You’ve gotten a taste of spooky Starbucks secret menu Halloween drinks like the Frankenstein Frappuccino and the Jack Skellington Frappuccino.
We’ve also shared how to order a Frappuccino based on your Hogwarts house. Well, prepare to be bewitched one more time by a secret menu Frapp from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: the Polyjuice Potion Frappuccino.
How Do I Order a Polyjuice Potion Frappuccino?
This recipe comes to us from Totally the Bomb, the Starbucks genius who can’t stop rolling out the secret menu favorites. It’s a vivid green color, which looks exactly like the potion Hermione brews in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
First, you start by ordering a Grande Green Tea Frappuccino made with coconut milk. Then, ask for a scoop of the ginger turmeric powder and one pump of the pineapple syrup. To finish it off, ask for more matcha and ginger powder on top of the drink.
That’s all there is to it! You’ll have a drink that’s a shocking shade of neon green, so there’s no question that it looks like a secret potion. We can’t promise it will actually turn you into someone else, but it might transform your taste buds.
Is it Possible to Order This Frappuccino All Year?
While the Polyjuice Potion Frappuccino seems like a Halloween-themed drink, there’s nothing holding you back from ordering one year-round. All the ingredients needed to concoct this secret menu drink are a part of Starbucks regular menu—no fluxweed, lacewing flies or Boomslang skin needed.
Just make sure to have the recipe with you or order via the Starbucks app, because baristas aren’t trained on making any of the secret menu drinks. It’s also good practice to order these more complicated drinks during off-peak hours, so you don’t hold up the line. It’s time to Apparate to Starbucks!
