Starbucks Secret Menu
By Alexis L.
Love Starbucks and want to try something new? Try these Holiday favorites! (part two)
These drinks are not drinks on the actual Starbucks menu, so the baristas will not know them by name and will tell you they don’t have that. You have to know the ingredients and tell the barista that, not the name of the beverage.
Please note that some things are seasonal and you cannot get them year-round.
