Starbucks is notorious for its wide offering of customizations – with all of the various syrups, toppings, milk options, add-ins, and modifications available for each drink, the creations you can concoct are seemingly infinite. That’s where the Starbucks secret menu comes in: it’s a not-so-secret, officially unofficial, never-ending compilation of those seemingly infinite concoctions.
As if the entire Starbucks menu wasn’t plentiful enough, customers have even more options hidden within this secret menu. So what’s on it, exactly? From chilly Frappuccinos to soothing hot drinks, the answer is…pretty much anything you can imagine.
These “secret” recipes (which you can find all over the internet) come into being in many different ways. Some are created by baristas or released by Starbucks itself; others are pop culture-inspired drinks or creations that go viral on social media; most are simply out-of-the-box beverages created by everyday Starbucks customers that have caught on with those in the know.
Some drink orders have come and gone due to discontinued ingredients (like those made with Starbucks raspberry syrup), while others have moved into permanent residence on the Starbucks menu (like the infamous Pink Drink or the Medicine Ball, which is now on the menu as Honey Citrus Mint Tea).
To narrow things down a bit, we’ve gathered a top 100: 100 of the most popular, clever, and delicious secret menu beverages, made with staple Starbucks ingredients that you’re likely to find at any location in the US – along with instructions on exactly how to order each specially crafted drink (in a Grande cup size, unless otherwise noted). Pick your poison, and order away.
Note: Some secret menu items rely on ingredients that are only available seasonally at Starbucks. Seasonal items are marked with an asterisk.

How do you order from the Starbucks secret menu?
There’s no official secret menu, but rather a compilation of specifically customized drink orders that exists within the community of Starbucks loyalists and circulates on the internet with many variations. To order a secret menu creation you’ll need to know how the beverage is made and specifically customize your drink accordingly.
Did Starbucks discontinue raspberry syrup?
Yes, unfortunately Starbucks stopped offering raspberry syrup in early 2023. Since many secret menu items were made with the addition of this syrup, popular drinks like the Cotton Candy Frappuccino and Caribbean Refresher are no longer able to be ordered at Starbucks stores.
Do Starbucks baristas know the secret menu?
While some baristas are most likely aware of some popular secret menu items, or some may have even created some of those items themselves, there are so many secret menu creations in existence that your local Starbucks barista won’t know how to make them all – so you’ll most likely have to order with customizations rather than order by the secret menu name.
