When it comes to the Starbucks secret menu, there are a lot of drinks inspired by pop culture. So, it should come as no surprise that Friends has inspired a few drinks of its own.
Are you still obsessed with the show Friends? Have you seen every episode, in many cases more than once? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you might be excited to know that there are actually Starbucks secret menu items inspired by the series.
It turns out that some baristas decided to have a little fun with the menu and create their own drinks inspired by Friends, according to Delish. From Frappuccinos inspired by the show, to other drinks with a focus on the characters themselves, it seems that there is an entire secret menu of drinks for fans of the show to enjoy.
While some Starbucks locations actually offered these drinks for their customers to order, if you want to give these Friends inspired drinks a try, you won’t be able to ask for them by name. But, that’s okay, because we have a few different options for you to try if you are the ultimate fan of Monica, Chandler, and the rest of the Friends gang.
Up first, we have the Joey, which is simply a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino with the addition of White Mocha. If this sounds familiar to you, then you would be right, as the iced version of this drink is actually the Cinderella Latte we talked about recently.
The Rachel drink is actually quite fitting, if not very original. To snag a Rachel, simply order a Skinny Caramel Macchiato and add an espresso shot.
There is also a Friends Frappuccino which was apparently inspired by the orange of Monica’s couch, as well as the purple of the apartment itself. For this, you need to order a raspberry cream Frappuccino and then add in a scoop of dragonfruit pieces, plus you will want to ask for a ring of pumpkin sauce around the cup. Once it’s all blended together, and you add it to the sauced cup, you end up with a Frappuccino that offers a contrast of colors that scream Friends.
Another option is the Smelly Cat Frappuccino. For this drink you will want to order a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino made with coconut milk. From there you will ask for a splash of guava juice, plus pieces of dragonfruit.
For characters like Chandler and Ross, the drinks are simply standard menu items that the different Starbucks locations who participated decided to have a little fun with. For instance, a Ross is just a Flat White, and a Chandler is a Salted Caramel Mocha.
For fans of the classic show, this is a great way to have some fun and feel a little nostalgic about the good old days. Either that, or miss the humor that was such a great part of watching these six friends live their lives in New York City.
