starbucks' secret menu

I'm sure like many of you...you've always heard of a restaurant's "secret menu", but never thought about ordering an item. Now that it's red cup season, Starbucks outings are a must. So I've decided to research their secret menu and give y'all the details on ordering these yummy, festive, and creative drinks. The key to this secret menu is the names vary, but if you order by the ordering recipe, you'll have a delicious "secret" drink. Here are some of my favorites:
