Halloween is one of the few times I’m happy to make a regular coffee run feel a little theatrical.
Starbucks is one of the easiest places to do that because the menu is built for customization.
So I’m looking at the Starbucks Halloween drinks I’d try first, especially if I wanted something seasonal in hand on October 31st.
12 Starbucks halloween drinks (Spooky orders to try)
1. Frappula
The Frappula is Starbucks’ version of Frappuccino meets Dracula, even down to the “bloody” vampire marks on top.
What makes it memorable is the build: mocha sauce first, then whipped cream on the bottom, which makes the first sip feel a little offbeat.
Then comes white chocolate mocha drizzle and, depending on your location or preference, strawberry or raspberry syrup.
This Starbucks Halloween drink only has about 5mg of caffeine, so it’s a great Starbucks option for kids.
If I wanted more kick, I’d ask for an extra shot of espresso, which changes the whole mood of the drink.
Unfortunately, it’s only on the Starbucks menu from October 27 th through the 31 st , so you’ll have to set a reminder on your calendar for this one.
In many locations, the core ingredients are available year-round, so if you can describe it to your barista, you can usually order it anytime.
2. Wednesday Addams Drink
Also known as the Wednesday Addams Cold Brew, this secret menu option has been become a viral Starbucks TikTok drink.
It is a Venti-sized cold brew with 6 pumps of mocha syrup and Starbucks cold foam mixed with a scoop of vanilla bean powder (sometimes with extra vanilla syrup on top).
The drink has 30 grams of sugar and 170 calories, which is pretty manageable for something this sweet and dessert-like.
It also has a hefty 310 mg of caffeine, so I’d personally keep it for earlier in the day rather than late afternoon.
3. Jack O Lantern Frappuccino
The Jack O Lantern is a fun twist on Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino if you want something more dessert-like than the usual latte.
It’s a custom order, but the build is simple enough that it’s easy to remember and explain at the counter.
Simply ask for a Grande Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino blended with one scoop of java chips and topped with mocha drizzle.
It also works really well with Starbucks toffee nut syrup.
Honestly, I’d keep it as a once-in-a-while drink. With over 440 calories and 68 grams of sugar, it lands firmly in treat territory.
4. Werewolf Frappuccino
The name is silly, but it fits. The Werewolf Frappuccino is built to sound as dramatic as it tastes.
It’s another sweet custom Frappuccino, and the first thing I notice is how quickly it reads as dessert rather than a coffee break.
To order the Starbucks Werewolf Drink, you’ll need to ask your barista for a Grande Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino with extra mocha sauce on the bottom of the cup.
Instead of cookie crumbles and mocha drizzle on top, ask for strawberry puree, which changes the whole look of the drink.
The base Frappuccino has 480 calories, 55 grams of sugar, and a hefty 25 grams of fat from the sugar and whipped cream.
If you want it a little lighter, you can ask for 2% milk instead of whole milk.
Some versions call it the Wolfman Frappuccino, but werewolf is the name that sticks with me.
5. Frankenstein Frappuccino
The Frankenstein Frappuccino, or Franken for short, has shown up on Starbucks’ Halloween menu before.
It’s not officially listed now, but I’d still ask for it if I wanted something nostalgic and familiar.
Ask your barista for a Matcha Crème Frappuccino with half a shot of white mocha syrup and half a shot of peppermint syrup.
Have them blend it with java chips and top it with whipped cream, chocolate or mocha drizzle, and cookie crumbles.
The extras add up quickly, but that’s also what gives it the mint chocolate chip feel people talk about.
6. Witch’s Brew Crème Frappuccino
The Witch’s Brew Crème Frappuccino has shown up on Starbucks’ Halloween menu around Halloween time.
According to Starbucks, “This delicious orange crème flavor drink is dotted with imaginary Bat Warts and Lizard Scales.”
In practice, it’s a Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino mixed with Starbucks Orange Flavored Purple Powder, green-dyed chia seeds, and green sprinkles on top of whipped cream.
That powder-and-chia combination gives the drink its spooky green-and-violet look, which is really the main appeal here.
A Grande size of this witch’s brew Frappuccino will be 390 calories and include 53 grams of sugar.
It’s caffeine-free, which makes it an easy pick for kids or anyone avoiding coffee.
If textured food is a problem, you can skip the chia seeds and still keep the drink enjoyable.
7. Jack Skellington Frappuccino
If you like pumpkin spice but want something different from the standard PSL, the Jack Skellington custom Frappuccino is the one I’d point to.
Ask for a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino blended with a shot of chai syrup in a cup that has mocha sauce on the sides.
Top it with whipped cream and java chips and it turns into a very fall-forward treat.
To make a Dirty Jack Skellington, just ask for a shot of espresso.
The base drink already has 100mg of caffeine, and the extra shot takes it to 175mg if you want more of a wake-up call.
