Starbucks Secret Menu: Butterbeer Frappuccino

We can’t exactly visit Hogsmeade (although we wish we could), so here’s the next best thing!

Stop into your local Starbucks and order a Butterbeer Frappuccino!

Here’s the recipe (for a grande):

  • Optional: Line cup with caramel drizzle
  • Ask for a Creme Frappuccino base. Don’t skimp on the fat by asking for skim or 2% milk as whole milk is required for the right consistency
  • Add 3 pumps of caramel syrup
  • Add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup
  • Top with caramel drizzle

Adjust the recipe based on size or if you prefer a beverage that’s lighter on the sweetness.

Definitely a must try for any Harry Potter fan!

Cinderella Latte | Starbucks Secret Menu

The Cinderella Latte first started making rounds last year thanks to Instagrammer and former Barista Happiestteesonearth. Created because of the nod to Cinderella’s pumpkin coach, the recipe has picked up steam this Pumpkin Spice season thanks to glowing reviews!

It’s a simple modification but one that packs a mighty change in flavor that PSL lovers are saying gives a nice balance between Pumpkin Spice and white mocha.

And the best part? It tastes awesome in hot, iced and blended Frappuccino form!

The Cinderalla Latte has become a favorite at Disneyland Starbucks but lucky for us, it’s available at all Starbucks locations while Pumpkin Spice is in season. Simply order it following the recipe below!

Here’s the recipe:

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte
  • Sub half the pumpkin Spice syrup with white mocha, ie. For a grande, 2 pumps of pumpkin spice, 2 pumps of white mocha

Tie Dye Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Tie-dye has been all the rage this summer and Starbucks is right on trend with their new Tie Dye Frappuccino!

Starting Wednesday July 10 you can pop into your local Starbucks and try the new color psychedelic beverage. It features yellow red and blue colors swirled together, is topped with vanilla whipped cream and dusted with yellow red and blue powder.

The Tie Dye Frappuccino is classified as a tropical crème Frappuccino according to Starbucks but word on the street is it tastes like creamy banana.

Wonder where the crazy colors come from? All natural ingredients with the use of turmeric, red beets and spirulina! Super cool and great for the health conscious. Antioxidants here we come!

Unfortunately like all good things, the Tie-Dye Frappuccino will only be available for a limited time at Starbucks locations in the US and Canada. Officially until July 14th, but it’s also while supplies last so find those less frequented Starbucks locations  in your area to enjoy these crazy colors for even longer!

Rainbow Refresher | Starbucks Secret Menu

0

Chances are if you have an Instagram account, you’ve seen a post or 2 kicking around of the Starbucks Rainbow Refresher. The accurately colored rainbow concoction excited fans everywhere in the midst of the taste the rainbow drink craze.

You’ve heard of the Pink Drink, Purple Drink, Blue Drink, Green Drink, Pink Purple Drink and Orange Drink and now the Rainbow Drink is the newest addition to the bunch.

Or is it? You’ve heard the phrase, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is? Well if that’s what you were thinking, you hit the nail right on the head. The Rainbow Drink isn’t in fact made out of “layers of milk-based Butterfly Pea Tea, Matcha Tea, Mustard, Peach Tea and Passion Fruit Tea” that various Instagram captions read. It was all *drumroll…………. an April Fool’s Prank brought to life by 5 food bloggers.

The drink itself as pictured wasn’t even made by a Starbucks Barista but instead concocted out of milk and food coloring, albeit in a Starbucks store at least. And while it certainly looks enticing, we wouldn’t want to drink it with the knowledge that it’s just milk that was sitting out with layers upon layers of food coloring added to it.

So there you have it, after all the reposts, likes and hype, this is a Starbucks Secret Menu recipe that doesn’t actually exist. And there goes a collective sigh by every Starbucks Barista out there!

Enjoy the photos though! They are remarkable and continue to grace Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter feeds everywhere!

Juniper Lemonade | Starbucks Secret Menu

While the Juniper Latte and Frappuccino’s that were released earlier this winter were met with some hesitation, “a drink that tastes like a tree?..hmm” we found that most who gave it a whirl were pleasantly surprised  with the flavor profile.

Unlike anything on Starbucks’ current menu, the Juniper beverages feature a “hint of juniper and sage, an evergreen aroma and citrus notes”.

And of course with every new flavor addition, comes new secret recipes! If you’re not feeling like a latte or a Frappuccino, the Juniper lemonade might just hit the spot with a taste a winter but with a pop of color and familiarity of spring and summer drinks to come.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Lemonade
  • Add juniper syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 grande, 4 venti)
  • Add classic syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)

If you prefer slushie version, the Juniper Lemonade also works really well blended with Frappuccino Creme base and topped with pine citrus sugar!

That’s to barista Caity for sharing this recipe with us! Available seasonally while Juniper syrup lasts. If you have a secret recipe you’d like to share, send it in to Starbuck SecretMenu [at] gmail.com and it could be featured on the site!

Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

What’s better than red velvet cake and cinnamon rolls? Well that would be red velvet cinnamon rolls! Put the two together and you have a match that was meant to be.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Mocha Frappuccino made with half regular mocha sauce and half white mocha sauce
  • Add cinnamon dolce syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)
  • Add raspberry syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)

Fourth of July FrappuccinoFourth of July Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

In celebration of the 4th of July, we have a new secret Frappuccino recipe!

Celebrate this patriotic holiday with this red, white and blue (we know it is greenish, so let’s just pretend!) concoction.

Grab one and enjoy the parades, fireworks and festivities this historically significant US holiday has to offer.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Start with a Crystal Ball Frappuccino base for first layer (**or sub with berries instead of crystal ball mix)
  • Middle and top is a Cool Lime Refresher made with coconut milk
  • Top with Passion tea to make the 3rd layer red

**Note that the Crystal Ball Frappuccino has been discontinued so while your local Starbucks may not have the ingredients left for the first layer, a substitution of  berries mixed with a crème based Frappuccino or with the coconut milk cool lime refresher will create a purple/blue layer.
