This Starbucks Secret Menu Ombré Drink Lights Up Like a Fourth of July Firecracker

If you consider yourself a Starbucks connoisseur, you may already know about the secret menu and all its hidden glory. If you don’t know what the secret menu is, allow me to explain. Starbucks offers so many amazing drinks with an endless array of flavors that almost anything is possible.

The Starbucks secret menu takes classic drinks, adds ingredients and results in beautiful concoctions like the Twix Frappuccino. So what’s the next trend, you might ask? Well, it’s absolutely MADE for July 4th!

How Do I Order the Ombré Firecracker?

You can thank totallythebomb.com for this wicked recipe. Let’s get started.

First, you’ll order a Venti (or whatever you’re feeling) Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher without the dragonfruit pieces. Next, ask for a pump of raspberry syrup. Then, after the raspberry syrup, ask for a topping of Passion Tea, which is where the bright pop of color comes from. You’ll want to make sure the Passion Tea comes totally last (that means on top of the ice) otherwise you’ll miss out on that sweet, sweet ombré effect.
