Starbucks Secret Menu Holiday Drinks Created By Tasting Table Staff
BY Dani Zoeller
Chocolate Covered Hazelnut
To replicate this drink created by Dani Zoeller, start with a White Chocolate Mocha and swap out half the eponymous syrup pumps for hazelnut.
Then, request vanilla sweet cream for the milk instead of 2% and choose Blonde Espresso Roast. You'll get a nutty drink with a blanket of white chocolate and a warm vanilla coat.
Melted Snowflake
Gina Zammit’s drink was created by tweaking a Snowflake, a Starbucks secret menu drink that combines a hot vanilla latte with two pumps of peppermint syrup.
Start with a Snowflake base, ask for the vanilla latte to be half-sweet, and add vanilla sweet cream cold foam. You can also use a plain latte or coffee base for reduced sweetness.
Iced Gingerbread Chai Latte
Created by Taylor Murray, this one is a sweet, refreshing Iced Chai Latte with two shots of espresso, crowned with the seasonal gingerbread cold foam.
The warm spices of the chai work well with the gingerbread spices in the cold foam. Every layer of flavor complements the other, and the drink feels indulgent but not overbearing.
