Question

Is it okay to show them the recipe on my phone so they can make the drink?

Community Answer

It would probably be easier for everyone, and safer for your phone, if you wrote it down and either read them the ingredients, or just handed them the piece of paper.

Question

Is there a recipe for the rainbow frappe?

Community Answer

Yes! A rainbow frappe starts with a strawberries and creme frappuccino made with orange refresher instead of strawberry purée. Then you would add one pump of peach syrup, one pump of raspberry syrup, one scoop of vanilla bean powder, three pumps of crème base, and ice. Blend and enjoy!

Question

How do I order a Frappucino at Starbucks?

Community Answer

For a regular Frappuccino, you would simply tell the barista what size you wanted (tall, grande, or venti), and what flavor you want, i.e "I would like a tall caramel Frappucino." If you want your Frappucino made with the creme base instead of coffee, make sure to tell them that.

Question

Is a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher a "secret menu" drink? If it is, how do I get it?

Jol13

Community Answer

No, the mango dragonfruit refresher is on the standard Starbucks menu. To get it you just ask for a mango dragonfruit refresher in the size you would like. A version with lemonade and the dragon drink, which is the mango dragonfruit refresher with coconut milk, are also on the standard menu so you can ask for these as well.

Do you save money ordering this way?

Torpi

No. Adding additional syrups, etc, a key feature of the "secret menu" drinks, actually makes your order more expensive.

Question

How do you order a custom drink from Starbucks?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

It's actually super simple, but you need to make it easy for your barista to make it happen for you. Luckily, there are tons of "secret" menus you can use to make the exact drink that you want. Look up a secret Starbucks menu online and find the drink you want. Order a base drink and read off the additions to your barista. Follow the directions exactly so your barista has accurate instructions. They'll put together the order and make your drink. So while you can't simply order a "secret" custom drink, you can easily read off the ingredients and directions for your barista to follow.

Question

Why does Starbucks have a secret menu?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

Technically, Starbucks doesn't have a secret menu. They're actually made by fans! Any "secret" menu items out there were put together by folks who love Starbucks and came up with their own tasty concoctions. You can find the items and order your own drink by looking online for Starbucks secret menus. They'll give you all of the ingredients you need to order to make the drink. Your barista will likely not know about the "secret" drink, because they aren't taught to make them. But by giving your barista easy to follow directions from the secret menu you find online, they can put together the specialty drink for you.
