Starbucks "secret" menu
Not sure if you have already seen the list but here are some "off the menu" drinks that you can get at Starbucks. Thought I would post for the coffee lovers in here in case you didn't know!
Biscotti Frapuccino
Buy a biscotti and ask the barista to blend it up with any flavor of frapuccino. It blends into tiny cookie chunks that add a delicious little crunch to your frozen coffee.
Short Drink
The sizes the ?mainstream menu? gives you are ?Tall,? ?Grande? and ?Venti,? but if you say you want the ?short? size to any Starbucks drink you can receive a less expensive and smaller sized drink. Although this size is in their cash register, they don?t put it on the menu as a marketing strategy to make customers buy larger and more expensive drinks.
Short cappuccino
A ?Short? cappuccino is a more Italian style cappuccino. Basically this cappuccino leaves out the gallons of milk Starbucks puts in for the more traditional amount of dairy that the drink originated with.
Red Eye
A shot of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Black Eye
Two shots of espresso in regular drip coffee.
Green Eye
Three shots of espresso in regular drip coffee. Not for anyone with a heart condition or road rage issues.
Poor Man?s Latte
Order an Iced Americano with no water and half ice, then you can add free half and half at the little milk and condiments table. This is the same drink as a Breve Latte but costs much less. Just watch out for the classy police. This is definitely not the most chic thing to be caught doing by your mother-in-law or boss.
Poor Man?s Chai Latte
Order a Chai Tea Misto with extra foam, two tea bags, and half cinnamon-half vanilla syrup. This is basically the same drink but almost half the price.
Cafe au Lait
If your French and looking for something nostalgic of your homeland order the Misto without foam for a classic French coffee drink.
French pressed coffee
You can choose any coffee they sell by the bag and have it served in a French press. For coffee snobs, this is one of the best way to appreciate all of the flavors of the coffee you chose.
Chocolate Cream Frapuccino
Chocolate syrup and chocolate flavoring. Lots and Lots of chocolate! Do not underestimate the amount of chocolate in this frozen blended coffee. Only for the true chocolate lover die hard.
Chocolate Dalmation
The Chocolate Dalmatian adds java chips and chocolate chips to a white chocolate mocha for that extra something.
Cake Batter Frappuccino
You can lick the edges of the cup afterwards too. The Cake Batter Frappuccino is a vanilla frap with both vanilla bean and almond flavoring
Re: Starbucks "secret" menu
OMG that sounds awesome!
I wonder if the blended strawberry lemonade is on the menu.
My friend told me about it and it's SO delicious! I hadn't heard about it before then.
