After atran replied to Chris’s request for Starbucks drinks recommendations with something called a “Blueberry Muffin,” I googled “Starbucks secret menu.” Lo and behold, there are a bunch of drinks that actually sound pretty delicious! This site lists the secret menu drinks that don’t sound so exciting, but here are the other ones to try (Chris!):

Biscotti Frappuccino: Buy a biscotti and ask the barista to blend it up with any flavor of frapuccino. It blends into tiny cookie chunks that adds a delicious little crunch to your frozen coffee.

Captain Crunch: Strawberries and creme frappe with a pump of caramel, two pumps of toffee, one pump of hazelnut, and two scoops of chocolate chips.

Neopolitan Frappuccino: Ask for a strawberries and cream frappucino with some vanilla bean powder and a pump of mocha.

Raspberry Cheesecake: Order a white chocolate mocha (iced, hot, or as a frappe) and add a few pumps of raspberry

For a chocolate turtle flavor: Any drink that has mocha, caramel, and toffee nut.

For a French vanilla flavor: Any drink that has half toffee nut and half vanilla.

Blended strawberry lemonade: Basically a strawberry lemonade frappucino.

Oreo frappucino: Ask for a double chocolate chip frappe with white mocha syrup instead of the regular mocha.

Tuxedo mocha: Order a regular mocha with half white chocolate and half regular chocolate. This is also known as the zebra mocha.

The Nutella: Order a Cafe Misto with a pump of chocolate, a pump of hazelnut with caramel drizzle. For the sweet toothed people, you can also ask for caramel drizzle inside the cup.

Super Cream Frappucino: Ask the barista to blend some whipped cream into the drink so that the drink will be more smooth than icy. This works especially well for the mocha frappuccino.

Three C’s: Order a cinnamon Dolce latte with a pump of caramel and a pump of chocolate mocha syrup.

Chocolate Pumpkin: Order a pumpkin spice latte with chocolate syrup for a drink that tastes just like pumpkin chocolate chip bread. It also tastes great in frappuccino form.
