Costco Just Restocked a Starbucks Favorite—and It’s Now Even Cheaper Than Before
This is the smartest way to satisfy your Starbucks cravings.
Costco is known for offering top-tier copycats of our favorite products, like its knock-off Kerrygold butter and LaCroix Sparkling Water lookalikes.
But every so often, we get exclusive access to the real deal—making a membership feel truly worthwhile. That’s why when we spot brand-name items in stores, we feel compelled to share.
We’ve long known that Costco carries Starbucks' house coffee blend under the Kirkland label, but more recently, the warehouse retailer has added another beloved Starbucks item to its shelves. When it first showed up, it had fans flocking to stores—but it didn't last long. Now, it's back again.
Costco Is Now Selling the Starbucks Pink Drink
If you’re a fan of the signature Starbucks Pink Drink, it’s time for a Costco run. Shoppers recently discovered that the popular bottled version is back in stock—and at an even lower price than last year.
What started as the Strawberry Acai Refresher in stores became an internet sensation after customers started to request it with coconut milk instead of water, giving the iced tea a creamy texture and a distinct (and adorable) pale pink color. The trendy drink is sweet and fruity with a slightly tropical feel, perfect for a midday pick-me-up.
“As a barista of 5 years, this is the only drink I get,” someone shared on Reddit. “So freaking good.”
The customized order became so popular that Starbucks officially brought it to the menu in 2017. Then, the company launched a bottled version in stores in the spring of last year. Now, the ready-to-drink beverage has made its way to Costco so members can drink the sweet, fruity refresher by the dozen.
According to fans, the bottled version is nearly identical in flavor to the in-store offering and “satisfies the craving.” Reviewers also say it's best served over ice, preferably with fresh or freeze-dried strawberries for the full barista-style experience.
When Costco first released the Pink Drink, a 12-count package was priced at $18.99. Now, it’s selling for just $16.99 at some locations. It’s worth noting that the Costco bottles are smaller than those at other retailers, with each serving being eight ounces instead of the standard 14 ounces. However, at $16.99, the Costco price works out to about $1.41 per bottle—less than half the cost of the same drink at other stores.
If the store-bought version is a little too sweet for your taste, you can still enjoy the refreshing pink drink by easily recreating it at home with less sugar. But, if you love the Pink Drink exactly as is, now is the time to stock your pantry while it's still available.
