DIY Starbucks Labor Drink Recipe (Updated Version)

The Starbucks Labor Drink is a viral iced tea concoction originally made with Starbucks’ Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade plus extra pumps of raspberry syrup. Though raspberry syrup is no longer available at Starbucks, people customize versions using the iced tea or lemonade base, adding pineapple juice or syrup for sweetness. The drink is popular among expectant moms due to a rumored labor-inducing effect, but experts find no solid evidence supporting this.
