Starbucks' secret menu stops feeling very secret after a while on TikTok.
I keep seeing new Starbucks recipes pop up there, and I wanted to find out which ones actually hold up once I taste them.
So I tested the most talked-about drinks myself, partly out of curiosity and partly to see how hard they are to order without guessing.
TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms today and produces plenty of viral videos – including secret Starbucks hacks.
These were the trending Starbucks drinks I kept seeing everywhere.
1. The TikTok Drink
A lot of the drinks you see on TikTok are custom orders, not official Starbucks menu items. That is where the confusion starts.
It’s a variation on the popular Starbucks strawberry acai refresher, and if you’ve been seeing way too many posts about this pink TikTok drink, here’s how you can try it out.
This sweet and sour berry drink became one of my summer go-tos. The fruitiness tastes so fresh that regular Refreshers started feeling a little flat afterward.
How To Order
- When you’re at the counter, simply order a Venti Strawberry Acai Lemonade Refresher and ask the barista to put three scoops of blackberries, three scoops of strawberries and ice all blended.
2. White Mocha Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is still one of the most common drinks I see people reach for online.
I do too, which is why this viral iced coffee version was easy to get behind.
The Iced White Mocha is basically iced coffee with white mocha sauce and vanilla sweet cold foam.
The sweetness of the classic syrup and cream complement the strong taste of coffee, making the Iced White Mocha an excellent drink for those days when I wanna treat myself.
How To Order
- To order this drink, ask for an iced coffee with four white mocha syrup, four vanilla syrup pumps, and Starbucks vanilla sweet cold foam on top.
3. Vietnamese Iced Coffee
When I saw this one, I immediately thought of Vietnamese coffee. A traditional Vietnamese coffee uses condensed milk instead of regular milk or creamer.
That condensed milk sweetness gives it a thick, creamy finish, and that is why I keep coming back to it.
Starbucks usually does not offer condensed milk as a substitute, so this is more of an inspired order than a straight copy.
However, the classic syrup combined with the extra vanilla sweet cream foam create a thick and sweet coffee treat that I just cannot resist!
For me, this is more of a treat than an everyday order. After a while, the sweetness starts to feel heavy.
How To Order
- Ask the barista for a Venti Doubleshot on Ice with classic syrup and extra vanilla sweet cream cold foam.
4. The “Pink Drink”
It took me a second to realize there is a difference between TikTok's Pink Drink and the actual Pink Drink.
They may look the same, but TikTok’s version tweaked Starbucks’ original Pink Drink recipe.
The original Pink Drink uses coconut milk, making it an excellent Starbucks choice for vegans. It adds a creamy tropical touch to the sweet strawberry blend that I enjoy.
One viral TikTok version swaps in heavy cream instead, which makes it much richer right away.
If you are lactose intolerant like me, or just avoiding dairy, that heavier version is not one I would order without a substitute.
How To Order
- Order a Pink Drink with heavy cream instead of coconut milk and ask to add two scoops of vanilla bean powder shaken in and with whipped cream on top.
5. Gummy Bear Drink
If you love gummy bears and Dutch Bros like I do, this one is worth a try.
I was the kid who loved ripping open a pack of gummy bears and watching cartoons – every sip of this has me feeling like a kid again.
The first thing I taste is the tart lemonade against the sweet raspberry syrup, which is why it reads so much like a gummy bear.
The color is bright, but the flavor is what sells it. I like it as a summer switch-up, especially if Dutch Bros is not nearby.
How To Order
- To order this, ask for a grande lemonade with 4 pumps of raspberry syrup.
6. Triple Caramel Threat
This is another Starbucks drink for sweet tooths out there! As its name implies, the drink includes three times the caramel you can find in regular Starbucks beverages.
Even with a sweet tooth, I worried this one would go too far.
What surprised me was how balanced it stayed. The cold brew and the cream in the vanilla cold foam keep the caramel from turning syrupy.
It is still a sugar-heavy drink, so I treat it as an occasional order.
I tend to avoid ordering it when I’m keeping an eye on my diet.
How To Order
- Ask the barista for a venti cold brew with caramel syrup, vanilla, sweet cream foam blended with dark caramel, and add a caramel drizzle on top.
7. Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino
TikTok is very good at turning desserts into Starbucks drinks, and strawberry cheesecake is one of the easiest examples.
I get it. I would drink cheesecake too if I could.
Thankfully, there is the Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino. After a long day, the creamy, velvety texture makes it feel more like dessert than a coffee stop.
Delicious, sweet, creamy – what more could you want?
I only order this one on special occasions, because it lands squarely in treat territory.
How To Order
- Order a Venti-sized Strawberry Frappuccino, combined with three scoops of vanilla bean powder, three pumps of cinnamon dolce syrup, and four pumps of white mocha. Then ask for it to be topped with whipped cream or a thick sweet cream foam.
8. Berry Peach Lemonade
On hot days, I usually reach for lemonade first. Starbucks' lemonades did not grab me much until the Berry Peach Lemonade showed up.
