5 Of The Most Drool-Worthy Drinks I've Handcrafted As A Starbucks Barista

From Tik-Tok inspired drinks to barista creations, there is never a shortage of combinations to try at your local Starbucks!

Hello everyone! I will be telling you all about the drinks that have been the most popular at my store in Estero along with their recipes. I love working for a company that allows our customers to customize their drinks in the tastiest ways.

It also allows for my fellow baristas and I to get creative when we get requests for "Surprise Me" drinks.


1. TikTok's Popular Sweet Drink

@starbucks

So the iced coffee usually comes with classic, unless requested otherwise, but this is a TikTok inspired drink. And let me tell you that while it is very sweet, I most definitely recommend it if you've had a sweet tooth lately.

You ask for your own TikTok-inspired coffee by saying, "Hi, can I get an Iced Coffee with White Chocolate Mocha, Vanilla Sweet Cream, with/without classic." That last part depends on whether or not you want extra sweetener in the iced coffee.

2. Sunset Drink

The way that this drink is made causes it to appear like a refreshing sunset. Just make sure you ask for no inclusions and ensure it is not shaken so that the ombre color can contrast! It makes for a sweet, refreshing drink! Just ask for a "Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with no dragonfruit inclusions, topped with passion tango iced tea, not shaken."

3. Strawberry Green Iced Tea

@starbucksbahamas

This is one of my partner's favorite drinks, and when I tried it, I totally loved it! It's not too sweet, and it's a super simple drink for baristas to make. For this one, ask for a "Sweet or unsweetened Green Iced Tea with Strawberry Acai Refresher instead of water."

4. Blended Lemonade

@mistyyangel

One of the best-frozen drinks at Starbucks, in my opinion, is the blended strawberry lemonade. However, sometimes people want to shake it up, so I would recommend you ask for a "Lemonade with pumps of raspberry, a peach infusion, or a guava infusion."

It's a bit sweet, but it's very yummy and you can have something cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. If you want it with a slushy-like consistency make sure that you are asking for it to be double-blended when you order.

5. Caramel Apple Spice

@little_miss_tats

Personally, while this is my favorite drink on the list, the ingredients can appear to be a somewhat weird combination. So, a caramel apple spice basically consists of steamed apple juice, cinnamon dolce syrup pumps, and it is topped off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

However, on hot summer days (especially living in Florida) I like to change it up and make it iced! You can ask for a "Cold apple juice (in whatever size you'd like,) topped off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle."

I never pump in the cinnamon dolce for my personal drinks, but if you like it sweeter, then go for it! I also tend to add cinnamon dolce topping on top of the whipped cream because it just hits the spot! To me, it tastes like something you'd get from a carnival in the fall!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
