I’ve been trying out a lot of new drink recipes at Starbucks lately. When life gets buy, I enjoy treating myself to a quick drive-through for something sweet and caffeinated. While I do share a lot of my drinks on Instagram, not all of them make it on there.
Today, I’m rounding up a few of my most recent orders that were definitely worth trying. One of them is in my regular rotation now, it’s that good. So, if you liked my first post with 6 Starbucks secret menu drinks to try, you are going to love this follow-up post with 5 more!
5 Secret Menu Starbucks Drinks To Try:
1. Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Esprsso with Horchata Cold Foam:
If you haven’t heard, Starbucks has introduced their new Horchata Shaken Espresso. While I do love a good cinnamony drink, I happen to like the original brown sugar shaken espresso better. Add some vanilla or horchata flavored cold foam to that drink, though, and you’ve got a 10/10. It’s my favorite new combo and I have been super addicted.
Here’s how to order: Can I get a venti brown sugar shaken espresso with horchata cold foam, please?
If they don’t know how to do horchata cold foam, ask for one pump of horchata added to your cold foam. And yes, you do have to pay a little extra for that.
2. Horchata Frappuccino:
I had this awful inflammation on the roof of my mouth recently. I burned it when drinking hot tea and it took days – days – of throbbing pain to finally feel better. During that time, I was living on cold fluids and soft foods. This horchata frappuccino was a treat for myself during a day when it was particularly painful. The cold drink soothed the injury, and the sweet flavor was a nice kick. I’m not going to say I liked it better than caramel frapps, which are my current fave, but it was good enough to recommend.
Here’s how to order: Can I get a grande coffee frappuccino, add horchata sauce, add whip?
Note: I believe they’re releasing an actual horchata frappuccino soon, in which case, you can order that off the menu.
3. Iced White Hazelnut Latte:
Wow, this was delicious! Tasted sort of like a white chocolate Nutella! It was easy to order, too. I was inspired by a recipe I saw on Pinterest, but I reduced the pumps of sweetener, and honestly it was definitely sweet enough. I would not increase then unless you like it very, very sweet. I asked for vanilla cold foam instead of whip, because I like how it blends in with the coffee better.
Here’s how to order: Can I get a venti iced white mocha with oatmilk, using 2 pumps of white mocha sauce, two pumps of hazelnut syrup, add vanilla cold foam?
4. Caramel Shaken Espresso:
This was the winner of them all. I love this. I ordered a caramel shaken espresso with vanilla cold foam and caramel drizzle. It is a sweet explosion of caramel! You can even add salted caramel cold foam instead of vanilla for even MORE caramel flavor!

5. Oatmeal Cookie Chai:
If you love all of the creative chai flavors at Dutch Bros, then try recreating your favorites at Starbucks! This one was very sweet, so if I did it again, I would reduce the syrups by half each. The vanilla cold foam adds sweetener and the special concentrated chai that Starbucks uses is also pre-sweetened. So, keep all that in mind when adjusting the pumps to your liking 🙂
Here’s how to order: Can I get a venti iced chai latte with 2 pumps brown sugar syrup, 2 pumps white mocha syrup, oatmilk, vanilla cold foam, and caramel drizzle?
Note: next time I get this, I would reduce the syrups to one pump each or skip the vanilla cold foam.
