EntranceUnusual Starbucks drinks around the world. Must-Try Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks Unusual Menu Items
It looks like the baristas at Starbucks already hate the new unicorn frappuccino. One of the American employees, Braden Burson, posted a video on Twitter where he very emotionally urges visitors not to order a drink. But Russian baristas can sleep peacefully: the drink will not be presented in Russia.
Starbucks recently announced the launch of a new product - . The official representative of Starbucks told Medialeaks that the unicorn frappuccino will not be sold in Russia, and asked not to reassure the guests.
But visitors in the US, Canada and Mexico can purchase a cold pink drink topped with edible glitter starting April 19. And apparently, Starbucks customers are obsessed with unicorns, because baristas are openly protesting after just one day of sales.
"Here's what happened at work today."
In the video, Braden apparently drives home after a day's work and vents his rage to his Twitter followers. At first, the guy tries to be calm and restrain his emotions:
Yes, guys. I usually don't do it as often as I would like, but today I kind of need it. As most of you know, I work at Starbucks and a new unicorn frappuccino came out today. For those of you who don't know, Unicorn Frappuccino is based on mango and cream, no coffee, and tastes very sweet. The news about him appeared on the Internet a few weeks ago. Because it was so popular online, everyone was like, "Damn it, I'll try this thing when it comes out!" And today she came out.
At that moment, the presence of mind leaves Braden, and he begins to shout into the camera:
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT!!! I have never made so many frappuccinos in my entire life! All my hands are stuck together! That unicorn thing in my hair, in my nose!
At the end of the video, the barista encourages customers of the coffee chain to stop:
If you love us as a barista, don't order this! In the name of God, love and all that is good, don't order the unicorn frappuccino!
Despite such an emotional and desperate appeal, commentators expressed a desire to immediately go to the nearest Starbucks and buy that same unicorn frappuccino. It seems that Braden managed to interest even those users who had never heard of the drink before.
In the old days, when ordering coffee, you could only add sugar or milk to the drink. Today, Starbucks has changed the way coffee is consumed by creating a wide variety of flavors. You can use additives at your own discretion to come up with a unique recipe that is not on the menu. Here are ten of the most successful combinations that few people know about.
Frappuccino "Dragon"
When the Unicorn themed drink appeared, all coffee connoisseurs literally went crazy over it. Did you know that you can also try the secret and mysterious "Dragon"? Well, now you know. This is an iced coffee with green tea, vanilla powder and berries. Order this drink to get to know the dragons better.
Butter Beer Frappuccino
Let's say dragons don't interest you. What about wizards? This butterbeer flavored drink will make you feel like you're at Hogwarts! Order a creamy iced coffee with three servings each of caramel syrup, nut syrup, and caramel topping. Be sure to ask to use whole milk for making coffee - only it will give the desired texture, with skim milk it will not be so tasty at all.
Frappuccino with cake flavor
What could be better than celebrating a birthday? What about celebrating every day! When you order this drink, you will get the brightest emotions, just like on a holiday. For the combination, you need to use vanilla frappuccino and almond flavor. This is the simplest combination, but the result is great. If almond flavor is not available, hazelnut flavor can be used.
Frappuccino with pumpkin-chocolate cookie flavor
Is there anything more interesting and unusual than the combination of pumpkin latte with the flavor of chocolate chip cookies? If there is, it will take a long time to find it. Order a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Frappuccino for a Creamy Pumpkin Frappuccino with Mocha Sauce, Coffee Chips and Cinnamon Syrup. You are guaranteed to enjoy it.
Frappuccino with tiramisu flavor
The tiramisu flavored frappuccino in Japan is on the main menu. It is not available in other countries, but you can still try it if you remember the right combination. For this recipe, order a coffee frappuccino with hazelnut, hazelnut caramel, caramel flan and mocha syrups. Complete the drink with caramelized whipped cream, caramel sauce and chocolate sprinkles. Done, you can enjoy the taste without going to Japan.
