The Starbucks menu features a variety of yummy drinks. Some of these have been popularized by TikTok, and others are just included on the menu. Secret menu items are usually very flavorful and sweet, and always have a specific theme. Some Frapuccinos and coffees have been based on TV series, movies, seasons, candy, and almost anything else that you can think of. Ordering these drinks always creates a fun adventure, especially because the unique flavors taste delightful. Here is a review on some of the delectable drinks which Starbucks has to offer. The Strawberry Creme, Rolo, Pumpkin Pie, and the Butterbeer Frappuccinos are all featured, as well as the Iced White Chocolate Mocha.
The Strawberry Creme Frappuccino
This is a delightful, flavorful drink. As the name suggests, this frappuccino is flavored with strawberries and creme. The strawberry flavor is delicious, and is perfect with the creme and ice of the frappuccino. This frappuccino tastes similarly to the pink drink, another popular drink. To order this drink, you must ask your barista for the ‘Strawberry Creme Frappuccino Blended’. The drink comes with whip cream and a strawberry sauce drizzle, which makes it even more delicious. This drink deserves a 9/10, because even though it tastes really good, and I love the strawberry flavor, it could use a little something more to make it a 10/10.
Iced White Chocolate Mocha
This drink is a delicious coffee drink with chocolate and cream flavor. It blew up on TikTok, which made it a popular order for a couple of weeks. The chocolate flavor compliments the coffee really well, which makes it very flavorful. However, this drink is very sweet, which makes it hard to finish. Even though this flavorsome drink has a variety of flavors, I would give it a 6/10, solely due to how sweet it is. To order this drink, you must ask your barista for an Iced White Chocolate Mocha, and they will prepare this drink for you.
The Rolo Frappuccino
This is one of Starbucks less heard of drinks on the menu. The drink is based off of Rolo’s, which are caramel filled chocolates made by Nestle. I highly recommend this drink if you enjoy caramel, as the drink includes caramel blended in as well as drizzled on top. The drink is absolutely delicious and it includes the perfect blend of chocolate and caramel. This drink is delicious any time of the year, but it works best as a pick me up on a bad day. If you are ever sad or having a rough day at school, I suggest you head to your nearest Starbucks and order the Rolo Frappuccino. To order this delicious beverage ask your barista for a vanilla bean creme frap with caramel and java chips blended in. To make your drink more fun, ask for whipped cream and caramel drizzled around the cup. Overall, I give this drink a 10/10 because I enjoyed it so much, and it immediately became a part of my go-to Starbucks order!
The Butterbeer (Harry Potter) Frappuccino
This is an extremely rare Starbucks drink that I definitely suggest you try at least once. If you are as big of a Harry Potter fan as I am then this drink is totally worth it and super cool. I didn’t expect to enjoy the toffee nut syrup so much, but it really brings the drink together and matches extremely well with the caramel and vanilla. I could totally imagine Butterbeer tasting exactly like this frappuccino, because it gave me such a pleasant feeling, almost like drinking a small slice of heaven. I think this drink represents fall and it’s feelings, so I recommend you get over to Starbucks and try it as soon as possible. To order, ask your barista for a vanilla bean creme frappuccino, with toffee- nut syrup and caramel syrup blended in (1 pump for tall, 2 pumps for grande, 3 pumps for venti.) To make the drink extra cool, ask for whipped cream and caramel drizzle to top it all off. In all, I give this drink a 9/10 because it is the perfect blend of toffee- nut and caramel syrup giving the drink a sweet, fall kind of taste. This drink surprised me because I did not think that the toffee nut would be as delicious as it is, especially mixed with caramel. I ended up enjoying the Harry Potter Frappuccino tons more than I expected and I recommend it to everyone, especially my Harry Potter stans out there.
