Here are Starbucks’ 6 new Frappuccino flavors
Starbucks introduced six new Frappuccino flavors on Monday, based on their customers’ requests.
From cinnamon roll to lemon bar, the new dessert-themed offerings will also be competing for the title of “Fan Favorite” in a voting competition that will kick off June 19.
The new flavors will be permanently added to Starbucks’ menu. However, the flavor that proves most popular will be offered at a discount from July 3-6, when a Grande (16 oz) will cost $3. A Grande usually costs about $3.95, though prices vary by store.
“Over the years we have seen many creative recipes from our customers, and the six Fan Flavor Frappuccino beverages featured in the Flav-Off contest represent a few of the most popular recipes,” Starbucks marketing director Renee Jones said in a press release.
Starbucks is rolling out the new flavors to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Frappuccino — which was launched at a San Fernando Valley, California store back when Starbucks had fewer than 300 locations.
The idea came from district manager Dina Campion (now with the company’s digital team), who noticed other local shops offering blended coffee beverages in 1993.
The name came from The Coffee Connection, a Boston company acquired by Starbucks that used to make them with soft-serve ice cream, according to Starbucks’ website. By the summer of 1995, the Starbucks version of a Frappuccino was a nationwide offering.
20 years later, the Frappucino is offered in 34 flavors. Here’s a look at all six new Frapps:
