Starbucks Unleashes A Green, Halloween-Themed 'Franken Frappuccino'
Too old for trick-or-treating? Sexy costumes just not your thing? Don’t worry, you can still celebrate Halloween this year with an exclusive Franken Frappuccino. Don’t let the iced beverage’s ghoulish green coloring put you off. The green tea-flavored drink topped with peppermint syrup, white mocha, java chips, and a mocha drizzle is bound make even the scariest of monsters crack a smile.
The drink is available from Oct. 29 to 31, and after 2 p.m. a grande size will only cost you $3. Unfortunately, the Franken Frappuccino is only available at select stores, The Week reported, but according to a Starbucks fan blog, any barista should be able to make it if they follow this simple recipe. Starbucks employees told Fox News that their newest holiday drink tastes like their minty Grasshopper Frappuccino. According to one reddit user, Callthewindreddit, “It tastes like a Frappuccino version of mint chocolate ice cream — super yummy.”
Although there’s no actual coffee in the drink, I’m sure your barista won’t mind adding a shot of espresso to help you stay alert through today’s festivities.
Sadly, Pumpkin Spice Latte season is quickly coming to an end, but if the Franken Frappuccino isn’t enough to fill that pumpkin-sized hole, don’t fret. The Chestnut Praline Latte (CPL) is set to make its much anticipated debut on Nov. 12. It will be the first new holiday beverage in five years, and although it actually debuted last year in a few select cities, this year it will be available nationwide. The Huffington Post reported that the actual CPL cup will be available starting Nov. 1 for those who really can’t wait to get into the holiday coffee spirit.
