No, you cannot. The other drinks will not give you the option to add extra milk to it, especially if it’s not made with milk at all.

I think this is for your good, as it would be unthinkable to add milk to certain drinks. Imagine adding an extra splash of milk to lemonade. How odd and gross!

Which drink options can I add extra milk on the Starbucks app?

You can add extra milk to drinks such as brewed coffee, Americano, cold brew coffee, and iced coffee. You have the option to add any type of milk you’d like, including non-dairy milk alternatives. More so, when you add an extra splash of a non-dairy milk alternative to your drink, you get it for free.

How do you request for extra milk in-store?

For extra milk when in the store, all you have to do is ask your barista to add an extra splash of milk to your order. This makes me remember when I tried to ask for an extra splash of milk on my order but did not address my barista kindly. I was in such a hurry that I even forgot to tip them. I got my extra splash of milk, but I also got a side eye and sneer. Don’t be like me. Be kind and ensure you tip your barista.
