SECRETSTARBUCKS’

MENU

Verdict: Better than the normal mocha... It's like a war between bitter and sweet.

The Zebra Mocha Recipe: Half regular, half white chocolate mocha

Verdict: Won’t make one’s list of regulars... But it kinda does taste like Cap'n Crunch...

The Cap'n Crunch-Berry Frappaccino

Recipe: Strawberries and Cream Frappaccino with a pump of Toffee and Hazelnut syrups

Verdict: Tastes good... Not really like Nutella though... Experiment with the number of pumps...

The Nutella Recipe: Cafe Misto with 2 pumps of chocolate, of hazelnut, and of caramel

Verdict: Favorite! It really tastes like a creme brûlée. Kinda sweet, though…

The Bootleg Brûlée Recipe: White mocha with 2 pumps of toffee nut syrup and caramel drizzle

Verdict: AWESOME! But expensive at $6. A must try!

Banana Creme Pie Frappaccino

Recipe: Vanilla Bean Frappacino with 2 pumps of hazelnut and vanilla syrups and a banana, whipped cream on top

Verdict: Doesn't look pretty, but tastes good. Slight tea aftertaste is a bit weird.

Thin Mint FrappaccinoRecipe: Green Tea Frappacino with java chips and 2 pumps of mocha and peppermint syrups

Verdict: It's good. Different. Not overly sweet. Doesn't really taste like cheesecake, but gets the essence of it.

Raspberry CheesecakeRecipe: White Mocha with 2 pumps of raspberry

Verdict: Good stuff. Especially if you don't want something overly sweet but with a twist. The mocha drizzle on top gives you just enough chocolate.

Marble Mocha Macchiato

Recipe: Made like the Caramel Macchiato but with a white chocolate base (instead of vanilla) and mocha drizzle (instead of caramel)

Verdict: This. Is. Amazing. I wish it wasn't so complicated to order because I'd get it all the time. Really tastes s'mores-e.

S'Mores Frappaccino

Recipe: Java Chip Frappaccino, 2 pumps Cinnamon Dolce syrup, 2 pumps Toffee Nut syrup, whipped cream blended in, and topped with whipped cream and Cinnamon Dolce sprinkles

Verdict: Tastes Twix-like. Needs more caramel. It's just okay... Good... Just nothing special.

Twix FrappaccinoRecipe: Caramel frappuccino with extra caramel, 2 pumps hazelnut syrup. Java chips and whipped cream blended in. Topped off with mocha drizzle.
