23 Starbucks Secret Menu Items You Won't Want To Miss

This is arguably the drink that went viral and consequently made the Starbucks secret menu famous way before TikTok was even created. This frothy treat combines all of the best things in life: chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, and coffee. With a caramel frappuccino as a base, this candy-bar-themed drink also contains a sufficient amount of caffeine, so it can double as your morning pick-me-up!

Here's a popular variation of this secret menu item. To order the Twix Frappuccino, ask for a Caramel Frappuccino, add two pumps of hazelnut syrup, java chips, extra caramel sauce, and mocha drizzle on top. Feel free to add a couple more pumps of hazelnut if you decide to order a venti.

Fun fact: the uber-popular Starbucks Pink Drink actually started out as a secret menu item. The drink (which, according to the Starbucks menu, is made with a Strawberry Acai refresher base, coconut milk, and freeze-dried strawberry pieces) is now a regular menu item, but relentlessly creative Starbucks customers have found plenty of ways to shake it up.

The Pink Drink is great for vegans since it's made with coconut milk by default, but it's common to make the drink a bit more indulgent by swapping out coconut milk for whole milk or heavy cream. There are lots of ways to mix this drink up, and a popular variation includes the addition of sweet cream and four pumps of vanilla syrup.

For another variation fans call the White Chocolate Pink Drink, order the pink drink with three pumps each of white chocolate mocha sauce and vanilla. Note that white chocolate mocha sauce contains dairy, so skip it if you're looking to keep the drink as vegan-friendly as possible.

You might be wondering if the Starbucks secret menu consists of nothing but sugar-packed frozen treats. (We don't blame you.) While there are tons of frappuccino variations, for those of you who are looking for something less sugary, there's a secret menu item that's actually meant to improve your health. The Medicine Ball is a hot, tea-based beverage that includes cold-fighting ingredients like citrus, honey, and mint. Honey and lemon are known to soothe sore throats, sharp spearmint opens nasal passageways and reduces nausea, and green tea contains a ton of health benefits.

This is a secret menu item that is totally uncomplicated to order since the Medicine Ball is basically on the Starbucks menu under the name of Honey Citrus Mint Tea. It started out as a secret menu item created and enjoyed by under-the-weather customers seeking comfort in a cup, and it's proven to be delicious and nutritious!

If you're interested in making it at home (or want to make sure your order is perfect), a Starbucks barista shared the Medicine Ball recipe with Mashed.

It doesn't matter what the calendar says, because autumn starts when Starbucks rolls out their pumpkin spice drinks and ends when they run out. (This usually means from the end of August through early January). It's a shame that pumpkin spice flavored items aren't available throughout the year, but we sure do savor them when they are around. Pumpkin spice products have skyrocketed in popularity over the years, and Starbucks has added lots of pumpkin-flavored menu items aside from the original Pumpkin Spice Latte, including the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, which is one of the company's most popular drinks.

A pumpkin spice-flavored frappuccino does exist on the Starbucks menu, but the secret menu version takes the pumpkin pie taste to the next level. The recipe goes like this: Order a Pumpkin Créme Frappuccino with heavy cream (if dairy isn't your thing, swapping cream for oat milk will still ensure your drink is frothy and creamy), add cinnamon dolce syrup (we'd recommend two pumps for grande and four for venti), cinnamon powder, and cinnamon dolce sprinkles on top. You'll be sippin' on this pie-in-a-cup all autumn long.

Simple churros are deceptively simple treats. Essentially, it's fried dough topped with a mixture of cinnamon sugar. Most of the time, people enjoy these treats while walking around a fair or a theme park, but you can make them at home or enjoy them in different forms. For example, at Starbucks, you can get a churro-flavored frappuccino with a reasonably simple Starbucks secret menu recipe.

Begin by ordering a venti Caramel Frappuccino. If you're looking for some caffeine, you'll want that to be a regular frappuccino, but if you are hoping for something more milkshake-like, go for the créme type. Then, add three pumps of the cinnamon dolce syrup and request that your barista add caramel inside the cup and on top of the whipped cream. To finish the whole thing off, ask for a sprinkling of cinnamon.

The resulting drink will be pretty sweet. So only order this one if you want a near dessert-like beverage. If you're looking to cut the sugar in half, you can also request that your barista split the pumps of sweetener between caramel and cinnamon dolce. Rather than having the full complement of six pumps of caramel as well as extra pumps of cinnamon dolce, you'll have something a bit less saccharine.

Taylor Swift's album "Midnights" had fans both old and new in an absolute chokehold after its release. One of the songs, "Lavender Haze," also makes for the perfect drink inspiration, especially since Starbucks' secret menu is no stranger to beverages with colors as their name. The Pink Drink even found its way onto the official menu. Only time will tell if Lavender Haze is destined for the same level of fame.

For this one, order an Iced Passion Tea with soy milk. When the soy milk gets added to the pink herbal tea, you'll end up with a milky-looking lavender color. Be sure to also request six pumps of vanilla in place of regular sweetener for a venti, four for a grande, and three for a tall. This drink is sweet, creamy, and just a little floral with that herbal tea. Plus, the Lavendar Haze is another one that has no caffeine since herbal tea is naturally decaffeinated.

