Warm Sugar Cookie | Starbucks Secret Menu

Let’s paint a picture. It’s a cold night, and you’re craving something sweet and chocolaty. What could be better than a hot chocolate and some warm sugar cookies?

This is no ordinary hot chocolate though. It’s a sweet, delicious, melt in your mouth beverage that mimics the taste of fresh out of the oven sugar cookies. Two in one? We love a time saver. You don’t have to worry about any crumbs either!

How to order:

  • White Mocha Hot Chocolate
  • Add hazelnut syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)
  • Add vanilla syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)
  • Sprinkle some raw sugar on top

 
**If you prefer your beverage less sweet, the recipe still works well with half the added syrups.

Year Round Eggnog Latte | Starbucks Secret Menu

year round eggnog latte

Year Round Eggnog Latte | Starbucks Secret Menu

The no-more-eggnog-latte scare has brought to light just how much of a cherished tradition it is. The holiday beverage has been a part of Starbucks seasonal menu since 1986, and for many of us is a beloved treat we look forward to all year round.

With so much backlash over the missing holiday menu item, Starbucks has decided to sprawl into recovery mode and bring back the Eggnog Latte yet again this season! Having the ingredients delivered to stores will take time though, up until November 17th or even later to reach all locations.

We have a solution though!

Although Eggnog is a seasonal ingredient, we’ve had several Baristas write in with a taste-a-like recipe that luckily, can be ordered all year round! While it isn’t an exact dupe, the flavors are similar and it could tide you over until the Eggnog arrives, or after the holidays are over if you aren’t quite ready to let go yet.

As with the Eggnog Latte, you can order this recipe hot, iced or in Frappuccino form!

How to order (Latte):

  • Chai Latte
  • Add caramel syrup (1 pump tall, 2 grande, 3 venti)

How to order (Iced):

  • Iced Chai Latte
  • Add caramel syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 grande, 4 venti)

How to order (Frappuccino):

  • Chai Frappuccino
  • Add caramel syrup (2 pumps tall, 3 grande, 4 venti)
  • Top with whipped cream and cinnamon dolce sprinkles

If you’re in the mood for something fruity and looking for a change from the usual Strawberry or Orange Mango Smoothie, the Berry Forrest Smoothie is a delicious choice!

It’s full of flavor and is perfect for a morning starter or after the gym pick me up. Don’t have time to grab a bite? No problem, pick up one of these to tide you over!

Here’s the recipe:

  • Strawberry Smoothie
  • Made with passion tea instead of milk
  • Add 2 pumps of Raspberry Syrup
  • Add berries (2 scoops, 3 if you like it extra fruity)

Big thank you to shift supervisor YJ T. of Linfield for this wonderful recipe! If you have a secret recipe you’d like to share, send it to starbuckssecretmenu [at] gmail.com or any of our social media outlets and it could be featured on the site!

Starbucks Franken Frappuccino | A Halloween Secret!

franken frappuccino

We love that Starbucks is promoting a secret Halloween beverage! It really shows that the company is embracing creativity and existence of the secret menu in Starbucks culture. Kudos to you Starbucks, we love you even more now!

The Franken Frappuccino is fun, aptly named and most importantly easy to order since it’s a Starbucks official temporary menu item. The best part of all though is that since none of the ingredients are seasonal, you can order one all year round if you fall in love with it!

In case you do run into a Barista that needs a bit of guidance though, we’ve included the recipe for future reference.

How to order:

  • Green Tea Frappuccino with
  • Add peppermint syrup
  • Add white chocolate sauce
  • Add java chips
  • Top whipped cream and mocha drizzle

The Franken Frappuccino is actually extremely similar to a Starbucks Secret Menu favorite, the Thin Mint Frappuccino. The only different seems to be the replacement of white chocolate sauce for mocha sauce. Try it both ways if you feel like experimenting!
