Whether you’ve got an insane sweet tooth or a simple love of Starbucks Frappuccinos, the return of these three Frapps should be on your radar. The S’mores Frappuccino, Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino, and Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino are the fan favorites returning to the menu this summer. They each offer double layers of whipped cream and mouthwatering flavors. What more could a poolside girl/guy want? Get your tan self to Starbucks for these sugary, summery, deliciously amazing drinks.
S'mores Frappuccino
Starbucks claims that this limited-edition drink brings back the nostalgia of roasting s’mores in the summertime, and it does exactly that. Just like the fleeting days of summer, this Frapp is available only for a limited time, so don’t wait. The bottom layer consists of whipped cream infused with marshmallow and chocolate syrup. With the first sip, you get that s’mores flavor. The base of the drink is a traditional blend of coffee, vanilla, milk, and ice. The final topping is graham cracker with more marshmallow whipped cream and graham cracker crumble. I'd recommend trying each layer as it's poured, then mixing them all together to achieve complete s’mores fusion. If you want to enjoy this creation without the coffee, order the S’mores Crème Frappuccino - same delicious recipe, minus the coffee blend.
Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino
Caramel lovers, this is the drink for you. Picture this: Your standard order Caramel Frappuccino, but better! I bet you thought it wasn't possible. It starts with the traditional layer, whipped cream, which is then topped with dark caramel sauce. But Starbucks knows that us caramel-crazed customers need more: The drink is topped with more whipped cream, more caramel sauce, and crunch caramel to our sugary delight. Just like the S’mores Frappuccino, order the crème version if you prefer it without coffee.
Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
This Frappuccino has a large fan base, and for good reason. Interest is probably first sparked by the name, which is essentially a chocolate fanatic’s dream. But the fandom is solidified by the formula. The bottom layer, of course, starts with whipped cream. But this time, Starbucks has added cookie crumbles. The base is a blend of Starbucks Frappuccino chocolate chips, Frappuccino Coffee Roast, and mocha sauce with milk and ice. If you're seeking chocolate overload, don't fret. The drink is topped with whipped cream that's drizzled with mocha sauce and sprinkled with cookie crumbles. An explosion of chocolate that also contains your daily dose of caffeine? Sold.
To put your favorite summer activity (roasting s’mores), in a beverage is a challenge. To one-up the original caramel Frapp seems impossible. But to satisfy a chocolate, coffee, and cookie craving all in one drink is something we never knew we needed and now we can't live without. There’s no better time than this summer to load up on sugar and treat yourself to what you really, really want. Bring on the extra whip.
