Did you know that there is a Starbucks Secret Menu? The Starbucks Secret Menu contains coffee drinks that were created by Starbucks baristas acting on the down-low in an unofficial capacity. The Secret Menu coffee recipes tend to be very flavorful and often much sweeter than regular menu offerings.
A common theme among Secret Menu coffees is delectable desserts such as the Cotton Candy or Cookie Dough Frappuccino, the Raspberry Cheesecake Latte, and the Caramel Snickerdoodle Macchiato. Most Starbucks employees know the secret menu recipes because they are so popular, so all you have to do is ask … or use the recipes below to make them yourself at home.
Everything You Need
How To Order From The Secret Menu At The Store
The Starbucks Secret Menu ordering equation is simple:
Secret Menu Drink = Base Drink + Substitutions + Additions
Using the popular Cotton Candy Frappuccino as an example, you place your order with the barista as follows:
“I would like a Cotton Candy Frappuccino please, which is a Grande Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino with 1 1/2 pumps of raspberry syrup, blended, and topped with whipped cream.
Ordering from the Starbucks Secret Menu this way is simple, efficient, and absolutely mandatory when they are busy. It helps if you pull up the recipe on your phone while you are standing in line to order. Generally, if you are prepared, and don’t make the barista run around trying to figure out what goes in your order, they are more than happy to make it for you. Plus, it makes you look like a pro!
