The Starbucks Secret Menu, Promoting Creativity In Starbucks Customers
Taking Starbucks deliciousness to a whole other level a website called the Starbucks Secret Menu offers its visitors a bevy of incredible renditions on old favorites. As beautifully designed as the newfound drinks it lauds the site is a veritable go-to-spot for all things out of the Starbucks box. Offering Starbucks Secret drinks ranging from coffee and tea both cold and hot to Frappuccinos the website is enough to make an onlooker grab the keys and head to the nearest cup of joe watering hole.
All one needs to do is go on the site, pick a new favorite and walk assuredly into the corner Starbucks and politely order it by recipe. While not usually called for, each Barista knows exactly what to do to delight walk-ins equipped with the information. New favorites on the site are bountiful like the Twix Frappuccino that makes use of caramel, hazelnut syrup, java chips and mocha drizzle. The Captain Crunch counterpart with a base of the Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino, caramel, toffee and hazelnut syrup and a toss of java chips for good measure is not all bad either if they do say so themselves.
Offering an education on all things Starbucks the informative site clues visitors in on little known facts like the "Short" size cup not seen on the menu. Oh sure, coffee fans are ready to order a Tall, Grande or Venti but are competely unaware of the cheaper Short 8 oz size for hot drinks. Another great hint The StarbucksSecretMenu.com passes along comes all the way from Hawaiian Starbucks fans who offer the growing popularity of Thai Walls, AKA condensend milk poured along the inside of the cup. Used with everything from coffee to iced tea to water the sweetly thick additive is a resounding hit from shore to shore. Also included is an entire page dedicated to Starbucks drinks for kids like the Babyccino made with extra foamy milk or the Caramel Apple Spice made of heated apple juice, cinnamon dolce syrup and whippped cream topping.
A fan of the secret menu said, "It was incredible. The Red Starburst looked great to me so I just walked up to the barista and gave her my recipe. She got a kick out of it and said she wanted to try it. It was so much more fun that just ordering my regular soy latte, for both of us." Catering to diehard Starbucks fans the secret menu site offers its visitors ongoing resources by way of a free subscription. Once visitors subscribe they will receive notificaitons of new drink recipies, news and Starbucks secrets delivered faithfully to their inbox.
