Starbucks has done it again! No, they didn’t just give me yet another delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte – they’ve suckered me into buying another of their limited edition drinks, the Zombie Frappuccino.
According to my Starbucks app Inbox, this drink hit stores yesterday, but I was busy with, ya know… life… and didn’t get a chance to get one. But today is a different story. Soooooooo… is it worth it?
Let’s start with the flavors – Starbucks says it’s a green caramel apple (solid) with a dark mocha drizzle (also solid), and a “brain” of pink colored whip (not flavored). Flavorwise I was MUCH more pleased with this drink than that Unicorn abomination from a few weeks ago, but the bar was so low there that I’m not sure that says anything.
Moving on to how it looks – This drink is definitely Instagram worthy as long as your barista is committed to her craft. My barista at The River in Rancho Mirage NAILED IT!.
So final verdict…
I actually liked it!
It’s WAAAAAAAAY better tasting than the Unicorn Frap, but it’s also super sweet so I couldn’t drink too much of it (I ordered a Tall). I loved the look of it and Halloween being my favorite holiday, this is definitely a drink I’m hoping makes another appearance next year!
Have you had it yet? What did you think? Let’s discuss in the comments.
