What Starbucks Got Wrong About The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Raspberry Refresher
This raspberry refresher is not popstar-approved—find out what is wrong with the Hannah Montana drink
For those who grew up watching Hannah Montana and pop superstar Miley Cyrus, you may know that March 24, 2026 is the 20th anniversary of the series premiere. Starbucks is one of multiple brands that are launching collaborations ahead of the 20th anniversary special airing on Disney+ and Hulu on March 24th.
The coffee company has thrown their hat in the ring when it comes to creating Hannah Montana-themed items, releasing a delicious new raspberry-flavored drink. Hannah’s Secret Popstar Refresher will be enjoyed by many—except Hannah Montana herself.
Find out why this new refresher is not Hannah Montana-approved and where Starbucks went wrong with the drink!
Why Hannah wouldn’t like the drink
Of course, the plot of Hannah Montana was fictional, but if you obsessed over the pop icon’s tv series, you might remember that she hates raspberries. In season 1 episode 25, titled “Smells Like Teen Sellout,” Hannah struggles with a perfume partnership where she has to promote a raspberry-scented perfume—even though she despises the fruit.
Her hatred towards the scent stems from winning a pie eating contest where Miley ate five raspberry pies in ten minutes. But afterwards, she was sickened by the taste and smell. She explains in the episode, “Now even a whiff of raspberry makes me sick.”
Throughout the episode, Hannah/Miley struggled with promoting a perfume she despised for the perks, such as a new car and TV appearances. In the end, she decided to turn down the commercial and endorsement, explaining, “The truth is always the best thing.”
However, considering this drink is a promotion for the Hannah Montana anniversary, it is funny to know that the refresher is the flavor of something the character disliked.
What is the refresher?
If you want to celebrate the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary with Starbucks, check out the new refresher on their Secret Menu. Even though Hannah herself might not love it, the drink will definitely be delicious for those who enjoy raspberries.
“Hannah’s Secret Popstar Refresher is ready for its close-up,” the description says. Strawberry acai meets a layer of raspberry cold foam, plus an added splash of raspberry syrup for a popstar-perfect drink.”
To order the drink you would ask for a grande Strawberry Acai Refresher with no strawberry inclusions, two pumps of raspberry syrup and raspberry cold foam on top. You can order through Starbucks Secret Menu or you can create your own with these ingredients.
Remember to celebrate 20 years of the popstar and tune into the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, which premieres March 24 on Disney+ and Hulu!
