I have a couple 'signature' drinks that I've came up with at my time at the BUX.

1) Fruity Delight
--Fill up to the first green line with lemonade.
--Fill up to the second green line with mango naked juice.
--Put in a splash of strawberry.
--Scoop of ice
--1 pump of classic, 1 pump of melon.

2) Passion Tea (sinful version)
--Fill the first line of the shaker with passion tea.
--Fill half the second line with lemonade.
--Fill the other half of the second line with apple juice.
--Put in a splash of strawberry.
--3 pumps of classic, 3 pumps of melon, & 3 pumps of Raspberry.
--Scoop of ice, shake, and enjoy.

Your turn. :D

Dont get caught with the AJ... you cant mark it out! Be careful! They will fire any one for anything these days!

But my favie "signature" drink is an iced CM with TN instead of V, with XCRS!! Simple, but so delish!!!!!

I love the PSL with just 2pumps of PS and 2pumps WM--iced or hot, it's delightful!
Also, this may be old, but a GRTL with SFV instead of melon and no H2O is tasty!

Wow, Fruity Delight sounds so good! Although it sounds like it would be even better with an ounce or two of coconut rum. Now I wish we had the mango stuff.

Pink-e, fired for apple juice? Even if it is your free drink for the day? I like to leave with an iced CAS, if it's a warm night.

I believe what Pink-e is referring to is the Starbucks policy that we cannot mark out anything with Apple Juice in it. Reason being is AJ is a third-party company and we have to purchase our products from it at commercial rates--not Starbucks owned.

How did you manage to mark out a CAS? =o

You can't markout ANYTHING with AJ--the POS won't let you!

Not all partner beverages go in the POS, you know. Only in a perfect world. ;] Especially not after a close.

Hella Fatty Mint Chip Ice Cream Frappuccino:
- creme base to the first line
- 3p WM & 3p P
- 2 scoops of matcha (You can't taste it; It's for the color.)
- 3 scoops of chips
- ice, of course
(If you're looking to gain 5 pounds in 5 minutes.)

My regular markout though is usually a:
- triple
- Grande
- whole milk
- X-H
- 1 Splenda
- Latte.

Borrrrring, but so delicious. :]

The normal iced 6 pump no water one pump SFV chai really never gets old for me. Also, any of the ice teas are fantastic.

Once A former SM of mine brought in cheesecake. So I blended it with creme base and strawberry sauce, till this day it makes me drool.

1) Frappleberrycino-
~ apple juice to the first line in blender pitcher
~ Strawberry sauce second line
~ 2 pumps Cinn. Dolce syrup

Maybe this is widely known but:
Strawberries and creme frappucino + hazelnut syrup = Captain Crunch Cereal.
Try it out if you haven't but it's way too sweet to drink in more than just small doses.

@Gloomy: Mmmm! That sounds delish!
I have one kinda similar:

Apple Pie Frappuccino:
- creme base to the first line
- AJ to the second
- 3p CD
- appropriate ice scoop

Ta-da!

A girl I work with had me make this for her one day, and it tastes like that Minute Maid Fruit Punch, if anyone remembers that stuff:

Passion Tea
Water
Equal pumps of Melon and Classic (so for a tall, 3+3, etc).

It's nothing but sugar... but holy mother was it tasty.

Oh oh... and nothing beats blended strawberry lemonade in the summertime with some vodka added (at home, of course ^_^).

Haha, blacksheep! Hi, btw, haven't seen you in a while. :]
The BSL reminds me, we had a 17 year-old **** that got fired for NOT adding the vodka at home, HAHA!

Oh yes, hello :) I no longer have internet at home (can't afford it on the ol' Sbux salary), so I only get it when I'm at my other job. And I've been gone for the holidays and whatnot... but I'm back. Still with the fiery rage induced by the Siren :)

Decaf, I tried the mint-chocolate frappuccino and it was good, it did taste like ice cream.

I'm thinking the new Chai infusions would be good with CD syrup, that's next on my list to try.

Coffeecakeaccino:

-Creme base to between the lines
-1 piece coffeecake (classic, r/f cinn, whatever you like)
-appropriate ice scoop
-blend and vomit

:)

Oreo frappuccino:
Same recipe as a vanilla bean frap but add scoops of chocolate chips to the blend! (i always added about 3 for tall, 5 for grande and 7 for venti) and a pump of mocha if you want
and then sprinkle mocha bar powder on top of the whipped cream :]

And for PTL, i always do half classic half raspberry syrup

for CAS, I use caramel syrup instead of cinnamon so it tastes a little tangier

@DecafForAssholes: I always wanted to do a apple pie frapp, but could never achieve the desired taste. I'm definitely trying this one.

@ blacksheepbarista: " Blend and Vomit" OMG..I couldn't stop laughing.

For you old School people:
I use to throw brownie bites into a coffee Frapp , with a shot of Espresso.

For those who had The Nightmare Sorbetto:
I used Strawberry sauce instead of the mango sauce in the Tangy Sorbetto.

@Gloomy: I tried the Frappleberryccino. It was AMAZING!! :] And for the apple Frappuccino, try C (or SFC) instead of the CD (or SFCD) if you don't like it the first time. I made the both for my partners and I swear that the number of people who liked each one was exactly half and half (breve? haha). The brownie bite/coffee Frappuccino sounds good too, but we don't get brownie bites at my store anymore. Sadness.

@Perfectionist: Yay! I'm glad you tried it and liked it! :]

@blacksheep: We do the same thing at out store. For a less fattening option, instead of creme base, we do nonfat (or whatever you like) milk.

Hmm...
Worst cost-effective signature drink: strawberry water. Fill tea shaker to top line, and fill will appropriate h2o & ice, then shake. People are vomitous
Best bizarre idea: blend cbb or soy (to bottom line of course) then add 1 of the mixed fruit bowls we sell and a couple scoops of vanilla bean powder....and BINGO! A Fruity Smoothie!

Cap'n Crunch Frapp:

Strawberries 'n' Creme + appropriate pump for size of Toffee Nut.

HOLY MOTHER IT'S LIKE DRINKABLE CRUNCH BERRIES.

@DARKRAOST: Oh good god, Strawberry water! At first we all didn't mind because it was just this one cool chick that would come in everyday. We didn't know what to charge her for, so I just charged the $.40 for the Strawberry. But I guess she told all her friends, and their friends told their friends' friends and so on. Pretty soon, we would literally get cars that would order like 10 of them at a time. Talk about annoying. So my SM started charging people for a BSL and then they stopped ordering them. Took care of that problem, never to be ordered again!

@Decaf: They actually have a default ring at the POS for the SH2o! We get them all the f-in time! I can't remember what the price is...

Really?! I've never seen it, but I guess I've never paid that much attention. But I will check today, and see what the price is....

I like: In the blender apple jucie to the bottom line, one pump of white mocha, a tiny splash of strawberry, and ice blend thing! IT's very refreshing and delicious.
