1. STARBUCKS’
MENU
SECRET

2. The Zebra Mocha
Recipe: Half regular, half white chocolate mocha
Verdict: Better than the normal mocha...
It's like a war between bitter and sweet.

3. The Cap'n Crunch-Berry
Frappaccino
Recipe: Strawberries and Cream Frappaccino
with a pump of Toffee and Hazelnut syrups
Verdict: Won’t make
one’s list of regulars...
But it kinda does
taste like Cap'n
Crunch...

4. The Nutella
Recipe: Cafe Misto with 2 pumps of
chocolate, of hazelnut, and of caramel
Verdict: Tastes good... Not really like Nutella though...
Experiment with the number of pumps...

5. The Bootleg Brûlée
Recipe: White mocha with 2 pumps of
toffee nut syrup and caramel drizzle
Verdict: Favorite! It really tastes like a creme brûlée.
Kinda sweet, though…

6. Banana Creme Pie Frappaccino
Recipe: Vanilla Bean
Frappacino with 2 pumps
of hazelnut and vanilla
syrups and a banana,
whipped cream on top
Verdict: AWESOME! But expensive at $6. A must try!

7. Thin Mint Frappaccino
Recipe: Green Tea
Frappacino with
java chips and 2
pumps of mocha
and peppermint
syrups
Verdict: Doesn't look pretty, but tastes good. Slight
tea aftertaste is a bit weird.

8. Raspberry Cheesecake
Recipe: White Mocha with 2 pumps of raspberry
Verdict: It's good. Different. Not overly sweet. Doesn't
really taste like cheesecake, but gets the essence of it.

9. Marble Mocha Macchiato
Recipe: Made like the Caramel Macchiato but
with a white chocolate base (instead of
vanilla) and mocha drizzle (instead of caramel)
Verdict: Good stuff.
Especially if you don't want
something overly sweet
but with a twist. The
mocha drizzle on top gives
you just enough chocolate.

10. S'Mores Frappaccino
Recipe: Java Chip Frappaccino, 2 pumps
Cinnamon Dolce syrup, 2 pumps Toffee Nut syrup,
whipped cream blended in, and topped with
whipped cream and Cinnamon Dolce sprinkles
Verdict: This. Is. Amazing. I wish it wasn't
so complicated to order because I'd get
it all the time. Really tastes s'mores-e.

11. Verdict: Tastes Twix-like.
Needs more caramel.
It's just okay... Good...
Just nothing special.
Twix Frappaccino
Recipe: Caramel
frappuccino with
extra caramel, 2
pumps hazelnut
syrup. Java chips
and whipped
cream blended in.
Topped off with
mocha drizzle.
