Starbucks fan says hack lets her 'rob' coffee chain's summer drink for just a dollar

A savvy woman has taken to Instagram to reveal her secret hack for getting her favourite Starbucks drink at a fraction of the cost.

The popular Pink Drink, a non-dairy refresher that typically costs between $4 and $6, is a summertime staple for many coffee lovers.

But the social media user who goes by Selena Norinh (@selena.norinh) on Instagram, claims to have found a way to make it at home for just $1.

In a video that has since gone viral, Selena walks viewers through her simple recipe.

All they need is a plastic Starbucks cup, ice, Ocean Spray White Cranberry Strawberry juice, Silk coconut milk, and freeze-dried strawberries.

Selena recommends her followers fill the cup three-quarters of the way with the juice, then top it off with coconut milk and strawberries.

That way, she claims to have created a perfect dupe of the beloved Pink Drink.

"Starbucks LIFEHACK," she captioned her post, adding, "How to rob Starbucks - legally of course."

Selena claims that by purchasing the ingredients and having leftovers, she can make multiple Pink Drinks for just $1.

Her video has been viewed thousands of times and garnered over 10,000 likes.

While some viewers praised Selena's creativity, others pointed out that the Pink Drink contains caffeine, which her version lacks.

But for those looking to save a few bucks and still enjoy their favourite Starbucks treat, Selena's hack seems worth a try.

One commenter said: "Starbucks is nasty!!! Home is always better."
