Taste Testing the 10 Most Popular Secret Menu Starbucks Beverages

The only thing missing in this drink is the tequila; besides that it's perfectly refreshing and was the perfect complement to my day by the pool.

Grab this before you go catch a movie because it tastes exactly like the bag of gummy bears you would eat with your popcorn. It has the sugary, fruity essence we all know and love about the classic chewy bear. I rank this low on the tastiness scale because it was almost a little too sweet for my liking (maybe the baristas went a little crazy with the extra flavor pumps?). Perhaps start with 1/2 pump of each syrup for a tall to be on the safe side.

Step aside, Pink Drink; the Purple Drink is the new pink. The Purple Drink reminded me of a blueberry graham cracker (if that's even a thing?). It had the definite berry essence but then has a surprising cinnamon and honey quality as well.

★★☆☆

The initial taste of the Cotton Candy Frappuccino is reminiscent of the fluffy pink treat you'd beg your parents for as a sugar-crazed kid. As an adult who just ordered this pink concoction, not much has changed.

I highly recommend the Birthday Cake Frappuccino even if it’s not your birthday because it's a little piece of heaven. Bonus points for it not putting me into a sugary coma. It had just the right amount of sweetness and left me wanting a giant piece of fluffy Funfetti cake after. The only element missing from this scrumptious drink was sprinkles (but that’s just me being high maintenance).

This Teddy Graham Frappuccino tastes exactly like a box of Teddy Grahams. It has a perfect balance of honey and cinnamon to make you feel like a kid again munching on a those adorable little golden bears.

Thin Mint Frappuccino is hands down my favorite drink from the menu and had me feeling all types of nostalgia from my Girl Scout days. It tastes exactly like the original Thin Mint cookies with the perfect combo of minty, chocolaty goodness. It could have had a perfect score if I had actual Thin Mints sprinkled in it. (Side note: I thought the drink was going to be green when I ordered it because of the green tea base and was surprised to see it wasn't. Don't be alarmed if yours isn't green as well.)

The Harry Potter-inspired Frappuccino did not disappoint. Having tried Butterbeer at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, I can say that the taste comparison was almost identical, the Frap being a more creamy version. I would rank this drink five stars because it truly is delicious.

The Pink Drink took the internet by storm last year, and for good reason too. The drink tastes absolutely amazing, almost like tart strawberry milk. It has a smooth, silky consistency with a sweet berry mix. Though it's now part of the official menu, it started as a secret menu item!

The Oreo Frappuccino was another crowd-pleaser, at least in my book, that is. I am particularly fond of Oreos (although, who isn't?) and, for that matter, any cookies. So when I discovered this drink tastes exactly like cookies and cream with Oreos, I had fallen into a deep chocolaty love.
