It’s officially the dog days of summer and hot as heck. And that can only mean one thing: My daily, mid-afternoon pick-me-up (aka my “little sweet treat”) must now be iced, frozen, or somewhere in between. Most days, that means grabbing an ice pop or a scoop from whatever pint of ice cream is cycling through my freezer at the time. But let’s be real—is there anything more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cold, blended beverage? Right on cue, Starbucks has three brand-new Frappuccinos that fans have been waiting months for.
Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino
Have you ever wondered what a chocolate milkshake crossed with a hint of butterscotch might taste like? Meet the Salted Caramel Mocha Strato Frappuccino. This drink combines Frappuccino Roast coffee and mocha sauce, resulting in a rich and sweet concoction.
Topped with a layer of salted caramel-flavored cold foam, it delivers both sweetness and a slight salty contrast. While some may find it too dessert-like, it’s a delightful treat for anyone who craves a decadent experience.
The artful drizzle of caramel on top adds to its visual appeal, making it not only tasty but Instagram-worthy. A perfect indulgence on hot summer afternoons!
Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino
If strawberries and matcha were soulmates, the Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino would be their love child. Starbucks’ unsweetened matcha blends seamlessly with simple syrup and milk, crafting a harmonious balance of flavors.
The strawberry-flavored cream cold foam on top introduces a fresh and floral sweetness that’s both visually and tastefully delightful. This drink is a dream come true for matcha enthusiasts looking for a twist.
It tastes like a matcha milkshake with a berry twist, providing an escape to a world of refreshing bliss. A true testament to why matcha and strawberry are a match made in culinary heaven!
Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino
There’s something undeniably comforting about the warm, spiced flavors of the Brown Sugar Strato Frappuccino. Frappuccino Roast coffee and milk create a sweet, caramelized base that’s topped with brown sugar-flavored cold foam.
The cinnamon dusting elevates the drink, adding a subtle spice that cuts through the sweetness beautifully. For those who enjoy warm, homely flavors, this frappuccino is an absolute winner.
Andrea Lobas sampled it early and noted its balanced sweetness. Enjoy it as a special summer treat, particularly if you’re fond of spiced flavors with a modern twist!
