11 Totally Secret Starbucks Drinks You Need To Try

You know you want a Caramel Snickerdoodle Macchiato.
Whether you love or hate Starbucks, there’s no denying the mother of all coffee shops has some pretty delicious drinks on offer besides their standard cappuccinos, lattes, and Americanos.
I for one am a sucker for their Java Chip Frappucino, which in itself is more a dessert than a beverage and will therefore remain a naughty delight I treat myself to every now and then (just like this delish chocolate lava cake).
While Starbucks’ well-known ‘standard’ menu is enough to keep any coffee addict happy for years, there’s a secret menu that will make your usual Grande Skim Caramel Latte order seem boring and useless. That’s right, there’s an abundance of drinks you can order at Starbucks and you had no idea they even existed.
Now that you know, all that’s left to do is decide which of these 11 seemingly too-good-to-be-true concoctions to try first…
