The Starbucks “secret menu” isn’t a series of drinks that the company keeps hidden from customers so much as it is a subculture. Drinks at the coffee shop are customizable, and thus, it’s not uncommon for customers and baristas to concoct their own beverages. When they become popular enough, they seem to enter the secret menu canon.
Social media is inspiring new drinks all the time, and these TikTok Starbucks drinks are some of the latest favorites.

Remember to be mindful of your baristas when ordering a custom drink
A viral photo of an impossibly long custom Starbucks drink order called into question how rude it is to order a drink like this. With the added note that the drink ended up being free, baristas urged customers to consider their time and resources when ordering complicated drinks.
Try to avoid ordering something complex during peak order time, and tip when you can.
