Starbucks customers can elevate their beverage experience by requesting their drinks to be shaken. This simple request ensures that all add-ins, from syrups to drizzles, are evenly mixed, offering a perfectly balanced flavor in every sip. This service is available in-store and at the drive-thru.
Ensure Perfect Flavor Balance: Request Your Starbucks Drink Shaken for Even Distribution
In a report by Tasting Table, Starbucks offers a wide selection of drinks, many of which come with various add-ins like cow's milk or plant-based alternatives, flavored syrups such as hazelnut or peppermint, mocha or caramel drizzle, cinnamon powder, or sweet cream. However, these ingredients can sometimes settle at the bottom of the cup, leading to uneven distribution and an overly concentrated last sip. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: customers can request their barista to shake their drink when ordering. This ensures the beverage is thoroughly mixed, far more effectively than stirring with a straw.
At an Estero, Florida, Starbucks location, it was confirmed that baristas are willing to shake any drink upon request. So, if you're ordering a drink with ingredients that don’t naturally blend, don’t worry—ask for a shake when ordering in person or at the drive-thru. Unfortunately, this option isn't available through the mobile app, so you’ll need to make your request in person.
Starbucks' Pre-Shaken Iced Drinks Ensure Even Flavors; Customize Your Own by Requesting a Shake
Starbucks has previously practiced shaking beverages. The chain already offers a variety of iced drinks that come pre-shaken, including the Iced Shaken Espresso, Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, Iced Hazelnut Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, and Oleato Golden Foam Iced Shaken Espresso with Toffeenut. The barista shakes these drinks to ensure the ingredients are well-incorporated, resulting in a bubbly, evenly mixed beverage.
While Starbucks' pre-shaken drinks are popular, sometimes customers desire something different. Requesting a shake is especially useful when ordering from Starbucks' secret menu, which often includes multiple add-ins like syrups, powders, or toppings. For example, the viral White Mocha drink from TikTok won’t deliver the expected flavor if the caramel syrup sinks to the bottom of the cup. You can ensure your custom creation tastes right by asking for a shake.
