Starbucks always know how to best celebrate the holidays and this year you can get in the festive spirit with an off-menu Christmas punch customized by a Starbucks fan.
Each winter, coffee chain Starbucks conjures up a new menu of seasonal treats and drinks. Bidding goodbye to fall’s Pumpkin Spice Latte, the menu makes way for more traditional Christmassy flavors such as peppermint and cinnamon.
Now, it appears there’s a Christmas punch you can get your hands on this December. YouTuber Trisha Paytas shed light on the seasonal drink, enjoying one in her latest video (Wednesday, December 14).
So, what is in the Starbucks Christmas punch and how can you get one this holiday season? Let’s take a look.
What is in the Starbucks Christmas punch?
Any Starbucks lover will know that there is a secret menu at the coffee chain. Not only that, coffee lovers can develop their own secret menus by customizing drinks. Starbucks allows their customers to create their own custom beverages. Just know exactly which pumps you want of what and you’re good to go with a personalized drink!
Because of this, there are some Starbucks fans who create and share unique drink ideas. These are all off menu drinks, so you’ll have to be specific when ordering so the Starbucks barista knows exactly what you’re after.
Trisha Paytas got the recipe for the Starbucks Christmas punch from an Instagram account under the handle @starbiesdrinkideas. They have created a customized punch which revolves around a green tea lemonade with added apple and raspberry.
How to get the Starbucks Christmas punch
If you want to try out the Christmas punch customized by Starbies Drink Ideas, then you’ll need to ask for exactly what the Instagrammer suggests. Don’t just ask for the Christmas punch as it is not from the official Starbucks menu.
Starbies Drink Ideas explains to say the following: “Hi, can I please have a Venti iced Green Tea Lemonade with a splash of apple juice, 4 pumps Raspberry & Fruit Inclusions of Choice.”
They then add that they “added dried raspberry from Target, but I suggest Dragonfruit or Strawberry from Starbucks.
