As much as we love watching the leaves change each fall, what we’re really excited for is Halloween and all of the spooky-sweet treats that come with it.
Prepare to be bewitched one more time by the Starbucks secret menu. Now, you can indulge in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter this Halloween with a Frappuccino made to suit your taste—and your Hogwarts house.
Let the Sorting Hat Decide!
If you’re not sure what house you’re in, now is the time to take the quiz and get sorted. All of these recipes come to us from Totally the Bomb, the Starbucks connoisseur who just can’t stop rolling out the secret menu favorites. (Remember the Piña Colada Frappuccino?)
Here’s how to get your order started:
How to Order a Gryffindor Frappuccino
If you’re daring and courageous, you’re probably a Gryffindor. This Frappuccino locks in the look of Gryffindor, featuring a crimson swirl with a golden topping. Have you ever seen anything that looks more…you?
- Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
- One scoop of Ginger Turmeric Powder
- One scoop Strawberry Inclusions
- One pump Ginger Pineapple Syrup
While your beverage is blending, ask your barista to include strawberry puree in the bottom of the cup. Finish this Frappuccino off with a dollop of whipped cream, another scoop of ginger powder and, finally, dried strawberries on top.
How to Order a Hufflepuff Frappuccino
Does loyal, patient and hard-working just scream “you?” If the answer is yes, you’ll want to snap up the Hufflepuff Frappuccino. The creamy, yellow color looks just like your favorite house, and it tastes even better!
- Grande Creme-Based Frappuccino
- One scoop of Ginger Turmeric Powder
- One scoop Java Chips
- Two pumps Ginger Pineapple Syrup
Finish your Hufflepuff Frappuccino with a coat of mocha drizzle on the bottom of your cup, then ask for some whipped cream, cookie crumbles and a little more ginger powder on top. The end product will be fruity and sweet, just like this Rainbow Sherbet Frappuccino recipe.
How to Order a Slytherin Frappuccino
If you’re ambitious, resourceful and totally misunderstood, you’re probably a Slytherin. That means you deserve something as cool and unique as you. Luckily, there’s a Frappuccino for that.
- Grande Green Tea Frappuccino
- Peppermint Syrup (instead of classic sweetener)
- One scoop Java Chips
This drink isn’t complete without a drizzle of mocha on the bottom of the cup. Finally, finish it all off with some whipped cream, cookie crumbles and a sprinkle of that green matcha powder for a minty-sweet treat you won’t be able to put down.
Indulge in these magical Harry Potter-inspired recipes this Halloween, too.
How to Order a Ravenclaw Frappuccino
If you’re a Ravenclaw, you’re probably the wittiest person in the room at any given time. That means you deserve something that’s as smart (and sweet) as you are. This gorgeous, blue and purple Frappuccino is reminiscent of the Blackberry Cobbler Frappuccino, but with a little more oomph.
- Grande Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
- Coconut Milk (instead of whole milk)
- One pump Raspberry Syrup
- One scoop Blackberry Inclusions
Add some whipped cream and a pinch of vanilla bean powder on top, and voila! You’ve got the only Frappuccino fit for a Ravenclaw.
We’re already under the spell of these amazing Frappuccinos. Get to Starbucks ASAP for a taste of your favorite Hogwarts house!
