The stretch between Thanksgiving and the December holidays is always a busy one what with gift shopping, food prepping, and making sure everything is all set for your celebrations. That busy schedule calls for caffeine and thanks to some brilliant Starbucks fans there are so many ways to customize your drinks to make them festive. Ladies and Gentlemen, may we suggest the “Andes Mint Cold Brew” for your seasonal sipping pleasure?
Iced coffee is totally acceptable all year long (yes, even when it’s cold outside), so this new Starbucks Secret Menu item is coming at the right time. The geniuses over at Totally the Bomb are constantly testing out new ways to order Starbucks drinks and they’re the brains behind this Andes Cold Brew as well.
Like any Starbucks “Secret Menu” item, this drink isn’t actually on the menu, so you have to order it politely by customizations rather than by name. By doing so, you’ll help your barista out and you will get the drink you want. Win-win!
Here’s how you hack the drink: First, start off by asking for a venti cold brew with three pumps mocha and three pumps white mocha. Then ask for regular cold foam with two pumps of peppermint blended in so you get that minty flavor in every sip. Finally, top it off with some chocolate curls for some sweetness and the perfect chocolate addition that will really make it taste just like an Andes Mint.
And voila, you’ll have the perfect cold and caffeinated drink to get you through everything on your holiday to-do list. You’re welcome!
