UPDATED: Starbucks Has Officially Added This Stunning Ombre Drink To Its Menu
UPDATED: May 31, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. EST
You'll no longer have to remember an exact order of ingredients to score Starbucks' Ombre Pink Drink. Just like last summer's Pink Drink, this one's officially been added to the year-round menu.
And, now that it's on the regular roster, we finally have nutritional info to show exactly how much damage the drink's doing to your diet. A tall clocks in at 80 calories, with 14 grams of sugar and about 35 to 45mg of caffeine. The blend of coconut milk, Cool Lime Starbucks Refresher and Teavana Shaken Iced Passionfruit Tea isn't as low cal as, say, unsweetened black cold brew, but it's still well under the typical Frappuccino.
Starting June 1, you'll be able to order it on your phone using Starbucks' US Mobile Order and Pay feature, so you can skip the line, too. A tall will set you back about $3.85-$4.05.

Between Starbucks superfans and wildly talented baristas, the creativity behind the counter is seemingly limitless. With those infamous rainbow drinks and, most recently, the unicorn Frappuccino, there has been no shortage of colorful Instagram content. Now the chain's latest secret-menu creation combines last year's infamous Pink Drink (which recently became a permanent menu item) with iced passion tea to create a stunning ombré effect.
The result is a perfectly pretty pink fade that tastes super sweet.

Several Starbucks baristas have posted pictures of the drink on social media during the last few days, and Starbucks Melody (an unofficial Starbucks blog that tends to be spot-on about upcoming products) says the drink will be on the actual menu as a featured item starting May 31.
We don't have official confirmation on that just yet, but you can definitely ask for the very specific special order with our instructions: Order a tall Pink Drink served in a grande cup (or a grande in a venti cup), then get it topped with a splash of iced passion tea.
Or, if you want it to look like a watermelon instead, ask for a tall Cool Lime Refresher (but make sure to sub in coconut milk for water) with the iced passion tea on top. The final product here is more contrasting than ombré, but we still love it.

Since there's no sticky syrup involved, hopefully it won't cause any baristas meltdown like the Unicorn frapp fiasco.