With just a few pumps of raspberry syrup and peach juice flavors, a normal lemonade becomes the perfect sweet treat.
It is light, tart, and peachy, which is exactly why I like it when the weather turns hot. I prefer mine blended, though the iced version looks better.
Do not mistake the peach juice for something light in the health food sense. Like most of these TikTok Starbucks drinks, it still leans sweet.
How To Order
- Ask the barista to add six pumps of raspberry syrup and light peach juice to your Venti strawberry acai lemonade.
9. Twix Frappuccino
I love Twix bars, so I was curious to see how well that flavor translated into a drink.
Someone clearly had the same idea and turned it into a Starbucks recipe.
I almost wish I didn’t know this existed because it is a dangerous (and delicious!) temptation in my life now.
The nutty, creamy, hot chocolate and caramel drizzle combo really does taste like a dessert drink.
I keep this one as an occasional Friday treat, usually when I want something that feels more like dessert than coffee.
How To Order
- To order this iced sweet cream hot chocolate drink, ask for a caramel frappuccino with two pumps of hazelnut syrup and extra java chips topped with mocha and extra caramel drizzle.
10. Skittles Frappuccino
I never expected a Frappuccino to remind me of Skittles, but this one does.
Think of it as Skittles for grown-ups.
The vanilla softens the berry sharpness, so the flavors stay bright instead of clashing.
It looks cute on social media, but the flavor can be surprisingly strong. I usually order a small so it does not turn into pure sugar overload.
How To Order
- When ordering, ask for a Venti Strawberry frappuccino combined with four pumps of vanilla and one and a half pumps of vanilla syrup. Top it with whipped cream or sweet cream foam.
11. Oreo Frappuccino
Oreos are one of those snacks that always seem to work in drinks and desserts, so I was not surprised TikTok found a way to fold them into Starbucks too.
As an Oreo milkshake fiend, I was excited to try this twist on a classic. It ended up tasting better than I expected, and it is easily one of the stronger TikTok drink ideas here.
The iced hot chocolate style drink is creamy and chocolatey, perfect as a dessert or just something to drink if I’m bored of my usual order.
How To Order
- Ask for a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino with white mocha sauce and whipped cream on top.
12. Apple Pie Frappuccino
Apple Pie Frappuccino is another viral Starbucks drink. I like apple pie and bake it at home often, but there are days when I would rather let someone else do the work.
Sweet and creamy with a touch of cinnamon – nothing beats it in the fall!
This drink scratches that pie craving without making a full stop at the bakery.
How To Order
- If you want to get this, just order a Creme Frappuccino with two pumps of caramel syrup and cinnamon dolce, with heavy cream and apple juice.
13. The Kinder Bueno Drink
Kinder Bueno is probably my favorite snack of all time.
Plenty of cafes have tried to turn that flavor into drinks or desserts.
When I first tried this iced white mocha drink, I was surprised to find that it’s surprisingly similar and just as tasty. Now I’m hooked!
The hazelnut syrup keeps the coffee from taking over, which is exactly what I want when I am not in the mood for a strong coffee-forward drink.
It ends up feeling like a treat for kids and adults who still want dessert flavor in their coffee.
How To Order
- You can order this by asking the barista for an Iced White Mocha with a shot of hazelnut. Be warned; this drink is addicting!
14. Berry Caramel Frappuccino
Berries and cream is such a classic summer combo for me, so I was eager to try this Strawberry Acai Refresher Lemonade TikTok combo when it came up on my feed.
With a little fruit puree and juice, the Strawberry Acai Refresher Lemonade turns into one of the fruitiest, most refreshing orders in the bunch.
I admit, I was not quite sure about the caramel as I ordered it but it ended up being such a nice note to cut through all the fruit.
Sweet, fruity, and creamy, it really does feel like a full dessert-style drink.
How To Order
- Ask your barista for a Strawberry Acai Refresher Lemonade combined with strawberry puree, apple juice, double scoops of mango, dragonfruit, and strawberries. Then, tell them to double-blend it and add a caramel drizzle on top
15. Buttercream Frappuccino
When it comes to cake, buttercream is the frosting I keep coming back to. Sometimes I want the frosting more than the cake itself.
That is where the Buttercream Frappuccino comes in.
This absolute must-try viral Starbucks TikTok drink is creamy, smooth, and velvety. Every sip is such a delight.
I like ordering this at the end of a long week because it gets me straight to the best part without needing any cake on the side.
How To Order
- If you want to get this drink on your next trip to Starbucks, order a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with two pumps of toffee nut syrup topped with extra caramel drizzle.
Things to know when ordering these TikTok drinks
These viral TikTok Starbucks drinks are fun to order because they usually feel more like custom builds than standard menu items.
This is because you have to order it exactly how it’s supposed to be since they’re not on the menu.
That is why you cannot just ask for an Oreo Frappuccino and expect every barista to know the exact build. It usually works better to list the ingredients one by one.
So, before you go and order, make sure you have the recipe ready with you or know what to say.
A few things to keep in mind when ordering a secret menu drink:
Once you know how to order them, the only real question is which flavor profile sounds worth a try.
