Starbucks Secret Menu: 8 Custom Drink Orders to Copy

A nickname isn't a recipe. Starbucks introduced featured secret-menu customizations in its app in July 2025, but that doesn't turn every internet drink name into a menu item. Here are eight ingredient-first orders: two based on Starbucks' published launch recipes and six Regulars custom variations. Choose a base drink, then copy the changes. Ingredients and app options depend on your selected U.S. store.

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Cookies-on-top cold brew

Based on Starbucks' July 2025 Cookies on top recipe: vanilla, sweet cream foam and cookie crumble. The topping may not be stocked; this isn't a promise of a current app feature.

Grande Iced Cold Brew

  • • 2 pumps vanilla syrup total
  • • Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
  • • Cookie crumble topping, if available
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

White mocha brown sugar shaken espresso

Inspired by Starbucks' Just add white mocha launch recipe. One pump of white mocha is our chosen customization, not an official standard amount; keep the base drink's brown sugar and cinnamon.

Grande Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

  • • Add 1 pump white chocolate mocha sauce
  • • Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Caramel-drizzle iced white mocha

Regulars custom recipe. Start with the official White Chocolate Mocha; the sauce amount below replaces its usual amount, while the drizzle is an addition.

Grande Iced White Chocolate Mocha

  • • 2 pumps white chocolate mocha sauce total
  • • No whipped cream
  • • Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
  • • Caramel drizzle
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Vanilla bean affogato-style Frappuccino

Regulars custom recipe using Starbucks' published affogato suggestion. This starts with a crème Frappuccino, then adds espresso poured over the top; it is not a blended coffee Frappuccino base.

Grande Frozen Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino

  • • Add 1 espresso shot, poured over the top affogato-style
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Cinnamon-vanilla oatmilk latte

Regulars custom recipe. Two different syrups, one pump each, are the chosen amounts for this latte—not a claim about the standard build.

Grande Iced Caffè Latte

  • • Oatmilk
  • • 1 pump vanilla syrup total
  • • 1 pump cinnamon dolce syrup total, if available
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Dirty iced chai

Regulars custom recipe. Dirty means espresso added to chai. Ask for the extra shot explicitly; this still contains tea and isn't made caffeine-free by a decaf espresso swap.

Grande Iced Chai Latte

  • • Add 1 espresso shot
  • • Oatmilk
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

Strawberry iced matcha

Regulars custom recipe, not an official drink name. Ask whether strawberry puree can be added to the matcha; if the app doesn't offer it, confirm at the counter instead.

Grande Iced Matcha Latte

  • • Add strawberry puree, if available; confirm amount with barista
Make it mine

Starbucks · Guide recipe

White mocha cold brew with foam

Regulars custom recipe. Cold Brew is the base, not Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew, so white mocha is an addition rather than a replacement for built-in vanilla.

Grande Iced Cold Brew

  • • Add 1 pump white chocolate mocha sauce, if available for this drink
  • • Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam
Make it mine

How to order these without fumbling

  • Say the size, temperature and real base first: "Grande iced White Chocolate Mocha, two pumps white mocha total, no whip, Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam and caramel drizzle."
  • Total means replace the normal quantity; add means put that ingredient on top of the existing recipe. Our custom pump choices aren't Starbucks standard recipes.
  • In the Starbucks app, select a store and base drink, then use only the changes it offers. Not every counter request appears in the app, and copying a Regulars recipe doesn't fill a Starbucks cart.
  • Starbucks announced rotating featured secret-menu drinks in the Rewards tab in July 2025. Check the current app: the launch recipes aren't guaranteed to be featured today.
  • If a syrup or topping is missing, skip it or ask about a substitution before paying. Old viral recipes may rely on discontinued ingredients.
  • For a hot version, choose a hot latte, mocha or chai base. Don't ask for a hot shaken espresso, hot cold brew or hot Frappuccino; those preparations aren't interchangeable.
  • A milk swap alone doesn't make these dairy-free. White mocha sauce, sweet cream foam and whipped cream require ingredient checks; ask the store about allergens and shared equipment.

Questions people ask

Does Starbucks have an official secret menu?

Starbucks launched a rotating selection of featured secret-menu customizations in the Starbucks app on July 14, 2025, for Rewards members at participating stores. That is different from the much larger collection of unofficial online nicknames. Check the current app for its featured selection.

How do I order a Starbucks secret-menu drink?

Give the size, temperature, actual menu base and each change. For example, ask for a Grande iced Chai Latte with oatmilk and one added espresso shot rather than relying on the nickname dirty chai. The recipe cards here keep nicknames separate from the order you copy.

Can I order these custom recipes in the Starbucks app?

Only when your selected store and base drink offer the required options. Featured Starbucks secret-menu drinks may arrive preconfigured through the app, but Regulars cannot prefill a Starbucks cart. Missing options need a store conversation, not an assumption that every recipe works in the app.

Are Pink Drink and Medicine Ball secret-menu drinks?

Those names are often included in secret-menu lists, but Pink Drink and Honey Citrus Mint Tea are official menu drinks. Order the official base by name and specify any changes; Medicine Ball is a nickname, not a medical benefit.

How much do secret-menu drinks cost?

The price depends on your store, size, base and charged additions. Foam, sauces and espresso changes can affect the total. Check the selected store's app or ask before ordering; these custom recipes don't have a universal price or nutrition figure.
