How to Order (Secret) Valentine’s Day-Themed Frappuccinos at Starbucks

Thanks to the innovative mind of Arizona Starbucks employee Tony Aguilar, you have three new Valentine’s Day-themed frappuccinos to try this heart-filled season.

Aptly dubbed the “Valentine Frappuccino,” “Love Bean Frappuccino,” and “Java Berry Frappuccino,” these raspberry-based drinks will surely please even those most cynical of the Feb. 14 holiday.

According to Cosmopolitan, Aguilar started experimenting on the blended beverages to complement the store’s Valentine’s Day merchandise. Not long after, he shared his handiwork on Reddit, where the news quickly took off.

“I was actually surprised with how popular they became,” Aguilar told Cosmo.

Despite the fame, they haven’t quite yet made it onto the regular Starbucks menu, but don’t worry—All hope isn’t lost.

“If customers would like to order a beverage that is not listed on our menu, we recommend they know the recipe so that their barista can handcraft the beverage perfectly for them,” a Starbucks spokesperson told Cosmo.

So, if you’re as tempted to try to these sweet treats as we are, here’s what you need to tell your favorite Sbux barista:
