The ‘secret menu’ of coffee isn’t as secret as you would think- it’s all on the menu! It is easy to come up with interesting drinks just by looking at what flavors the coffee shop has to offer. Just think about what combinations you like, and they will most likely be delicious inside of a hot or iced cup of coffee. Here are some suggestions that could help you stir up your own ideas and java inspirations.

Note: Each drink has syrup added to it. So that you don’t over sweeten your masterpiece, follow these guidelines for how much syrup to add for each size: 1 pump for a small, 2 for a medium, and 3 for a large.
