Everyone knows about the Starbucks Secret Menu that has been floating around the internet for quite some time. Many have made spinoffs of the site with their own favorite drinks that can't be found on the official menu. There are so many drink combinations out there, and you might wonder which ones are really worth your money. Here are eight Starbucks Secret Menu drinks you should try, and how to order them.

1. Twix Frappuccino

This drink has been on the "secret menu" for many years, and remains a long-running favorite of many. The Twix Frappuccino is a spin-off of Starbucks' Caramel Frappuccino, embracing the ribbons of caramel in Twix bars.

Ask for: a Caramel Frappuccino with one to two pumps of hazelnut syrup, java chips, extra caramel sauce, and a mocha drizzle at the top. Indulge in this flavorful treat, especially in the summer!

Take the Quiz: What Ramen Are You?

There are sooo many pre-packaged Ramen brands out there. Which one should you try/best fits your personality?

2. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Drink

The Chocolate Covered Strawberry drink is one of the favorites of the internet. It uses the base of a pink drink, combining the sweet and tartness of the freeze-dried strawberries with the luscious chocolate cold foam. The drink tastes quite literally like a chocolate covered strawberry, and is a simple order.

Ask for: a Pink Drink with Chocolate Cream Cold Foam and a mocha drizzle. You can maximize the chocolate covered strawberry flavor by adding more freeze-dried strawberry inclusions and extra cold foam.

3. Medicine Ball

Though not quite a "secret menu" drink, Medicine Ball is a classic hot tea that was later added to many Starbucks locations worldwide. The drink has a blissful mix of green tea, citrus, honey, and mint, which serves as the perfect combination for when you aren't feeling the best. Once a "secret menu" drink, you can now order this as the Honey Citrus Mint Tea officially, but most baristas would recognize the name "medicine ball."

Ask for: the Honey Citrus Mint Tea.

4. Peach Freeze

Honestly, sometimes I forget that Starbucks has their classic lemonade drink, which is one of the best bases for "secret menu" spinoffs. The Peach Freeze is the perfect summer vibes drink that is refreshing, but also great for those who like the crunchy texture of Frappuccinos.

Ask for: a blended Lemonade with peach juice. You could also try it with the Blended Strawberry Lemonade, or adjust to your liking by adding other sweeteners, cold foams, and sauces.

5. Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino

Starbucks' strawberry drinks offer a large variety of combinations to try out. This Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino is an amazing light drink that is perfect for vanilla and strawberry lovers. It is almost as if you are eating an ice cream with small bits of strawberry in it.

Ask for: a Strawberry Frappuccino with white mocha syrup and vanilla bean powder. Feel free to adjust the flavor by adding sweetener, cream, and more.

6. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte

Embrace your fall flavors with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte! If you love a warm spice in your drinks, this is the perfect drink for you. As a lover of cold foam, the combination of this drink is definitely the best mix.

Ask for: an Iced Chai Latte with cinnamon dolce syrup and cinnamon sweet cold foam. Cinnamon sweet cold foam might not be available in some stores, or in any season other than fall. An alternative would be a salted caramel cream or vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and add cinnamon powder on top separately.

7. Rainbow Drink

This drink is actually a series of different ways to order similarly tasting drinks that form the colors of a rainbow when put together. They are all made with a fruit base, with a creamer and some flavors made from sweeteners. It provides a light and creamy drink with touches of fruitiness underneath, making the perfect daily drink that doesn't have a high level of caffeine.

Ask for:

Pink: a Pink Drink or a Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher with coconut milk

Purple/Blue: an Iced Passion Tango Tea with soy milk, vanilla syrup, and no water (you can experiment with different sweeteners as it won't really affect the color)

Green: an Iced Black Tea with coconut milk, matcha, and no water

Orange: an Iced Black Tea with coconut milk, any syrup, and no water (this forms a beige and tan color that is close to orange, since they stopped selling the Orange Mango Juice)

8. Sour Gummy Drink

The Sour Gummy Drink is one of your best choices for a vibrant and fruity summer drink. Built off of a refresher, this drink offers a lot of space for customization to tailor for your personal preferences. You can choose any refresher, blend it into a frozen drink, and more!

Ask for: a Strawberry Açai Refresher with no inclusions, lemonade, and peach juice. You can modify this drink with any other refresher and other kinds of juice.
