Starbucks Updates Their Beloved And Not-So-Secret ‘Secret Menu’

The Seattle-based coffee brand is once again making headlines after its hidden menu was made public.

Customers know Starbucks for using various elements to craft their signature drinks, such as syrups, cold foam, and refreshers, to create their own customized beverages. This became a popular mainstay and was dubbed Starbucks’ secret menu. These special modifications could be made through the app or in-store.

What was once a secret for the company is now making significant changes, with Starbucks itself participating in the secret menu. In a recent press release, the company announced that customers can access their secret menu by opening the Starbucks app.

To access their secret menu, customers can go to the offers tab to select the drink and be added to your cart.

“Inspired by the popular Starbucks, not-so-secret menu broadcast channel on Instagram, the Starbucks secret menu in the app allows Starbucks reward members to easily order the featured popular drink customizations at participating stores,” Starbucks stated in the release.

There are currently only four drinks on the secret menu. These drinks include lemon tea and pearls, Dragon Fruit Glow-Up, Cookies on Top, and Just Add White Mocha.

Now, to further describe these four secret drinks, the first drink, “Let me see your pearls,” contains Starbucks raspberry, black tea, and lemonade. The second drink, “Dragonfruit,” is a blend of peach juice. Not only is it blended, but it’s also topped with vanilla, sweet, cold cream foam.

The third drink, Cookies on Top, consists of a cold brew with vanilla syrup, vanilla sweet, cold cream foam, and cookie crumble topping. The Final drink, “Just add white mocha,” features white mocha chocolate sauce with vanilla, sweet, cold cream foam. Not only that, but all of these are added to Starbucks, such as brown sugar, oatmilk, and shaken espresso.

Not only is Starbucks publicizing a secret menu, but it is also hosting a contest. From the week of July 14 to the 20, customers and workers can submit their customizations to the secret contest page, with fans able to cast their votes between August 18 and the 20th, the winner will be announced on Starbucks official Instagram.

There will be four finalists, and their drinks will be featured on the secret menu from August 18 to August 25. Each winner will receive a cash prize, with the overall winner receiving $25,000.
