The Starbucks secret menu harbors an array of sweet treats and mouth-watering drinks that will sadly never see the sun unless you order them specifically.
Most fast food restaurants have their version of the secret menu, which is usually just extra items they can make from already existing stock. Though Starbucks‘ is by far the most popular, fans might be pleased to learn that McDonald’s also has a secret menu. Let’s take a look at some highly demanded Starbucks secret menu items.
Cotton Candy Frappuccino
As reported by the Starbucks Secret Menu site, the Cotton Candy Frappuccino is one of the many cold drinks to receive glowing reviews from customers.
It’s also relatively easy to make compared to other inclusions. Simply order a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and ask for pumps of raspberry syrup depending on the size, with 1 pump for tall, 1.5 pumps for grande, and 2 pumps for venti.
The drink has received rave reviews online, as one person explained on Twitter: “Cotton Candy Frappuccino! They asked if I wanted it pink… of course I do! So yummy!”
Red Tuxedo/Red Velvet Frappuccino
Given that red velvet is one of America’s favorite cake flavors, the success of the Frappuccino should come as no surprise. To build this sugary concoction, request a Frappuccino made from half white mocha and half regular mocha.
To this, add your pumps of raspberry syrup, blend vicariously, and then top with whipped cream.
Oreo Frappuccino
Also known as the Cookies and Cream Frappuccino, this creamy drink is a fan favorite among regular Starbucks customers.
There are a couple of ways to secure your desired flavor, with the most popular being a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino blended with mocha sauce instead of regular mocha. This is then topped with regular or chocolate whipped cream.
For more of a cookie punch, the Starbucks Secret Menu site recommended a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino blended with java chips.
Butterbeer Frappuccino
If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, then the Butterbeer Frappuccino might be the drink to answer your wizarding prayers. Inspired by the magic-filled franchise, the frappe is a little more complicated than previous entries.
To make, line a cup with caramel sauce and then ask for a full-fat Creme Frappuccino base for the correct consistency. Next, add three pumps of both caramel and toffee nut syrup before blending. Top with cream and caramel drizzle.
Twix Frappuccino
Next time you are at your local coffee house, instead of the usual boring drip coffee, get the Twix Frappuccino. It is also called the Caramel Cookie Bar Frappuccino.
To achieve the maximum levels of chocolate goodness, you need to ask the barista for a Caramel Frappuccino with hazelnut syrup and java chips. Once blended, top with cream, caramel drizzle, and chocolate drizzle.
“The best part about writing in a Starbucks is overhearing the insane non-menu items people order,” someone admitted on Twitter. “Today’s winner: a Twix Frappuccino…”
Cake Batter Frappuccino
Whether you call it the Cake Batter Frappuccino or the Birthday Cake Frappuccino, one thing is for certain, this frappe is one of the best out there. The best bit? You don’t even have to be celebrating a birthday to enjoy it.
The recipe itself is a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino mixed with hazelnut syrup, but you could up the drama by asking for the staff to blend a cake pop into it.
