Starbucks’ Halloween Frappuccino is finally here, and it was worth the wait.
The drink has all ingredients one needs for a perfect potion: Toad’s breath, bat warts and lizard scale. Well, at least that’s what they’re telling us.
The Witch’s Brew Frappuccino is purple and green, and has a blend of “toad’s breath” and orange crème Frappuccino. Plus, a swirl of green “bat warts” made with chia seeds. To finish up, the drink is topped with vanilla whipped cream and dusting of green “lizard scale” powder.
The Frappuccino is available on participating Starbucks stories in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and select markets in the Caribbean starting today, Oct. 25. It will only be on the menu for a limited time, so you should be running (or flying) to the nearest Starbucks you can find.
Plus, if a drink is not enough, the coffee chain is bringing back the Mummy Cake Pop and adding a new item to the menu: The Raccoon Sugar Cookie.
Starbucks + Halloween: A story
The announcement is making us really happy because we were seriously envious of the drinks the coffee giant had released exclusively on its Japan locations. Deemed the Halloween Witch and Halloween Princess, both drinks give a unique twist on a fall-appropriate apple flavor.
The Princess drink is a milk sweet apple blend consisting of an apple base mixed with white mocha to give it that pastel pink color. Sprinkles top the drink, making it look like it’s straight out of a fairy tale.
Of course, we were hopeful they would come up with something just as good for the U.S., following last year’s Zombie Frappuccino. The a green apple-flavored drink with caramel had brains (aka pink whipped cream) and a red mocha drizzle were the finishing touches.
The coffee chain’s Singapore locations also released a vampire-inspired drink last year. The Frappuccino consisted of a chocolate cream blended with strawberry sauce. Whipped cream with mimicked vamp bites were the topping of choice.
In 2015 and 2016, the U.S. saw the release of another vampire-inspired drink, the Frappula Frappuccino. The concoction gave us some major MCR vibes circa Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge era.
