Secrets of Starbucks’ Menu

Secrets of Starbucks Menu
While most everyone has seen that familiar green sign that sparks the attention of caffeine addicts and lovers around, not everyone has heard of Starbucks’ secret menu items such as the “Raspberry Cheesecake,” “Chocolate Dalmatian” and many more intriguing concoctions.“Most of the time I just get a White Mocha or an Americano,” senior Jonathan Starks said. “I rarely change it up. Those (off-the-menu drinks) sound exciting, I’d actually like to try one.”

Typically, Starbucks lovers prefer to stick with a usual drink, but the off-the-menu items will perhaps be enough of a curiosity to cause people to branch out.

“I always got the Caramel Frappuccino with extra caramel,” senior Jordan Shaw said. “But I heard about the Zebra (Mocha) from a friend who read about it in a book.”

In total, Starbucks offers 3,034 frappuccino ideas from the mix-and-match syrups and blends, as well as 29,855 coffee and espresso ideas to customize. Thousands more drinks are offered than the typical ‘tall,” “grande,” or “venti” medium roast coffees, or frappuccinos, but not everyone realizes it. Those who do go looking for a fun, rare drink are in for a delightful treat.

“The craziest (frappuccino) I’ve heard of might be the Captain Crunch,” senior Abby Ploch said. “Or it might be the Green Eye.”

Although these crazy drinks are not on Starbucks’ printed menus, there are lists on online blogs, printed in books, and at the seekers’ fingertips.

Here are just a few choices from a list of thousands of frappuccino options:
Chocolate Dalmatian: Java chips and chocolate chips in a white chocolate mocha.
Raspberry Cheesecake: White chocolate mocha with a few shots of raspberry, whipped   cream, and white chocolate sprinkles.
Captain Crunch: Also called the Crunch Berry, this drink is just the strawberries and cream frappuccino with hazelnut syrup.
Chocolate Creme Frappuccino: Chocolate syrup with chocolate flavoring, blended with a frozen coffee.
Cake Batter Frappuccino: Vanilla frappuccino with vanilla bean and hazelnut flavoring.  Nutella Frappuccino: Cafe Misto with a shot of both chocolate and hazelnut syrup.
Three C’s: Cinnamon Dolce latte with caramel and chocolate mocha syrup.
Green Eye: Three shots of espresso, with any regular drip coffee.
