If you’ve got the peach juice blend in your store here’s a wild one (personally i like it as a non-caffeine option): Peach & Coconut Milk. That’s it
Crowchick1731 6 points 1y ago
Add a pump of vanilla or (if you have it) a pump of raspberry and im sold
imathrowayslc 5 points 1y ago
Brown sugar. Then it’s peach cobbler.

I'm probably gonna get dragged for this but...


Vanilla bean Frappuccino, rip open an earl grey tea bag and blend it in!
chowderchop 3 points 1y ago
This sounds incredibly interesting
lindsay-afton 15 points 1y ago
black tea with strawberry acai base no water, pumpkin w white mocha, anything with vanilla syrup and caramel drizzle.
Watuhhell 37 points 1y ago
I thought you were saying this was all in one drink I was like 🤢🤢
lindsay-afton 8 points 1y ago
LOL NO i should’ve separated it better but definitely not 😭😭
Mcnugget_unlimited 10 points 1y ago
Iced Green tea lemonade with honey blend (don’t need all the pumps ) it’s just like the honey citrus mint tea but cold 😊
interyx 5 points 1y ago
Add peach juice for extra verisimilitude.
coochieglock2000 8 points 1y ago
Java chip, sub white mocha, caramel syrup, extra drizzle, oatmilk
Tastes like Twix
Radiant_Session6601 5 points 1y ago
Iced chai with brown sugar, oat milk, and salted foam
matb2003 2 points 1y ago
The new way for salted foam, or the old way?
Radiant_Session6601 1 points 1y ago
The old way with just the salt packets in the foam!
JHOOOOBI 5 points 1y ago
Iced dirty chai with a double blonde ristretto shot. with almond milk, apple brown sugar syrup, and pumpkin cream cold foam. Thank me later.
FfierceLaw 5 points 1y ago
I never would have tried nitro cold brew if I hadn’t started working for Starbucks, I really like it plain or with a drop of cream, although it needs nothing. I like it when coffee has zero or almost zero calories
hanromanholiday 5 points 1y ago
ooooh w/ the new holiday syrups, i like anything white mocha & chestnut praline!!
moomarz 2 points 1y ago
i just did a partner buffet yesterday and drank at least 5 lattes of holiday syrups. sugar cookie iced with irish cream foam was so good
regaltrash 4 points 1y ago
try iced chai with:
oatmilk
3 pumps brown sugar syrup
1 pump pumpkin
pumpkin cold foam
pumpkin topping 😌
susieee00 4 points 1y ago
strawberry refresher with no water, heavy cream and 3 scoops of vanilla bean powder, it tastes like fresas con crema
jackson274325 3 points 1y ago
Strawberry Creme Frap + few pumps of mocha = Chocolate Strawberry Frap
greys007 3 points 1y ago
my personal favorite is a grande cold brew with 5 pumps of vanilla and 1 pump of mocha, splash of almond milk, and extra vsccf (venti cup)
fuhhh83110 2 points 1y ago
I just fell back in love with a drink I forgot my old barista friend made for me. She made it as a peaches n cream. It's just peach & coconut milk with a splash of stars berry acai. I came across it yesterday when I was trying the virgin Malibu : lemonade, vanilla & coconut milk and later on I added the peach *chefs kiss*
Butterflybo0ty 2 points 1y ago
Ain’t even a drink but I just love whipped cream and the apple drizzle.
deadboydrumming 2 points 1y ago
My personal favorites are:

Strawberry açaí lemonade, no strawberry inclusions, sub blackberry inclusions

Hot chocolate with an extra scoop of malt powder, white mocha, and peppermint

Pumpkin Frappuccino with extra whipped cream on the bottom (tastes exactly like pumpkin pie)

Vanilla bean Frappuccino with Java chips blended in with extra caramel and mocha drizzle

Iced chai tea latte with vanilla sweet cream cold foam (or pumpkin cold foam), caramel drizzle, and cinnamon dolce powder
couchpillowmuppet 2 points 1y ago

ProfessionalRock7940 2 points 1y ago
One of my fellow shifts had me try 2 pumps toasted white mocha, 2 pumps chestnut praline, oatmilk, 3 blonde shots in a grande. So damn good! Tastes like the cereal part of lucky charms
ashleighbrazell 2 points 1y ago
brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso with salted caramel foam
brattneybiscuit 2 points 1y ago
Peach lemonade. Raspberry lemonade with strawberry purée poured on top (but for a venti I only do 4 pumps). Raspberry mocha.
Comfortable-Muffin- 1 points 1y ago
i’ve been loving the brown sugar oat shaken espresso with a pump and a half of cinnamon dolce, it’s super yummy.
LimpSpread9688 1 points 1y ago
Strawberry kiwi refresher
OR
Coconut milk, lemonade and vanilla
BatWeary 1 points 1y ago
iced blonde hazelnut latte w oat milk, cold brew with pumpkin sauce, oat milk, salted foam (no caramel in foam), and extra pumpkin topping mixed in cold brew. it tastes exactly like a PSL with salt foam!

