One of the things TikTok is good at is showing us all the foods and drinks we wish we had. This app can make everything from great recipes to some of the best cocktails. However, just because something looks fantastic online doesn’t mean it’s real. Knowing what a fake viral video is is sometimes important before embarrassment.
A new viral Starbucks drink called “Under the Sea Refresher” gives off major Little Mermaid vibes saying it’s called an “Under the Sea Refresher.” However, the coffee giant has reported too many secret menus to take it at face value, so now we can’t trust it. Has someone played another cruel joke on me or is this drink real?
Is the “Under the Sea Refresher” at Starbucks real?
No, unfortunately. Starbucks does not sell Under The Sea Refresher, the viral drink. That’s why Starbucks doesn’t put candy worms in their drinks.
The “Under the Sea Refresher” on TikTok looks like an iced blue drink containing colorful gummy worms. Although it looks tempting, especially during the summer, it’s not a real Starbucks drink.
The Tiktok User @hannahgalligan24 posted the video right after Christmas in 2021, so it appears to be a joke. In the video, there is a text message stating, “I got the new Starbucks drink today.”

Here’s how you can make an “Under the Sea Refresher” at Home
There are a lot of similarities between this fake drink and the light blue Gatorade Glacier Freeze flavor. Start by pouring some gummy worms into the cup. Once that is covered with ice, pour the sports drink over it. Sprite is another clear addition you can play around with. To make this 21+-friendly, substitute Sprite for Gatorade and top it off with Blue Curacao instead of Gatorade. Lastly, pour yourself a Starbucks tumbler and you’re done.
