Chocolate Dalmatian: A White Chocolate Mocha with java and chocolate chips.
Cake Batter Frappuccino: Vanilla and almond syrup added to a Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino. Since almond syrup is usually unavailable, hazelnut syrup and white mocha recommended as substitutes.

French Press: Starbucks will brew any of the coffee they sell in a French Press.
