Starbucks has announced many, many major changes this year, from an impressive new lineup of cold foam varieties to new grocery store products that have fans skipping the drive-thru. But the siren giveth and the siren taketh away. Several other changes this year have not impressed fans, from the temporary disappearance of a beloved bakery treat to new price hikes on existing fan-favorite orders.
However, the coffee empire just announced more news today that should make diehard fans very happy: an all-new secret menu. Here’s everything we know about these exclusive sips.
The ultimate Starbucks flex is hacking the menu and staying in the know on all the new trending social media drink orders. The coffee chain has tried to keep up with those ever-changing trends, and now it’s making some Starbucks secrets not-so-secret with a new off-menu-inspired lineup.
Located in the “Offers” tab in the Starbucks app, you’ll find a bevy of new drink customizations for coffee drinks, lemonade, and even a signature Refresher upgrade. Available now, Starbucks just launched four new orders to kick off the new secret menu:
- Cookies on Top: A cookies-and-cream riff on a classic Cold Brew with two pumps of vanilla syrup, Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam, and a cookie crumble topping.
- Dragonfruit Glow-Up: A Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher blended with Starbucks’ peach juice blend and then topped with Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam.
- Lemon, Tea & Pearls: A black tea and lemonade mash-up with added raspberry-flavored popping pearls.
- Just Add White Mocha: An upgrade to the fan-favorite Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso with two pumps of White Chocolate Mocha Sauce and Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam on top.
If you want to try one of these new orders, you may want to act fast. It’s unclear how long these specific drink twists and coffee upgrades will be available, but according to a Starbucks press release, the “Offers” tab on the app will “regularly feature new beverage customizations.” In fact, we already know that four all-new customizations will roll out in August.
Starbucks is currently asking its biggest fans for ideas on new off-menu drink orders that will appear in the app later this summer. (And if you win, Starbucks will pay you five grand.) This week, customers and employees alike can submit ideas to Starbucks, and four winning drink customizations will be featured in the app from Aug. 18 to Aug. 25.
So if you don’t feel like gatekeeping your custom Starbucks order any longer, you could share it and see it on the official menu. With so many crafty fans and near-infinite syrup and juice combinations, we can’t wait to try the next batch of secret drinks.
