TikTok is the birthplace of many trends, and none have been as successful as the TikTok Starbucks drink. These are customized orders created by TikTok influencers and spread around the globe until baristas end up making them on a daily basis.
Not officially on the Starbucks menu, they’re so popular that they’re considered to be on the “Secret Menu”.
Your local barista isn’t trained in making these concoctions, so it’s a good idea to run them through the ingredients and how you’d like it to be made rather than just giving them the name of the drink.

Questions about ordering TikTok drinks
As awesome as it is to be able to order a drink on the Starbucks app, if you’re ordering a TikTok drink then you should do it in person. You won’t be able to add all of the customizations on the app, and it’s easier to explain things in-person to your barista.
A customized drink will always cost more than a base drink due to the things you’re adding to it. To give you a guide, if you add sweet cream cold foam to any drink you’ll be charged an additional $1.
For the longest-standing and most popular Tik Tok Starbucks drink, you’d have to go to the Iced White Mocha with Sweet Cream Foam and Extra Caramel Drizzle. So, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, and you’re good at remembering complicated drinks orders, you should give it a try!
