Frequently Asked Questions About Refresha Base
What is Refresha Base?
Refresha Base is a concentrated, flavoured base used to make cold Refresha-style drinks. It is normally mixed into a drink rather than consumed straight, and the ingredients can vary by flavour and market.
Does Refresha Base contain caffeine?
Some Refresha Base products contain caffeine, often from green coffee extract, while formulations can differ between flavours and markets. If you are avoiding caffeine, check the ingredient information for the specific base rather than assuming every Refresha drink is caffeine-free.
How do you make a drink with Refresha Base?
Mix Refresha Base with the liquid and other ingredients specified for the drink, then serve it cold, usually over ice. Because it is concentrated and already sweetened, adding more syrup or sugar can make the finished drink very sweet.
Can you use Refresha Base with sparkling water?
Yes, Refresha Base can be mixed with sparkling water for a fizzy cold drink. Stir gently so you do not lose too much carbonation, and serve it soon after mixing.
Is Refresha Base very sweet?
Yes, Refresha Base is a high-sugar concentrate, so it can taste very sweet if used undiluted or in a large amount. To make a less sweet drink, use less base and more water rather than adding another sweetener.
Does Refresha Base contain real fruit?
Some Refresha Base formulations use fruit juice or fruit juice concentrate, but the ingredients vary by flavour and market. It should not be treated as equivalent to whole fruit, and a particular fruit is present only if listed in that product’s ingredients.
How should you store Refresha Base after opening?
Store opened Refresha Base according to the package directions, including refrigeration if the product calls for it. Keep the container tightly closed and use it within the stated period after opening.
Can you drink Refresha Base straight?
Refresha Base is intended to be diluted as part of a drink, not sipped like a ready-to-drink beverage. Its concentrated sweetness can be overpowering on its own; use the amount specified in the recipe and add the mixing liquid.
Is Refresha Base the same as fruit syrup?
No, Refresha Base is a concentrate formulated for Refresha-style drinks, while fruit syrup is generally used mainly to add sweetness and flavour. The two may share ingredients, but they are not automatically interchangeable in a recipe.
Can children have drinks made with Refresha Base?
Children can have a small drink made with a caffeine-free Refresha Base, but its high sugar content makes it better as an occasional choice than an everyday drink. Avoid caffeine-containing versions for children.

What is Refresha Base?
Refresha Base is a concentrated, sweetened drink base used to make fruit-flavoured cold beverages. It is generally diluted rather than served on its own, and cafés use it as a starting point for iced drinks. The exact flavour depends on the version, so it can be mixed to suit the drink you want.
Expect a distinctly sweet taste and a thick, concentrated consistency before dilution. At home, mix it with water or sparkling water and serve over ice; add more liquid for a milder drink. Its nutritional profile is mainly carbohydrate, with no protein or fat, so it contributes sweetness rather than much else nutritionally. If you prefer a less sweet drink, use a smaller amount of base and dilute it further.
