This definitely isn't silly! Memorizing the drinks can be overwhelming. My advice is to use your resources 😊 I always ask the other baristas how to make something if I'm unsure. Another BIG help are the recipe cards on the iPad. When I first started I would put the iPad by the bar I was on and it will tell you the step by step instructions. It only takes a couple seconds longer to search it and takes off some stress. Hope that helps!

The iced matcha latte now gets cut with water (milk to bottom line on shaker & add filtered water to next line). And I don’t even remember a weekly update talking about this at all. It just because standard without communicating.

You can always ask for help with the iPad if you need it & I think all of the recipes are on there now.

ask your shift if there are order signs/stickers. Most stores have them behind the blenders or near the espresso machines. They will say Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 and so on. These helped me a bunch in the beginning.

caramel frappuccino;

1. pump frap roast into cup (2 pumps for tall, 3 for grande, 4 for venti)
2. fill cup with desired milk choice to first line (standard is whole milk)
4. pour into the blender
5. add caramel syrup pumps
6. add ice
7. add coffee base
8. blend on 1
9. pour frappuccino into cup
10. add whip and lid
11. hand off with a straw

if it is a caramel creme frappuccino skip the frap roast and use creme base instead of coffee base !!

Strawberry Frappuccino also gets purée in the bottom of the cup.

Matcha still confuse me. Honestly, if i were making a tall, i just use the 2-3-4 ratio for matcha scoops, fill milk to the proper line, add ice, and shake. How i remember it is that matcha drinks get one scoop less than the number of pumps listed for the size on the shaker.

Caramel frap, like all fraps, follow the 2-3-4 ratio for pumps as well! Add frap roast pumps following 2-3-4, milk to the bottom line and pour contents into blender. Then add syrup, also following 2-3-4, as well as coffee base (creme if it's a creme frap) and ice and then blend on the appropriate setting. Add whip and drizzle and serve.

Strawberry creme fraps are virtually the same as caramel fraps! Just substitute the the frap roast for the strawberry puree and sub the caramel syrup for classic syrup and you got it! The great thing about the fraps is that they mostly all follow the 2-3-4 ratio, which is usually listed on the coffee base syrup. So if you ever forget how many, look there and you have your guide! EDIT: Another way to remember it is that hot americanos also use that same 2-3-4 ratio for espresso shots.

The refreshers are great because all the instructions are on the shakers! Add your ingredients from the bottom up. So when doing a strawberry acai, add base to the proper fill line, then water/lemonade/milk to that line, then syrups and inclusions if called for, add ice and shake!

I hope this helps! I've been working at Starbucks for four months so I'm sure there's things i could have gotten wrong, but what I've written is how I do things. Best of luck to you! You'll get the hang of it in time. 😁
