How to order TikTok drinks from Starbucks

Watching influencers slurp up a creative Starbucks TikTok drink concoction can make your mouth water. But, when you show up to a Starbucks to recreate the drink, how do you make sure you get the exact flavors you want? 

Here are a few of our best tips for ordering TikTok drink recipes at Starbucks.

Bring the recipe with you when you order

Ordering a TikTok drink at Starbucks is just like ordering from the Starbucks Secret Menu–you have to give the barista the recipe for your drink with all the add-ins, substitutions, and toppings. 

The barista on duty won’t know if a “TikTok Strawberry drink” means the one with a Pink Drink base or a Matcha powder add-on. To make a successful order, write the recipe down (or screenshot it on your phone) before you get in line. (We’ve given helpful TikTok recipes above that are ready to read off to your local barista.)

Be aware that some add-ins are not possible to order through the Starbucks app (We’re looking at you, Vanilla Bean Powder.) To save on confusion, you may want to skip the drive-thru and order complicated drinks at the counter. Also, some flavors like Pumpkin Spice are only available in certain seasons.

List off your drink order in the appropriate sequence:

1. First, mention if your drink is hot or iced. (This lets the barista knows whether to write on a paper cup or plastic.)
2. Next, choose the size of your drink: Tall (12 oz.), Grande (16 oz.), Venti (20 oz), Iced Venti (24 oz.), or Trenta (31 oz.).
3. If your drink is decaf mention it.
4. Choose your milk type and if you want your drink sugar-free or “skinny.”
5. Say the name of your base drink: Macchiato, latte, Frappuccino, or other.
6. Request add-ons and customizations that aren’t a part of the regular drink order. This can include shots of espresso, extra syrups, light ice, etc.

For example, an appropriate sequence would be:

“I’d like an Iced Venti Decaf Skinny Soy Caramel Macchiato with an extra shot of espresso and light ice.”

Be prepared to pay extra

At Starbucks, some add-ons (such as whipped cream) are free. However, vegan milk, extra shots, and some syrups and sauces may cost extra if they are not part of the basic Starbucks drink. Many TikTok Starbucks drinks cost seven dollars or more in the medium Grande size. 

However, if you are a part of the Starbucks Rewards program, you can get at least one handcrafted beverage free on your birthday each year.

Counting calories goes out the window

Most TikTok drinks are not designed for dieting. These specialty drinks often include extra syrups and toppings that up the calorie count. 

Starbucks offers nutrition information for its standard menu drinks, but once you customize your order, the calorie count is left to your best guess. If you’re watching your waistline, you may not want to drink a TikTok drink every day. However, an over-the-top drink can be a fun treat on the occasion. 

Ask nicely (like your mama taught you)

While TikTok Starbucks drinks are fun and tasty for customers, they can create extra work for the baristas. Be patient and prepared to clarify your order as necessary. 

A tasty new beverage can be a bright spot in your day. You can shine a light on your barista as well by leaving them with a kind word, a tip in the jar–or both! 

Final Thoughts

You may be a frequent Starbucks customer or rarely darken their door. However, if you scroll through TikTok you are sure to find some delicious Starbucks concoctions that you can’t wait to try.
