Cursed drink recipes that are actually good.(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Sacredgost
What are some drink recipes that sounds cursed when described, but are actually really good? For example, I like a kiwi star fruit refresher with lemonade, add caramel syrup and caramel drizzle shaken in. Tastes like a caramel apple.

I've been chomping at the bit for one of these posts.
Chai tea latte, Irish Cream syrup. Sounds weird, but what you get is pretty close to a cup of Tiramisu.
Tried it once out of morbid curiosity.
Ended up "trying" it again 10 times in a row and it became my usual.
Except now, of course; it's "seasonal" so we've discontinued it.
On a completely unrelated note, what's tomorrow again?

Black tea lemonade with half the amount of pumps of chai that the drink would get 😈. Like a spiced Arnold Palmer

i want to start off with i hope you are making these for yourself and not asking someone else to make these lol..
this shit is so fire. a double chocolate chip frap with heavy cream, strawberry purée in the blender and cup, strawberry inclusions blended in, with 1 pump of raspberry for a tall, 2.5 for a venti and top with no whip mocha and cookie crumbles. it takes like a chocolate strawberry/raspberry
my teeth hurt from reading this so i only take a few bites after i’ve worked all day and need a little sugar.

This is absolutely to make myself. I wouldn’t dare ask my fellow baristas to make these. Whether it’s from not wanting to put them through it or not wanting them to judge me.

lol yes! im glad

A customer ordered a strawberry creme frap with cinnamon dolce syrup and white mocha. I tried some of what was left in the blender and it was actually really good. Not a flavor combo I'd usually think of but I don't hate it!

Trenta black tea, no water sub sweet cream, extra tea, 2 pumps vanilla and like a little less than half a pump of toasted vanilla. It's so good holy crap.

This is weird.
Vanilla bean frappachino with frap chip and vanilla syrup, fill it half way through a tall cup, fill up the other half with cookie crumble vanilla cold foam (vanilla cold foam and cookie crumble topping blended together. Don't forget to add wc on top of the foam. You will enjoy every single layer.

If you like chocolate milk… oat milk in a grande cup, no ice, 2 pumps mocha, 3 pumps vanilla, salted caramel sweet cream cold foam on top. Fire. Pretty basic but I can’t have caffeine anymore sadly so a good old fashioned chocolate milk with a twist brings me the comfort I need mid shift.

I make this often and everyone who tasted it says it tastes like melted ice cream.
strawberry puree, lemonade, light water and ice, 2 - 3 pumps of raspberry syrup, vanilla sweet cream. Shake it and it's heavenly.

Salted Matcha VSCCF. Just +add 2 salt packets & +add 2 scoops/Matcha to foam before blending.

I haven’t had it yet but the Iced White Mocha with extra caramel drizzle and Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam does sound really good. I’d probably do a cinnamon dolce or brown sugar cold foam but I’m not about to tell customers about that 😋

Honestly tried it and it's not really worth the hype tbh

Yeah, if you’re not into super sweet, it’s not that great. It’s like hurt your teeth sweet - for me at least.
