How many Starbucks drinks do you think there are? You must be counting in your head those choices of drinks they have written on their menu board. Well, those are just the ones you know of, and probably the only drinks you order. But what you may not know is that there is a whole new universe of drinks waiting for you to discover on Starbucks secret menu.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try the secret menu items revealed below. These recipes have been tried and tested by coffee enthusiasts who have been frequenting their cafés for years.
Butterbeer Frappuccino
You’re probably wondering what this Harry Potter drink is doing on this list. And if you’re a true blue Potterhead, then you’re absolutely going to love this delicious concoction. Not only will you get to relive those fun scenes in The Three Broomsticks, but you will also get to experience how truly magical Butterbeer is.
- Order a grande crème Frappuccino. Do not order skim milk because you will need 100% milk for this drink.
- Request three pumps each of caramel syrup and toffee nut syrup.
- Ask for caramel to be drizzled on top.
This has been quite popular for some time now, so some staff may know how to create it without being given instructions. The average cost for this deliciousness is $4 to $5, depending on the size and add ons.
Shirley Temple
The name of this beverage alone is sure to add excitement to your afternoon. Now you can get your own mocktail from Starbucks:
- Order a strawberry lemonade and ask them to mix it with an orange mango smoothie.
- To add flavor, a squeeze of raspberry syrup on top.
Baby Yoda
The Starbucks Baby Yoda Frappuccino was spotted late last year, and it went viral immediately. As you’re probably picturing, the Baby Yoda frapp is a beautiful shade of bright green with hints of caramel throughout. The specialty drink starts with a Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino, Caramel, Whipped Cream, and Caramel Ribbon Crunch Crunchies. To order one, just ask for a Matcha frapp with caramel sauce lining the inside of the cup. Then ask for whipped cream and caramel on the top, and finish it off with Caramel Ribbon Crunch Crunchies.
Dirty Chai
This is a simple combination of ingredients that tea lovers will adore. If you’re a fan of chai tea, then you should enjoy this drink that you can order hot or cold. Just ask for a Chai Latte, mixed with a shot of espresso. Perfect if you need a caffeine booster in your tea, not to mention that’s it’s really tasty! The cost will be the normal price of the latte, plus the price of the espresso shot.
Harley Quinn
The Harley Quinn Frappuccino is another movie-inspired drink that became wildly popular back in February of this year during the promotion of Birds of Prey. Just like Harley Quinn’s two-colored hairstyle, the frappuccino’s whipped topping is split right down the middle with green and hot pink coloring. Just ask your barista for a Strawberry Frappuccino with strawberry puree at the base of the cup. Have them add whipped cream and top half of it with match powder and the other half with dried dragonfruit.
Joker Frappuccino
If you’re more of a Joker fan, you’ll love this bright green drink with the signature red smile. Just ask for a Matcha frappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. Sounds easy enough, right? Here’s the kicker – make sure to ask for a smiley face on the inside of the cup, drawn with strawberry syrup. That’s what makes it Instagram-worthy.
Cap’n Crunch Berry Frappuccino
You’ve probably missed the taste of this breakfast cereal that woke you up every morning as a kid. Let this berry drink remind you of those days and give you reason to visit Starbucks in the morning.
- Order a Strawberry and Crème Frappuccino.
- Ask for one pump each of the following syrup flavors: caramel, hazelnut, and toffee.
