Sometimes I wonder how many Starbucks drinks I’ve had in my lifetime. Thankfully I’ve slowed down, but at some points in my life I was buying 3-4 drinks at Starbucks a week.
My favorite drink back in college was an iced skim caramel macchiato. One day I got fancy and learned how to order an iced skim upside down caramel macchiato, which is when they melt the caramel with the espresso instead of adding it on the top of the iced drink, keeping the caramel solid.
As Starbucks’ prices have increased over the years I’ve realized that buying a regular coffee or a tea is a lot more affordable but boy do I miss my fancy drinks.
Yesterday I saw an awesome article about Starbucks’ “secret menu” and it got me thinking, what are some of the other secret drinks out there?
Here are some of the secret drinks I’ve been able to find…
- Raspberry Cheesecake: White chocolate mocha with a few shots of raspberry
- Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino: Vanilla bean frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup
- Dirty Chai latte: Chai lattee with a shot of espresso
- Nutella: Cafe Misto with a shot of both chocolate and hazelnut syrup and a drop of real caramel
- Apple Juice Orange Blossom: Tazo Orange Blossom Tea steeped in steamed apple juice (with no water)
- Peppermint Green Tea: Iced green tea with a few shots of peppermint
Do you have a secret drink that isn’t on the menu? or do you order a drink a certain way?

I’ve never heard of those before – only the ones that used to be on the menu but aren’t anymore, like the Marble Macchiato, the Raspberry Passion Tea Lemonade, and the Iced Double Shot. Oh and the Toasted Coconut frapp they used to have – yummmm.

I MISS THE ICED DOUBLE SHOT!
I am a big french vanilla fan, but raspberry cheesecake sounds delicious!!!

I had no clue about the upside down trick! Good to know
My drink is an Awake Tea with cold soymilk added. But that’s only when I’m in a hurry or on the road. I make them at home mostly. I didn’t know about the secret menu. They all sound so tasty!!

I can never say no to a Peppermint Mocha (hot)….even in the summer! I love the Salted Caramel too!
Oh man, the salted caramel is uber good!

I’ve tried the “dirty chai latte” although I don’t remember liking it. The peppermint green tea sounds fab! There are probably a million more, but I keep it simple and with as few calories as possible. Americano or skim misto are some classics. I think I need a Starbucks cleanse though because I drink it too much too!

I never really got into Starbucks drinks. I typically just get a coffee (exciting, huh?). I DO love getting their ice coffee in the summer. But, I love your “insider list” you have going on there. Some of those drinks sound so good- but any form of latte from Starbucks usually upsets my stomach for some reason. I’ll make Greg order them and just steal a few sips from him…

What I love in Starbucks is their Dirty Chai latte. Another one is the mocha flavored ice cold coffee..
