What is a Frappuccino?

Frappuccinos are frozen sweet drinks that are made in a blender. It is an exclusive Starbucks drink and the name Frappuccino comes from the combination of the words "frappe" and "cappuccino".

Tips for Ordering Frappuccinos

• drink sizes
  Frappuccinos come in Tall (12 oz.), Large (16 oz.) and Venti (24 oz.) sizes. Starbucks has smaller (short 8 oz) and larger (thirty 30 oz) cups, but Frappuccinos can only be ordered from these 3drink sizes.
• no sugar free option
  All Frappuccinos are made with a Frappuccino syrup that gives the drink a smooth milkshake-like consistency. This syrup is made with sugar, so you can't ask for a frappuccino without sugar.
• Caffeinated, Decaf, and Decaf Options
  Almost all Frappuccinos have a coffee version and a cream-based version (without coffee). The coffee version can be ordered decaf.
• add more caffeine
  To add extra caffeine to your Frappuccino, get it with extra pumps of Frappuccino Roast (Starbucks instant coffee blend) or by adding espresso.
• non-milk
  Swap the milk for a plant-based milk like soy or oat milk, and skip the whipping cream so your frappuccino is dairy-free.
• Light up your Frappuccino
  To cut calories, skip the whipped cream or ask for just a little. Reduce the number of syrup pumps to reduce sweetness and calories. All Frappuccinos are made with whole milk, so ask for a preparation with 2% milk or non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or coconut milk.
