I have a confession: I am not a fan of secret menus. In my humble opinion, the fast-food Gods have blessed us with perfect food items and we should be happy for what we get (plus I always feel like a SUPREME idiot ordering off-menu). But one Starbucks secret menu item has intrigued me so much I may have to swallow my pride and give it a try: It's called the Cinderella Latte.

This magical item was reported on (and taste tested) by The Kitchn but was actually discovered by the Instagrammer @happiestteesonearth.

The Cinderella Latte is one of the most popular variations on the PSL. To make it, you order a Pumpkin Spice Latte and you swap out half of the pumps of pumpkin with pumps of white mocha. That's all!

Raise your hand if you have already tried my Disney inspired version of the classic Pumkin Spice Latte?! I still CANNOT believe the number of DM’s, posts and stories that are still coming in. This pic taken by @inkprincess143 of her Cinderella Latte is one of my faves! - THE STORY: I was a barista @starbucks for 7 years here in the Seattle area and I came up with a couple of Disney inspired drinks to spread a little magic to my customers & coworkers. I’ll be sharing another one soon! - CINDERELLA LATTE RECIPE: - Order a Pumpkin Spice Latte - Can be made hot, iced or a blended Frappuccino. - Sub half of the Pumpkin Spice pumps with White Mocha (Or if you have a real sweet tooth, try full pumps of each! ??) - The white pumpkin reminded me of Cinderella’s coach and that’s why I call it the Cinderella Latte ??? - THE TEE!! Cinderella latte tees are in the shop now! - YOUR HOMEWORK: Now, go try one for yourself and tag me in your post or stories.

In case you're wondering where the magical name came from, Happiest Tees On Earth said the pumps of white mocha mixed with the pumpkin reminded her of a white pumpkin aka Cinderella's magical coach that takes her to the ball.

People are downright obsessed with this drink, with hundreds trying it for themselves and using the hashtag. It's gotten rave reviews from many, and testers are saying it provides a nice balance of flavor between the pumpkin and the white chocolate and is a great alternative to the classic PSL. In fact, it's gotten so popular, that Happiest Tees On Earth released shirts dedicated to it.

So I guess all that's left to do is don your best glass slippers, and ask your fairy godmother (aka your barista) for one of these yourself.