Betty White's star certainly shone brightly as a legendary personality. Many of her fans know her for her sweet personality and the delightful presence she brought to the screen. She felt like America's grandmother to some extent. To pay homage to this truly golden girl, get yourself a Starbucks pop culture drink called the Betty White Frappuccino for something perfectly comforting and decadent.

You'll begin by ordering a White Mocha Frappuccino in either the coffee or créme form. We tend to prefer coffee-based frappuccinos, but the créme one is the perfect base of a drink safe for a delicious, kid-friendly Starbucks drink. To that frappuccino, add a pump of hazelnut and one of vanilla. Then, ask for some caramel crunchies on top. If you're opting for no whip cream, those crunchies can also be added right on top of the drink. Be aware that the Betty White Frappuccino is very sweet, so it will feel more like a milkshake than a coffee drink.

We love breakfast, but there's one thing about it that has always struck a chord with us. Most people don't enjoy dessert as part of their earliest meal. For whatever reason, it seems to be drilled into us from the time we are very little. Perhaps that's why there's something extra fun about enjoying a rich coffee drink as part of your morning ritual. For those of us that never stopped wanting a little dessert with our pancakes, we offer the Chocolate Mousse Cold Brew from Starbucks.

This secret menu offering begins with a Chocolate Cream Cold Brew as the base drink. Then, ask your barista to line the cup with caramel drizzle and put some on top of the drink as well. Ask for some cookie crumble on top of that for a little bit of crunch and texture. We love this drink because it is both decadent and isn't too different from the base drink. Often, secret menu items derive so much from the original offering that they become nearly unrecognizable. This, however, remains something familiar but nevertheless extra special.

Among the many delicious drinks Starbucks offers is that of a Strawberry Lemonade. This lemonade is traditionally made with ice, strawberry puree, and lemonade before it is all blended up. Of course, you can take the blended lemonade concept and include many different flavors. The Honey Peach Freeze secret menu item, for example, takes lemonade and adds a bunch of delicious flavors to it.

If you are ordering in person, begin by requesting a Blended Lemonade with peach juice added to it. Ask that your barista add one pump of honey blend sweetener, and then drizzle some agave to the sides of your cup before topping it all off with vanilla sweet cream. Be sure to note that the sweet cream should top off your drink rather than get blended in with the lemonade and juice. If you are ordering over the app, you'll need to augment the blended Strawberry Lemonade by replacing the strawberry puree with peach juice. Currently, there is no option for a base drink of lemonade, so this is the best way to make it work in the app.

Like the TikTok Chai, this TikTok White Mocha may become our favorite way to order a delectable white mocha drink. Of course, we absolutely love white mocha as is, but the many additions this recipe has makes this one even better.

Start by ordering a venti Iced White Mocha, but remove the whipped cream on it. Request that your barista add five pumps of caramel syrup and a hefty drizzle of caramel around the inside of your cup. Then, put vanilla sweet cream on top with an extra drizzle over the top of the cream. We love whipped cream on our mochas, but the sweet cream cold foam in place of the whipped cream makes this one that much more smooth and milky. If you're looking for something ultra sweet, this is it, but if you want to take the sweetness load down a little more, consider cutting down the pumps of white mocha a little. After all, you are adding caramel to it, too, so it's plenty sweet enough.

Oreo may be milk's favorite cookie, but it also makes a delicious frappuccino. There are a few variations of the Oreo Frappuccino, and most of them vary due to the availability of ingredients and seasonal offerings. No matter how you make it, as long as there is some combination of black, white, and cookie crumble, you are certainly onto something. Of course, the Oreo cookies won't come on top, but you could bring your own for a terrific social media picture.

For a basic Oreo Frappuccino, order a White Mocha Créme Frappuccino and ask your barista to include java chips. This is a pretty good fallback mixture in case other seasonal offerings aren't available, so we like this one a lot. If you have access to a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, that also makes a great base for a delicious Oreo drink. For this one, go ahead and substitute white mocha sauce in place of regular mocha sauce. This will give you a little bit of a lighter drink. We also like this one because it is coffee based rather than cream based. ​​

When a secret menu drink finds itself on the official menu, it's achieved the goal all secret menu drinks long for. If that drink is then used as a base drink for another secret menu drink, then perhaps it reaches some other status altogether. However you categorize it, we hope you'll try the Pink-a-Colada, a super secret menu item.

For this one, you'll begin by ordering the Pink Drink. We recommend ordering a venti to make all the numbers work well with this one. Ask for it without the inclusions. Then, add four pumps of the delicious and tart pineapple-ginger syrup and ask your barista to top it off with vanilla sweet cream cold foam made with both strawberry puree and two pumps of that same pineapple ginger syrup blended right in. This sweet cream should go on top of the drink after it has been shaken up rather than shaken with the drink. The resulting pale pink beverage has a delicious pineapple, coconut, and strawberry flavor that will have you forever giving up the original Pink Drink for this new alternative.
