After Instagram recently lost their collective minds over Starbucks’ (not-so) secret Pink Drink and subsequent Purple Drink, it only made sense to complete the frappy rainbow.

Twenty-year-old artist, Carrah Aldridge, takes the mermaid-adorned cups and vastly improves them with original art. The cup designs are created with Sharpies markers, a white gel pen and copic markers.
Just don’t color any of them red, Carrah… we don’t want any trouble.