but for non coffee: iced green tea or iced black tea with peach, no water (extra tea, reg amount of peach), and 1-2 pumps of classic depending on size. i drink several of these a day 😅
Bribarista 1 points 1y ago
for me peach green tea with apple juice or my special white mocha frap with extra wm, vanilla bean powder, one pump brown sugar, and one pump pumpkin
dkr1829 1 points 1y ago
Go for a vanilla bean frap (with one extra scoop no matter what size you go for), with half of the pure orange juice and half whole milk, lastly add 1-2 scoops of dragonfruit pcs. You have something pretty tropical smoothie 😂😂 Haven’t found a name for it yet.
1badbiddie 1 points 1y ago
Chai Frappuccino with two pumps apple brown sugar, two pumps caramel, cinnamon blended in, and oatmilk. First drink I made that made me like the apple sugar syrup 🤣
caughdeighy 1 points 1y ago
as it turns out, i am unfortunately both a tiktok drink supporter and a modified cold foams supporter, please forgive me for i have sinned. my favorite drinks of recent have been:

\- the "peach fuzz" refresher from tiktok: dragon drink w/no inclusions, add peach juice and vanilla syrup.

\- strawberry acai with lemonade and a splash of peach juice.

\- this wack ass apple crisp-inspired drink i made a couple weeks ago: blonde iced shaken espresso, sub vanilla for classic, add VSCCF with 2 pumps apple b. sugar blended in, and extra apple drizzle inside the cup & on top. the apple brown sugar cold foam is absolutely phenomenal.

\- yesterday i made a cold brew with white mocha, and VSCCF with 1 pump mocha and 1 pump peppermint blended in and it was fire.

\- tomorrow i'm going to try the S.C. syrup (the new one from holiday 2021 launch) in a chai with my coworker's cinnamon dolce foam, which is just VSCCF with a \*generous\* sprinkle of CD powder blended in. i'm thinking it's gonna end up tasting just like a snickerdoodle cookie and i'm SO excited to try it!!!! (sorry for the censorship but i'm not about to lose my job over "leaking" a starbucks holiday drink even though it's already all over the internet lmao)

Apple juice and chai iced, might try it warmed tomorrow...my favorite when I don't want dairy
AtTheBarMatt 1 points 1y ago
Venti shaken espresso 2 extra shots, 2 pumps wm, 3 pumps caramel, no classic, no 2% topped with cold brew....yes I know it's an insane amount of caffeine.
menthol-drops 1 points 1y ago
So if you want a caffeine induced heart attack may i present to you the SLO-MO.
Disclaimer that you should NOT drink this if you’re caffeine sensitive or have any sort of heart condition!

Iced Grande cup:
Cold brew (uncut if you can) to first line
Iced coffee to second line
4 shots of Blonde Espresso (ristretto is my preference)
Ice
Sweet cream
Caramel drizzle

You can chug jug it if you’re feeling bold but you’ll look up and it will have been six hours so take that as you will

Caramel apple chai
It_is_Katy 1 points 1y ago
I invented a peach green tea frap the other day that was sooooo good. very very summery!! (1 part peach, 1 part green tea, 2 parts heavy cream instead of whole milk to thicken it because the peach and green tea is so thin, fill that to the bottom line of the cold cup and then make like a normal creme frap. might try with a pump or two of classic next time.)

I also started putting a pump of caramel in my chai fraps and it was SO amazing
emccladd 1 points 1y ago
I got my whole store drinking our lemonade with a blonde shot poured on top. Weird as hell I know
ObnoxiousR 1 points 1y ago
A small double blonde vanilla latte. Your partners will thank you for not working them to death.
briannuzzi 1 points 1y ago
my 2 regulars are either a passion tango tea with lemonade and sub the liquid cane for raspberry syrup, or a shaken espresso, blonde, oat milk, with no classic, sub for half white mocha and half toffenut! honestly white mocha and toffeenut is my fav flavour combo in general so I like to switch it up sometimes and put it in a flat white or a latte too. also tastes great hot on those cold days!

Iced shaken espresso sub caramel syrup and add salted cream foam!
sirensthigh 1 points 1y ago
adding brown sugar to anything white mocha or vanilla bean based will change your life. i swear it.
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago
Grande cold brew with 3 pumps of white mocha, sweet cream foam with 2 pumps of peppermint, and chocolate shavings on top👍🏼
abigaildumbrique 1 points 1y ago
Recently I have been a huge fan of an iced chai half sweet with vanilla (also half sweet), oat milk, and vanilla sweet cream cold foam with a single scoop of matcha blended in, but i usually blend it like two or three times so it’s really thick and smooth (I’m aware of how weird the drink sounds but omg my mouth is watering just thinking about it)

If your store has it, the berry hibiscus with lemonade is one of my favorites, along with an iced chai with apple brown sugar, honey blend, and oatmilk.
