Marshmallow Crème Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Marshmallow Crème Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Although marshmallows are often thought of as a class of their own, marshmallows are actually a type of candy.

Loved for their gooey, bouncy texture, marshmallows are most commonly used in baking or as an add-on to desserts and beverages. Rice Krispy Treats, s’mores and hot chocolate with marshmallows are just a few of our favorites!

But while this fluffy treat tastes great as an ingredient, we’ve been known to sneak a few and eat them all on their own. It’s just so hard to resist the melt in your mouth sweetness. And you won’t have to with this Marshmallow Crème Frappuccino!

Marshmallows not included but you could always bring your own and add them on top of your whipped cream for a treat and a very photo worthy Frappuccino.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
  • Add white mocha syrup (3 pumps tall, 3.5 grande, 4 venti)
  • Add vanilla syrup (1 pump for a tall, 1.5 for a grande, 2 for a venti)

Caramel Pick-Me-Up Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

caramel pick me up frappuccinoCaramel Pick-Me-Up Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

If you’re in need of a pick-me-up and want to try something stronger than your regular coffee based Frappuccino, try it with espresso shots instead!

Most people will argue that espresso shots taste stronger than the Frappuccino roast that is used in all of Starbucks coffee based frappuccinos.

However, keep in mind that adding hot espresso to a cold drink changes the consistency of the Frappuccino quite a bit. It’s all about personal preference but we love trying new things!

The sweet caramel flavor and walls in this caramel pick-me-up offset the bitterness of the ristretto shots wonderfully.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Vanilla Bean Frapuccino
  • Add caramel syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)
  • Caramel walls
  • Add ristretto shots (1 tall, 2 grande and 3 venti)
  • Top with whipped cream and caramel drizzle

If you’ve ever had Bubble Tea or Boba Tea you’re probably familiar with Milk Tea in a variety of flavors.

Bubble Tea was originally a Taiwanese tea-based drink, but has since evolved to include a huge variety of fruits, milk, tapioca and other jelly add-ons.

While you won’t find any tapioca pearls being served at your local Starbucks, you can enjoy this Starbucks version of Raspberry Milk Tea that has all the right flavors and tastes fantastic!

Here’s the recipe:

  • Iced Black Tea made w/ Half & Half instead of water
  • Add an extra pump of classic syrup
  • Add toffee nut syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 grande, 2 venti)
  • Add raspberry syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 grande, 2 venti)

Green Vanilla Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Green Vanilla Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the occasion with a green Frappuccino!

If you’d like to try something different than the usual Green Tea Matcha Frappuccino, here’s a slight twist on a classic Frappuccino. The matcha powder is kept to a minimum so it doesn’t overpower the vanilla flavor, so expect a lighter shade of green than you would normally see with the Green Tea Frappuccino.

Both are tasty options to celebrate the green filled holiday.

Or you could go for a completely different flavor and order a Shamrock Frappuccino!

Here’s the recipe:

  • Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
  • Add matcha powder (1 scoop tall, 1.5 grande, 2.5 venti)

Starbucks Secret Menu: Caramel Snickerdoodle Macchiato

This Macchiato is ordered upside-down, which is great way to mix all of the flavors in this beverage and also a great idea if you don’t like the different flavors that come with the regular layered Macchiatos.

It’s sweet but not too sweet and has a delicious blend of caramel, cinnamon and a bit of vanilla.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Iced Soy Caramel Macchiato, upside down
  • Add Vanilla Syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 pumps grande, 2 pumps venti)
  • Add Cinnamon Dolce Syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 pumps grande, 2 pumps venti)

Spring is right around the corner and the weather is starting to warm up. So, out with the scarves and in with the Frappuccinos!

If the regular iced passion tea isn’t quite enough for you, try this creamy Passion Tea Frappuccino. Your favorite tea flavor with a twist!

If you’re not a dairy person, you could also have your iced passion tea blended and drink it like a slushie. Because let’s be honest, everyone loves a slushie every now and then.

We love Frappuccino’s ourselves though. Can’t say no to that delicious whipped cream!

Here’s the recipe (made for a grande):

  • Milk to the bottom black line
  • Passion tea to the middle black line
  • Ice
  • 3 Pumps classic syrup
  • Add creme base
  • Blend and top with whipped cream

  • Add extra mocha syrup
  • Add extra mocha chips
  • Blend
  • Top with extra whipped cream
