favorite!) but hate the price, try this awesome recipe you can make at home. They’re great for parties!!

Ever since Bud Light came out with their yummy Limearitas, I have been in search of an alternate that wouldn’t cost so much. At $10 – $15 per 12-pack, the bud light Limearitas are a little high price for my taste. And, they’re little cans, not the full 12 oz we’re used to in a beer.

If you’ve been a fan for a while, you may have the FREE Jose Cuervo Margarita ball we posted years ago. This is the perfect time to use it! 😉

Check out my Beer-ga-rita recipe! You can add in Mango, Strawberry and Raspberry flavors to achieve their newest Mang-O-Rita,  Straw-Ber-Rita and Raz-Ber-Rita!

Skinny Strawberry Margarita with Skinny Girl {or Strawberry Lemonade without it!}

July 4, 2015 by Wendy

Strawberry Margarita with Skinny Girl {or Strawberry Lemonade without it!}

Have you tried Skinny Girl Margaritas? I got some on clearance, so I stocked up! (LOL!!) I was sad to find that they’re really strong tasting (to me, anyway) and I couldn’t drink them. Well, what’s a frugal girl like me to do? I couldn’t let them go to waste. So, I invented this yummy Strawberry Margarita recipe that’s super skinny and so tasty!

A little background: I don’t like strong tasting drinks. But, if you do, Skinny Girl might be great for you! Also, to be fair – since I got it on clearance there’s a chance that it’s not the freshest and that might be why it tastes this way. I don’t know; it’s my first time trying it.  But, it tasted more like straight tequila to me. My exact words were, “this tastes like turpentine” to which my husband responded, “have you tasted turpentine?”  Me: “Well, no… but… oh, you know what I mean!”

I also have a skinny margarita mix recipe you might want to try with if you’d rather not buy Skinny Girl pre-made margarita (the alcohol’s already in it).

Here’s the Skinny Strawberry Margarita Recipe showing what I did!

Tom and Jerry Batter Recipe ~ Holiday Hot Drinks

December 15, 2014 by Wendy

Tom and Jerry Batter Recipe ~ Holiday Hot Drinks

Nothing warms you up on a cold winter night like a hot toddy, hot buttered rum, mulled cider or eggnog. But, here in the Midwest “Tom and Jerry” are all the rage! They’re not cheap though, so here’s how you can make your own with our Tom and Jerry Batter Recipe.

Years ago, alcoholic drinks served warm used to be thought of as having medicinal, healing properties.  My grandma would drink a “hot brandy” – brandy mixed with hot water and a spoonful of sugar – before bed when she wasn’t feeling good.  She thought it helped her relax, get warm and get some sleep.

Tom and Jerry Batter is non-alcoholic, but is traditionally served with rum and/or brandy. Being very “eggy” tasting, not everyone likes them. But, for those who do – the holidays just aren’t the same without them. Even my little girl loves the batter (without liquor, of course!!) The NYT calls Tom and Jerry a “relative of eggnog.”

Price breakdown

Tom and Jerry Batter is sold in grocery and liquor stores in the Midwest during the holidays. You can usually find it in the store in the dairy aisle. But, Tom and Jerry Batter can cost upwards from $5 or more for a single container!! You only use a few spoonfuls per cup, but it still adds up fast.  So, save some money this Christmas and make your own Tom and Jerry Batter!  It’s easy and cheap!

Store it for later

To store Tom and Jerry mix, keep in refrigerator for up to 14 days, or three months frozen.

Notes

To make a traditional Tom and Jerry drink:

  1. Fill a cup or mug 3/4 full with hot water.
  2. Add 1 shot (jigger, or 1 oz) rum or brandy (or both!), OR you can use warm milk, hot cocoa, or eggnog
  3. Add a heaping tablespoon of Tom & Jerry batter.
