![]() By: Jessica Flores Many people love coffee and specifically Starbucks. From kids to adults many spend their money on one of the most expensive coffee shop here in San Jose that I know of. The Starbucks menu has some pretty basic options but it doesn’t please everyone's sweet tooth. When first discovering Starbucks I discovered what they call “the Starbucks secret menu” and it caught my attention. While not being much of a secret, many people still don’t know about all the interesting flavors are carried on the website. The options vary from Frappuccinos to some crazy beverages to the classic Starbucks refreshers. When first discovering the secret menu the first drink that I wanted to try was the Cotton Candy Frappuccino. Back then this drink was one of the most popular on the secret menu so much so that it is now on their mobile order app as an option on their regular menu. This drink consist of a vanilla bean frap with pumps of raspberry syrup. This syrup causes the drink to turn pink. This drink is for those of you who have a major sweet tooth. Not only does it have the sweet taste from the vanilla powder in the frappuccino but along with the syrup added to the drink. The only downfall to this drink is that for the smallest size cost $4.25 and the biggest size cost $5.25 with that if you are up for the adventure why not give it a shot. On the other hand if you are more of a chocolate person , I would definitely recommend l the Ferrero Rocher Frappuccino or the Kit-Kat Frappuccino. The drinks taste very similar to the actual candies, so much that if you were to try them you would probably think that they add actual candy bars but they don’t. This frappuccino consists of a java chip frappuccino added mocha syrup along with hazelnut syrup. The price varies from $4.75 to $5.75. Ferrero Rocher chocolates are my favorite so there was a little bit of a bias there so I asked my cousin to try both as well. My cousins exact words were, “ Oh my god, this tastes so good it tastes exactly like the candies” but with that not everyone likes sweetness of any kind. Now for those who don't like sweet drinks they have option number 3. I would have written the name for the third option but it is a very controversial name. This drink is one of the strongest caffeinated drinks that are offered on the Starbucks secret menu. This drink consists of is 4 shots of espresso with 4 pumps of white chocolate syrup on ice in a grande cup. While you can get all of this distributed into a bigger cup so it isn’t as strong. For those who don’t like their drinks being strong this drink isn’t going to be for you. Espresso itself is very caffeinated and with this drink not containing milk to dilute it just causes for a very strong drink. With the strength of this coffee comes a great price to pay, for just a medium size drink it costs $7.15 cents. My best friend herself said that this drink was way too strong for her liking. While many people enjoy the fact that there is a secret menu with more options others, like for example Ms.Rios say, “I think that the idea of a secret menu is dumb”. From the sweetest of drinks to the strongest the starbucks secret menu has it all. Not only does it have frappuccinos they also have hot chocolates, refreshers, macchiatos, and lattes. While many like sticking to classic drinks others like to change it up in their everyday routine. Depending on that you enjoy in your everyday life I would recommend taking a look for yourself.