Frappuccino "Twix"
Chocolate bars are great, but imagine if you could have such a dessert in the morning instead of coffee! Yes, it doesn't officially taste like the famous candy bar, but you won't be able to tell the difference. Order a caramel frappuccino with hazelnut syrup, coffee chips, whipped cream, caramel sauce and chocolate sprinkles. It will be incredibly delicious.
Frappuccino "Mermaid"
Unfortunately, mermaids don't really exist. But there is an appetizing mermaid frappuccino! The recipe sounds unusual, but believe me, it is quite possible. The base is a vanilla frappuccino with frozen blueberries, then a green drink with white chocolate sauce, coconut syrup and matcha. Top with whipped cream. Try it and make your mermaid dreams come true!
Banana Pie Flavored Frappuccino
If you want to start the day with something extremely appetizing, check out the Banana Pie Flavored Frappuccino. This is a combination of vanilla syrup, nut syrup and a whole banana whipped together with coffee. Top with whipped cream and enjoy the combination of gourmet dessert and coffee in one glass.
Frappuccino with raspberry cheesecake flavor
This is another great option for a drink and dessert in one combination. Order yourself a drink with white chocolate and top it with raspberry syrup. It's a very simple combination, but the best pleasures in life are often simple, so it's definitely worth a try.
Frappuccino "Narwhal"
Unlike dragons and mermaids, narwhals exist. There is also such an unusual recipe! It's strawberry lemonade with vanilla powder, whipped cream and matcha green tea powder on top. This drink is perfect for refreshing on a hot summer day.
Hidden advertising Starbucks from Apple
During the presentation of the first iPhone in 2007, Steve Jobs called Starbucks to demonstrate the capabilities of the new smartphone.
Jobs, using Google Maps, found a nearby coffee shop and dialed the phone number on his iPhone. Having phoned, Apple CEO orders 4,000 lattes in a completely serious voice takeaway, then apologized, explained to the operator that he was joking and generally made a mistake with the number, after which he hung up to the loud laughter of the audience.
Company's mission
Today, Starbucks coffee shop can be found in 67 countries, and the total number of outlets already exceeds 22,000. The total number of network personnel is 140 thousand people.
Starbucks sells organic coffee, espresso-based drinks, a variety of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, coffee beans, tea, and coffee-making and serving accessories.
But CEO Howard Schultz isn't talking about coffee.
Starbucks coffee shops don't sell coffee. They sell the third place between home and work, where a person would feel comfortable. Howard Schultz
This is one of the missions of the company - to provide a comfortable place to relax. The most amazing thing is that the atmosphere of the coffee shop and its menu may differ depending on the country or even the city in which it is located:
- American Starbucks menu may not include caramel frappuccino
- In Hong Kong, you can buy freshly squeezed guava juice in branded bottles.
- No caramel syrup on Canadian menu
- In Vienna, visitors take off their shoes and climb on sofas with their feet
- Pancakes are on the menu in Germany
- Dubai Starbucks is a real lounge cafe where you can completely relax in chic leather chairs
- In New York, you can find yourself in a cafe with an absolutely businesslike atmosphere, where everyone works on their laptop
- In Japan, Starbucks coffee shops can be found directly in bookstores.
Despite the common attributes - Wi-Fi, green aprons, a table with spices, each Starbucks is a small, cozy world of good coffee lovers in its own way.
Today we will talk about unusual menu items that can only be tasted in certain countries of the world. Go!

Starbucks in Russia
Starbucks came to Russia 8 years ago in September 2007. The first coffee shop of the network appeared, of course, in the capital in the Mega-Khimki shopping center. In December 2007, Starbucks opened its first restaurant in St. Petersburg in the Piterland shopping center.
To date, there are 100 coffee houses in Russia, of which 71 are located in Moscow, 11 in St. Petersburg.
Many my friends don't see the difference between coffee at McDonald's and Starbucks, believing that I'm just overpaying for the brand by buying drinks there. I think otherwise, seasonal drinks are especially pleasing this winter - walnut-taffy and ginger-gingerbread latte.
