How to Order Secret Starbucks Drinks

While many of these secret menu drinks can be ordered from the Starbucks app or for delivery, some can’t; when in doubt, order these drinks in person so the barista can clarify and make the necessary customizations. All of the prices and recipes are based on Grande size; you’ll have to adjust for smaller or larger cup sizes. And note that Starbucks prices are on the rise, so you may face different prices in store.
