PSA: Starbucks has just launched a new mango Solero smoothie.
Well, kind of.
It has emerged this week that the coffee giant is offering customers across the UK the exclusive smoothie, but only if they order from their ‘secret menu.’
Now, rumours of Starbucks’ secret menu have been rife for a while, with people speculating whether the elusive menu is real or simply just a myth.
Well, I can confirm that it is very real, and that a whole array of exciting new and usually unheard of drinks can be ordered from it.
The trick to mastering the Starbucks secret menu is in the ordering. Simply asking for ‘the orange drink that tastes like my holiday to Spain’ just won’t cut it (and will probably annoy your barista). Sadly, you have to be painstakingly specific when it comes to what’s in them.
So, if you’re fancying one of their sensational Solero smoothies, here’s what you need to know.
TikTok user Emma Nicole, who presumably works at Starbucks, dedicates her account to showcasing new products and, most importantly, those elusive secret orders.
In her latest video, she explained that the standard tropical mango drink comes blended with black tea – not very Solero-esque, is it?
BUT, if you ask for it with pouring cream instead of black tea, the finished result will taste exactly like a mango Solero ice lolly.
And that isn’t the only delicious mango flavoured drink you can get your hands on – there’s such thing as a Mango Passion Refresher, which is Hibiscus Tea Lemonade with mango puree at the bottom.
Why is it that mango makes everything taste better?
