Out of all the Frappuccinos that cycle in and out of Starbucks' stores — the Crystal Ball, S'mores, Cherry Mocha — there are two mainstays. The Caramel and Mocha Frappuccinos have been on menus since the since the '90s, and they're not going anywhere. But starting today, you can get a richer, darker version of both drinks, and unlike other seasonal rotations, they're a permanent addition to the menu.
The Ultra Caramel and Triple Mocha Frappuccinos hit stores today, and they're pumped up with layers of whipped cream, new sauces, and an extra dose of caffeine. Both drinks start with a layer of Sweet Cold Brew Whipped Cream. Just added to Starbucks' menu, the whipped cream will cancel out any chance of you saying "no whip" next time you order a drink. It's made with actual cold brew, and has 15mg of caffeine in the portion put on a grande, according to a Starbucks spokesperson. A cup of coffee has around 95mg, so it's not like you're doubling up on caffeine, but it is a nice bonus. It also has white chocolate mocha and dark caramel sauces infused into it. Be warned, you'll want a whole cup.
Back to the coffee: Both new Frapps are caffeinated as well, and have a new sauce to differentiate them from the classics. Dark caramel and dark mocha sauces are layered over the whipped cream at the bottom and blended into the drinks, which are made with coffee. The taste isn't wildly different than the classic Caramel and Mocha drinks, but it is creamier (hi whipped cream) and richer.
The new drinks are available in stores now, along with a new vegan-certified Macadamia Oat Cookie. From May 1 to June 4, in honor of Military Appreciation Month, you can also try the Salted Potato Chip Crusted Brownie. It's about the size of a hockey puck, so needless to say, we're pretty pumped about it.
