3 Secret Starbuck Drinks You Have To Try

There's no better way to ring in summer than with a cold drink.

44

If you find yourself craving a cold drink this summer and a Starbucks is within reach, here are three "secret drinks" to order that you won't find on the regular menu:

1.The PINK Drink

This drink has been up and down Instagram and has quickly claimed the name of the new summer drink everyone must try. It's the strawberry açai refresher with coconut milk instead of water. Adding coconut milk will cost you about 60 cents more, but I promise it's worth it. This drink quickly became my favorite summer drink. It has a sweet taste, almost like liquid candy. That sounds disgusting, but I promise it's good. When I first tried it, I compared it to gummy candy and liquid happiness. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and everyone from my 10-year-old niece to my older manager has grown a love for this new pink drink. Due to its quick popularity, even Starbucks baristas are dying to try it. You can even switch out the frozen strawberries for blackberries—it tastes the same, it just makes your drink look different.

2. White Youthberry Granita

Last Tuesday, Starbucks came out with their sunset menu, and this drink is a big part of it. If you're a Starbucks fiend like I am and you literally eat, sleep and breathe Starbucks, you can get your sunset fix for $3 by showing your morning receipt. I'm not that fond of the Youthberry granita. It reminds me of a slushy you get from the ice cream truck—practically just ice with syrup on top. The taste was quite interesting; it tastes like an alcohol mixer, so I guess it's great. My reaction has been the only negative one so far, but it just reminds me of the slushies from the Mr. Softee ice cream truck. So close your eyes and sip and you'll imagine yourself on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean watching the sun set. If that's too tropical, you can kick back and imagine you're back in one of your childhood days.

3. Birthday Cake Frappuccino

Remember last year when Starbucks was celebrating their 20-year anniversary and they came out with this amazing new drink that was only out for a weekend? The birthday cake frappuccino—it tasted and looked like heaven with pink whipped cream and a wonderful indescribable taste. The birthday cake frappe was the one that got away until now. Here is how to order a birthday cake frappe at your Starbucks: Ask for a vanilla bean frappuccino with hazelnut, then ask for raspberry infused whip cream. Not every barista will be so happy about the raspberry infused whipped cream, but it tastes the same with or without the pink coloring. This is my favorite frappe because it tastes just like cake. If you haven't tried it try it now, I promise it's worth the extra work.

Next time you visit Starbucks give these cool drinks a try, and if you love them, try one in a "trenta."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
