If you have been feeling the “Lavender Haze” creeping up on you, trust us, you are not alone. This is one of our favorite songs off the newest Taylor Swift album.
Midnights has been out since last fall but the “Lavender Haze” video just dropped recently. The video has already gotten over 20 million views and we expect it to crack the 100 million mark with relative ease.
In addition to becoming a runaway smash hit, the song has even managed to spawn its very own Starbucks beverage. @alexiaencinas13 took to TikTok to share more and as you would expect, she is a bit of a Taylor Swift fanatic. Is there even a different kind of Taylor Swift fan? It feels like the type of thing where you are expected to be all in.
Now, she is here to provide the instructions, so that everyone is able to take home a Lavender Haze of their own.
We are very grateful for this because we tend to struggle with all of the secret menu beverages that TikTok always tries to put us onto. The barista is not going to know how to make this one and you will have to instruct them.
According to Elite Daily, it all starts by asking the barista at your local Starbucks for an Iced Passion Mango Tea. This is a non-caffeinated hibiscus tea and it is naturally sweetened with fruit juice, apple juice and cinnamon. It has the loveliest dark pink hue as well. Once the milk has been added, this is where the lavender comes into play.
When Alexia orders the drink, she gets it with soy milk. You can swap that out for whatever dairy option you prefer, so no worries there. For depth and sweetness, you can ask for six pumps of vanilla if you are getting the venti size.
For those who are getting a smaller size beverage, you will want to take that amount down a bit, so that the drink is not overly sweet.

Meanwhile, those who are in search of something a bit more decadent can add honey syrup and a scoop of blackberry. The vanilla sweet cold foam is a nice final touch.
If you need any inspiration for the beverage during your next Starbucks run, this is your cue to start streaming the “Lavender Haze” video as soon as possible:
