Because peppermint is available year-round at Starbucks, you can create even more secret menu creations. For example, instead of starting with the Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino, opt for the Vanilla Bean version and add in java chips and peppermint syrup. You won't get that vibrant green color, but you'll still get all the minty, chocolatey flavors. Or, if you really want to get fancy, try ordering this minty concoction: A grande Matcha Crème Frappuccino with one pump of classic syrup, four pumps of peppermint syrup, two pumps of mocha sauce, and a cup lined with mocha sauce. Then add three scoops of vanilla bean powder and one scoop of protein powder, and top with whipped cream. You'll get a boost of caffeine, protein, and deliciousness. When it comes to ordering custom Starbucks drinks, doing so in-person is important because the app and website don't allow for adding matcha scoops or other non-traditional add-ins.
