Those are all part of the Starbucks "secret menu," and we found three cool free iPhone apps that'll help you order those and plenty more, too.

Secret Menu for Starbucks

Secret Menu for Starbucks offers a list of off-menu drinks, but adds in its own little social network where users can post photos of their drinks and comment on their friend's drinks. You can submit drink recipes, follow other users, and a US$0.99 in-app purchase removes ads.

Secret menus are common at many restaurants, although at Starbucks it's so secret that the company doesn't even have an official recipe book tucked away. The best baristas already know how to make a lot of off-menu drinks, but having an app handy on your iPhone means you'll always get exactly the drink you want.
