The Sweetart Refresher | Starbucks Secret Menu

Candy fans, this one is for you! SweeTarts are loved their sweet and sour taste, multi-faceted colors and their fun easy to eat nature.

This SweetTart Refresher mimics the flavor of the candy favorite, making it the perfect option to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Be warned though, it’s made to be very sweet and tart so if you prefer your drinks less sweet try it with half the amount of syrup and extra ice.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Orange valencia to the first line
  • Lemonade to the second line
  • Add raspberry syrup (1 pump tall & grande, 2 pumps venti & trenta)
  • Add normal amounts of classic syrup according to size
  • Optional: Blend into slushie form

Chinese New Year Candy Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Chinese New Year Candy Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Whether or not you celebrate Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year or any variation of it, you probably recognize these holiday candies wrapped in red and gold.

They’re given out and eaten as a sign of good luck, and aptly named “lucky candy” or “good luck candy”. They’re strawberry flavored, but if you’ve had them before you know they’re not a traditional strawberry candy. The exact flavor is hard to describe if you’ve never had one, but the taste is pleasant.

Starbucks has always embraced holidays and Chinese New Year is no exception. Special Year of the Sheep merchandise is offered this year at Starbucks locations all around the world including special edition gift cards, mugs, pastries and even beverages like the Blossoming Peach Tea in Canada.

Even if your local Starbucks doesn’t have any special Chinese New Year holiday items, you can still join in the fun and try a Chinese New Year Candy Frappuccino!

Here’s the recipe:

  • Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino
  • Add classic syrup (½ pump tall, 1 pump grande, 1 ½ pumps venti)
  • Add peppermint syrup (½ pump tall, 1 pump grande, 1 ½ pumps venti)

Starbucks Secret Menu: Raspberry Caramel Macchiato

starbucks raspberry caramel macchiato

Starbucks Secret Menu: Raspberry Caramel Macchiato

We love this drink solely on how fantastic the colour looks, though it helps that it’s delicious too!

A Raspberry Caramel Macchiato is made the same way as a regular Caramel Macchiato, but subs raspberry syrup for the vanilla syrup found on the bottom of the drink.

That one substitute gives the drink a completely different flavour, but makes it easy to order as well.

So from bottom to top it goes, raspberry syrup, ice, milk, espresso, then caramel on top!

Here’s the recipe:

Starbucks Seahawks Frappuccino | Superbowl XLIX 2015

starbucks superbowl frappuccino

Starbucks Seahawks Frappuccino celebrating Superbowl XLIX

We love when Starbucks gets into the spirit by offering special limited edition holiday drinks, like the Halloween edition Franken Frappuccino or the Christmas Candy Cane Frappuccino!

So we’re not surprised to see that the Superbowl is any different. It is like a National Holiday for many after all!

The Seahawks Frappuccino is being promoted in Washington and Oregon and can be ordered at participating stores until Monday, but if you want to try your luck ordering in any of the other Starbucks locations in the US or around the world, it’s a:

  • Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino
  • Blueberries added
  • Topped with green tea matcha-infused whip and a dust of matcha

The Frappuccino comes out blue and green for the Seahawks colors which is fitting as Starbucks originated in Seattle, Washington. The beverage comes courtesy of a Starbucks partner in Kent, Washington. Woohoo for recognizing the creativity of Baristas!

We can’t wait to see what Starbucks officially promotes for the next holiday! Valentine’s Day perhaps?

Valentine’s Day Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

Valentine’s Day Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu

While this Frappuccino features no seasonal ingredients, it certainly has the look of a Valentine’s Day Frappuccino with its perfect shade of pink!

It also features two of Valentine’s Day most classic flavors, chocolate and a fruity berry.

Some Starbucks locations may feature a pink whipped cream for Valentine’s Day but if not, regular whipped cream works just as well!

You can order this Frappuccino whenever you want though, special occasion or not! We promise it tastes fantastic all year round.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino
  • Made with white mocha instead of regular mocha
  • Add raspberry syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 grande, 4 venti)

Iced Raspberry Latte | Starbucks Secret Menu

Iced Raspberry Latte | Starbucks Secret Menu

While it’s no secret that you can customize a Starbucks Latte with your choice of flavored syrup, it’s usually vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, cinnamon dolce and mocha that are mentioned in association.

Don’t forget that Starbucks has several other choices of syrup, and even more if seasonal beverages are being offered like fall or holiday drinks!

One flavor that might not come to mind right away is Raspberry. Raspberry and espresso might not be a combination you think of naturally, but somehow the flavors in this latte come together really well! That and the color of the drink is awesome.

Here’s the recipe:

  • Iced Flavored Latte
  • Made with raspberry syrup
