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."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