Unlike most of the other Halloween drinks here, the Jack Skellington Frappuccino can also be ordered hot.
For the hot version, ask for a dirty chai tea latte with pumpkin syrup, then have it topped with whipped cream and java chips.
8. Sally Frappuccino
A Jack Skellington drink needs a Sally Skellington counterpart, and this is the one that usually comes to mind.
This ghoulish-looking drink is a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino blended with matcha powder that gets put in a caramel-drizzled cup.
The matcha powder is what changes the color at the bottom of the cup, so the first thing you notice is that green layer.
Top it with whipped cream and bright red strawberry puree. If you want a little more texture, freeze-dried strawberries work too.
Even though it’s on this Halloween list, the ingredients are available year-round in many locations, so this one can stretch well past October.
9. Zero Frappuccino
The Zero Frappuccino pays homage to Zero, the little ghost dog from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The result is a ghostly white Frappuccino with a red “collar” and a cute orange nose.
This Starbucks secret menu Frappuccino is easy to ask your barista for. Simply ask for Grande White Mocha Cream Frappuccino with one pump of peppermint syrup.
Add a layer of strawberry puree before the whipped cream, then finish with pumpkin spice latte topping and a drizzle of pumpkin sauce.
The whipped cream and strawberry layer do most of the work visually, and it’s one of the cleaner-looking builds on the list.
The White Mocha Cream Frappuccino has 95mg of caffeine, so if I were ordering it for a young child, I’d swap the base Frappuccino for a caffeine-free White Chocolate Crème instead.
10. Candy Corn Cold Brew
The Candy Corn Cold Brew is the kind of order that makes a morning commute feel a little less ordinary.
It’s meant to taste like candy corn rather than look like it, and it can often be customized at the window or in the Starbucks app.
Start by asking for a Venti Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. Then swap out the included 3 pumps of vanilla syrup for 3 pumps of white mocha drizzle.
You can finish it with whipped cream or cold foam on top, depending on how rich you want the first sip to be.
Then ask for a pump of pumpkin spice to be added to the sweet cream.
A Venti Candy Corn Cold Brew has 310 calories, 40 grams of sugar, and 275mg of caffeine. It’s a strong, sweet order, so I wouldn’t call it subtle.
11. Winifred Sanderson Frappuccino
If Halloween for you means rewatching Hocus Pocus, this works as a sweet drink to go with it.
The Winifred Sanderson Frappuccino is a Green Tea Frappuccino with one pump of white mocha syrup and one pump of peppermint syrup.
Ask for crushed dried strawberries on top of the whipped cream, and you’re set.
A Grande size comes in at nearly 450 calories , so the green color definitely doesn’t mean it’s light.
It also has 16 grams of fat and 70 mg of caffeine.
12. Zombie Frappuccino
Green is such an easy Halloween color that it makes sense the Green Tea Frappuccino became the base for so many monster-themed drinks, including the Zombie Frappuccino.
It was one of Starbucks’ Halloween drinks in 2017, and the ingredients still make it possible to order a version today.
Just ask for a Grande Green Tea Frappuccino with raspberry syrup instead of the classic syrup.
For the zombie’s brains, ask the barista to top it with whipped cream, then add strawberry puree and strawberry inclusions.
That usually turns the whipped cream pink and finishes the look.
The result is a sweet drink, and the green tea base gives it just enough structure to keep it from feeling flat.
How to order halloween drinks at Starbucks
Can you customize Starbucks Halloween drinks? Absolutely.
Most of the drinks here are custom orders rather than anything Starbucks calls an official secret menu.
As long as your local store has the ingredients and you know the build, your barista can usually help you put it together.
Can I order these drinks even if it’s not Halloween? Yes!
If the ingredients are available, you can usually order them any time of year.
The main exception is anything built around pumpkin spice, since that flavor is seasonal.
How much are the Halloween drinks at Starbucks? The average price for a Grande Frappuccino is $3.95.
With add-ins, expect closer to about $5 per drink.
Some dairy alternatives, like Starbucks soy milk, coconut milk, and almond milk will cost extra, so expect to pay about $0.50 more to add them to Starbucks halloween drinks.
You’ll also pay slightly more for your Starbucks syrups and sauces in your secret menu drinks.
Mocha drizzle is the most common choice, but you can also add white mocha sauce, cinnamon dolce syrup, or any classic syrup.
Those extras all cost more, and mocha drizzle or matcha powder usually adds about $0.50, depending on size.
Can I order Starbucks Halloween drinks in the Starbucks app? In some cases, yes.
The Candy Corn Cold Brew is usually easier to customize in the app, while more complicated drinks like the Wednesday Addams custom order are often easier to explain out loud.
The smoothest orders usually happen during non-peak hours, especially if you already have the recipe ready.
