Here's the "recipe".  (You will have to read the recipe to the barista... it isn't an official SBUX drink)

    I'm afraid to order anything custom at Starbucks.  Most of my baristas have a hard enough time making a proper PSL or Creme Brulee Latte.  If I give special instructions, I'm afraid I'll get a cloying mess of artificial sweetener.

    I tried the hot version today, and all I can say is meh.

    Plus, a grande is $5.

    I'll stick with PSL.

    It was pretty close to butterbeer, I was actually impressed, but it wasn't spot on.  SO it's definitely tasty and it's close enough.  I'll probably order it again!

    I tried the cold butterbeer yesterday and though it tasted okay, it was more like a butterbeer frappuccino than a straight up butterbeer.  I don't think I would get it again.  BUT, it was still fun to play Harry Potter and I had a Starbucks groupon burning a hole in my pocket anyways.  Now I'm inspired to try to recreate butterbeer at home.

    Me too... but only because I'm afraid that I won't use the right lingo! 

    It took me a long time to feel comfortable saying, "Grande Caramel Frapp. Light - double blend"  lol!

    We have a SBUX right by the office so I may go with a couple coworkers during a lighter traffic hour & hand them the recipe!  :)

    OMG that Starbucks Secret Menu website has an orange creamsicle frappachino.  I may have just gained 20 pounds.

    This is exactly what I did.  Not for my fear of them screwing up, but for my lack of being able to remember the exact ingredients.

    I purposely don't use their lingo. No one is getting me to say Grande. I don't even care.

    Me too! I just ask for medium. One time the barista was like "You mean grande?". She got the raised eyebrow look from me and a "Yeah, a medium." reply back.

    I purposely avoid their. I just order an espresso. Half the time they look at me like I have two heads. And then I end up with an espresso served to me in a 16oz cup.  X_X

    One time when I actually got the little cardboard espresso cup with the Starbucks logo on it on the way to a conference, everyone was looking at it and kept asking (genuinely curious), "What did you order?!" "Umm... an espresso?"
