Erin Wooddell Yes, you read that right! I know, your minds are probably spinning a thousand miles a minute. You mean we no longer have to go allll the way to Harry Potter World in Orlando to get a Butterbeer? Nope! You mean I no longer have to scour Pinterest for recipes that will undoubtedly fall short and not taste like I've always imagined? Not anymore! Starbucks has blown my mind this week—and gets an early high-five—for officially adding Butterbeer to their Secret Menu! ::Pause for screams of excitement.:: |
As if Harry Potter doesn't take up enough of my time or brain energy as it is, now I can head on down to my local Starbucks and give this concoction a whirl! Click here for the recipe!
Make sure to order it soon, because it's only available during "red cup season!" (Or rather, the holidays.)

Are you wondering how the secret menu works? As a former barista, I can tell you the basic gist is simply knowing the components of your drink. All baristas are trained differently, and for some, the regular drink recipes can be tough enough to remember. Memorizing rare concoctions with special names isn't necessarily high on their to-do list. The secret is all in how you place your order.
Some drinks on the Secret Menu are well-known, with names like "Captain Crunch" or "Raspberry Cheesecake." Really, baristas can make almost anything you want. Ever stood in line behind someone who spouts off one of those long orders like, "Tall, 3-pump vanilla, caramel macchiato, extra hot"? Feel free to be just as particular when ordering different flavor combinations. Just be forewarned that extra syrups can cost you up to 50 cents per flavor.
Give their Butterbeer a try and let me know how it is in the comments below, or tweet me @adventuringMISS.
