Last year, Starbucks tried to spook us with brains on our Frappuccino. This time around, they’ve concocted a real witch’s brew.
The Witch’s Brew Frappuccino isn’t made with tongue of bat and eye of newt, but it is orange creme-flavored and colored purple. AAAAHHH!!!
It also contains a swirl of “bat warts” (chia seeds), and is topped with vanilla whipped cream and a dusting of green “lizard scale” powder. Be kind to your barista, or you may end up a toad. Happy Halloween, everybody.
For those who believe that Starbucks’ Unicorn, Dragon or Zombie Frappuccinos were a bit much — Starbucks Mexico has toned it down a bit with some new drink options.
Bubble Gum and Cotton Candy Frappuccinos are wonderfully minimalist and available in simple pastel pink or blue. As mentioned, these drink options are only available in Mexico for a limited time. So, head for the border if sickly sweet and soft hues are your thing.

Just when you thought that recent Starbucks‘ specialty drinks have been the pits, they went ahead and created a drink… Erh, with a pit in it?
The Starbucks Avocado Blended is the frappuccino that avocado-enthusiasts didn’t know they needed. Made to look like the halved fruit, the pit is made possible with a chocolate sphere. Finally, an avocado pit that’s of use and easily-removed.
Currently, the Avocado Blended is available at Starbucks in South Korea. Although, we can’t imagine these won’t soon wind up in parts of Brooklyn being spread on toast.

Quick… What does your coffee house-squatting, latte-drinking future hold? Nobody knows, except perhaps the barista making your Starbucks Crystal Ball Frappuccino.
The ‘bucks latest concoction is made from “a mystical, swirling peach infusion topped with peach flavored whipped cream, turquoise sprinkles and one of three different candy gems that reveal your fortune.”
Although, we’re not sure what that “fortune” entails, it’s probably safe to predict that there’s a resentful barista in your future. Enjoy.
First, there were blended coffee drinks reminiscent of unicorns. Unicorns begat zombies. Now, Starbucks looks to continue the blended beverage horror, just in time for Christmas.
The Christmas Tree Frappuccino is here to help bring the Christmas cheer to everyone… that is, everyone except the baristas that’ll have to make them. The beverage is a mocha and peppermint frapp to help taste just like Christmas. To make it look the part, it’s then topped with matcha-infused whipped cream, caramel drizzle, candied cranberry sprinkles and a strawberry ‘tree’ topper.
Getting into the Christmas spirit via a coffee tree is only available from December 7th-11th. Find out more about the Christmas Tree Frappuccino here.
