I Tried Halloween-Inspired Drinks From Starbucks' Secret Menu: Photos

The worst-tasting drink, in my opinion, was the spookiest-looking: the Witches' Cauldron Tea. But if you're a passion-fruit tea drinker, this may still hit the spot.

The Witches' Cauldron Tea is typically an Iced Passion Tea with no water, half soy milk, three pumps of pineapple syrup, and topped with cold foam made with coconut milk and one scoop of matcha powder.

My store didn't carry pineapple syrup, so it wasn't included, and I can't have coconut milk, so the cold foam was made with 2% milk. Still, I knew it was one of the more interesting-looking drinks, so I wanted to give some variation of it a try.

A grande, or 16 ounces, cost me $6.60.

Visually, it did not disappoint. The swirl of purple Passion Tea and green-tinged cold foam definitely resembled a witch's cauldron. On my spooky scale, it gets an 8/10. It would rank higher if not for the fact that it eventually all melds together, and the purple disappears. But it's good for a quick, scary pic when you first get it. 

That said, I don't think the flavors worked together. I'm not a Passion Tea fan, so maybe I'm just not the right audience for this drink, but to me, it was way too sour — even after a good swirl to mix the foam and tea.

But if you love Passion Tea and prefer it to the coffee alternative, hop on your broom to your nearest Starbucks and give this a try.
