That’s why we rounded up the best copycat Starbucks drink recipes that are made for summer—refreshers, frappuccinos, iced lattes, and creamy cold brews that taste like the real deal (if not better, just sayin’).

And the best part? You don’t need any fancy equipment—just a blender, some ice, and a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

As a nurse who runs on caffeine, these drinks have saved me on many sweaty mornings and “how-is-it-only-2pm?” afternoons. And when I make one for Matthew too? It feels like a little café date right in our own kitchen—minus the $6 price tag.
