5 Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks You Must Try This Summer

POPSUGAR

This summer is hot, hot, hot! If you're in a super humid or an extremely dry climate, you still know the feeling of the raging heat. Everyone's favorite way to cure their overheating is an ice cold drink! And America's favorite and most popular coffee company is most definitely Starbucks! They even offer more drinks than what is on their already overwhelming menu. There are Starbucks "secret menus" that are drinks not offered on the normal menu, but can be made with all Starbucks ingredients. Here are five must try secret menu drinks to beat the summer heat.

1. The Pink Drink

To achieve this drink, ask your barista for:

-Strawberry Acai Refresher

-Ask for Coconut milk instead of water

-It comes with strawberries, but you can also ask for blackberries to make the drink sweeter!

The taste is compared to Strawberry/Raspberry milk tea.

2. Thin Mint Frappuccino.

To achieve this Frap, ask your barista for:

-Green Tea Frappuccino with a creme base

-Add java chips

- Add or top with mocha syrup (1 pump tall, 2 pumps grande, 3 pumps venti)

- Add peppermint syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 pumps grande, 2 pumps venti)

This drink is obviously meant to taste like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie. A mix of mint and chocolate, but not too sweet!

3. Banana's Foster Frappuccino.

How to achieve:

- Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

- Add a banana

- Add caramel syrup (2 pumps for grande, 3 for venti)

- Line the cup with caramel drizzle (like for a caramel macchiato)

-Top with whip cream and a caramel drizzle

This taste like your favorite Banana's Foster dessert. Vanilla, banana and caramel!

4. Caramel Snickerdoodle Macchiato.

To achieve this cinnamon, caramel delight:

- Iced Soy Caramel Macchiato, upside down

- Add Vanilla Syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 pumps grande, 2 pumps venti)

- Add Cinnamon Dolce Syrup (1 pump tall, 1.5 pumps grande, 2 pumps venti)

This should taste like a caramel snickerdoodle with hints of vanilla!

5. The Purple Drink.

And if the Pink Drink wasn't the new "it" drink, here comes the purple drink:

- Passion Iced Tea

- Soymilk

- Blackberries

- Vanilla Syrup

Taste a lot like the pink drink, just more of blackberry taste instead of strawberries and raspberries!

Try them out, you won't be disappointed!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
