3 Secret Starbuck Drinks You Have To Try

There's no better way to ring in summer than with a cold drink.

40

If you find yourself craving a cold drink this summer and a Starbucks is within reach, here are three "secret drinks" to order that you won't find on the regular menu:

1.The PINK Drink

This drink has been up and down Instagram and has quickly claimed the name of the new summer drink everyone must try. It's the strawberry açai refresher with coconut milk instead of water. Adding coconut milk will cost you about 60 cents more, but I promise it's worth it. This drink quickly became my favorite summer drink. It has a sweet taste, almost like liquid candy. That sounds disgusting, but I promise it's good. When I first tried it, I compared it to gummy candy and liquid happiness. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and everyone from my 10-year-old niece to my older manager has grown a love for this new pink drink. Due to its quick popularity, even Starbucks baristas are dying to try it. You can even switch out the frozen strawberries for blackberries—it tastes the same, it just makes your drink look different.

2. White Youthberry Granita

Last Tuesday, Starbucks came out with their sunset menu, and this drink is a big part of it. If you're a Starbucks fiend like I am and you literally eat, sleep and breathe Starbucks, you can get your sunset fix for $3 by showing your morning receipt. I'm not that fond of the Youthberry granita. It reminds me of a slushy you get from the ice cream truck—practically just ice with syrup on top. The taste was quite interesting; it tastes like an alcohol mixer, so I guess it's great. My reaction has been the only negative one so far, but it just reminds me of the slushies from the Mr. Softee ice cream truck. So close your eyes and sip and you'll imagine yourself on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean watching the sun set. If that's too tropical, you can kick back and imagine you're back in one of your childhood days.

3. Birthday Cake Frappuccino

Remember last year when Starbucks was celebrating their 20-year anniversary and they came out with this amazing new drink that was only out for a weekend? The birthday cake frappuccino—it tasted and looked like heaven with pink whipped cream and a wonderful indescribable taste. The birthday cake frappe was the one that got away until now. Here is how to order a birthday cake frappe at your Starbucks: Ask for a vanilla bean frappuccino with hazelnut, then ask for raspberry infused whip cream. Not every barista will be so happy about the raspberry infused whipped cream, but it tastes the same with or without the pink coloring. This is my favorite frappe because it tastes just like cake. If you haven't tried it try it now, I promise it's worth the extra work.

Next time you visit Starbucks give these cool drinks a try, and if you love them, try one in a "trenta."

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
