No. Don’t stress on it. There is no “right way” to order a drink, as long as you are polite.
Focus on presenting your best self, the general themes of your answers (providing examples of previous experience, and generally positive tend to go over well)
At the end of the day it’s a customer focused position. Own that, and you’ll do great

this!! the special way baristas ordering drinks is just being clear and polite. the patience/understanding is always what gives a partner away for me, i always know based on how understanding they approach the counter.

Do you mean order drinks like ordering at the register or do you mean sequencing like the order you make a few drinks.

If it's the former, you go down the boxes which isn't used much anymore with the stickers. Back in my day we marked on the cup so you would say iced or if it's hot you don't say hot you just go to size so iced grande vanilla latte or if hot it's just grande vanilla latte.

Then if it was decaf that would come next , iced grande decaf vanilla latte (again if caffeinated that's standard so you wouldn't say caf vanilla latte you only mention if it's decaf).

Next was shot customizations, i think theyve changed the standard recipes from when i was a partner but say it was an iced grande half-caf 4 shot vanilla latte.

Then I think it was the syrup , venti cinnamon dolce latte, iced grande decaf 2 pump caramel latte.

Then any milk customizations, grande vanilla oatmilk latte.

Then customizations like adding whipped cream on a latte, iced grande vanilla oatmilk with whip latte. There are recipes where whip is in the standard recipe like mochas or frappucinos, then you wouldn't mention it only for recipes where whip isn't in the standard recipe.

Last box is the drink, L for latte, WM for white mocha, M for mocha, C for cappuccino.

Actually I think the decaf or half caf qualifier came before the drink size... iced decaf grande vanilla oatmilk with whip latte. But again this was ages ago, I'd get a current partner to comment.

But kind of drink [iced or standard hot], size, decaf or standard caf, shot customizations, syrup customizations, milk customizations, additional customizations, drink. Iced grande 4 shot, 2 pump vanilla 3 pump mocha, half oatmilk half whole, with whip add mocha drizzle latte. Iced venti 5 shot 5 pump white mocha, splash of breve with extra whip no water Americano.
