It’s hot, and as such, paying a couple quid for an iced drink suddenly seems entirely reasonable.
Yes, even though we have a perfectly fine jug of ice water at home.
Knowing this, Starbucks has added a new Frappuccino flavour to their roster, made to please all those with a sweet tooth.
The newbie on the summer menu is the Peanut Butter Cup Frappuccino, an ice cold blend of peanut butter flavoured sauce and chocolatey java chips topped with whipped cream.
This will only be around for a limited time, from 6 August to 30 September, so be warned if it becomes your new regular order.
Price-wise, you’re looking at upwards of £3.45, the price for a Mini (and who orders a Mini?).
We gave the Frapp a go, and would say that if you’re a Frappuccino fan (meaning you like sugar, cream, and ice, basically), you’ll probably like this. It’s tasty, sweet, and ice-cold, so works a treat on a hot day.
But if you’re expecting a peanut butter hit like you’d get in a milkshake, you might be disappointed. This is a far more subtle flavour that sits alongside the chocolatey chips, so after the first few sips you’re not getting an overwhelming nutty sense, more an ‘ooh, this is a nice cold iced milk with bits of chocolate’.
If you’re not fussed about feeling like you’re drinking an actual mushed up spoonful of peanut butter, go ahead and get the Frapp. If you are, you might be better off just making your own version at home with all the nut butter and cookie pieces you desire.
Also on the summer menu, in case you need more options, is the Chocolate Marshmallow S’mores Frappuccino, which launched last year, was a massive hit, and is back again this summer – again, just from now ’til 30 September.
The S’mores option does contain coffee, so be warned, caffeine-free pals, but is sweet enough to feel like it doesn’t. This one is a blend of coffee, marshmallow flavoured syrup and milk chocolate sauce, topped with marshmallow whipped cream and a digestive crumb.
