It may seem like cold brew has been around forever, but it actually didn’t hit the Starbucks menu until 2015. Since then, people have become obsessed with the strong, smooth, iced drink.
And since we live in a time of constant innovation, there are now tons of Starbucks secret menu cold brew recipes. We’re still waiting for those flying cars, though.
Because why should you settle for the regular menu offerings, when you can create concoctions like a Cookies and Cream Cold Brew, or a Snickerdoodle one? And when you add in all the cold foam options? We may not be culinary geniuses, but we certainly know our way around a coffee shop. And the baristas know us too. Almost a little too well.
The next time you want to switch up your iced coffee order, try one of these secret menu cold brew drinks. You can thank us later. Or now! We love instant gratification.
