Warm Up With These Hot Drinks from Starbucks Secret Menu

With winter here, it’s time to chill on the iced coffee and go for something hot. And since Adam Driver isn’t available (supposedly), then these Starbucks secret menu hot drinks will help you warm up.

From secret menu lattes to teas to fancy hot chocolates, there’s not much more Starbucks could offer aside from an IV coffee hook-up in front of the fireplace. In the meantime, just order your drink of choice following the below directions and not by the name itself. Otherwise you’re gonna risk the cold and annoy your barista for nothing.
