While there always seems to be a brand new Frappuccino flavor on the horizon, we wanted to know, which are the tried and true best flavors that have ever existed. These include year-round flavors and also limited-edition flavors that sometimes are seasonal and sometimes come and go in a flash. These are the absolute flavors you must try immediately, or hope that they bring back so you can try it at least once.
5. Caramel
There’s just something about this classic Frap flavor. That buttery caramel is so decadent and delicious, it’s really hard to bear. Those ribbons of caramel that you encounter every few sips makes it feel like a luxurious experience, not just an iced beverage.
4. Vanilla Bean
We know – vanilla has the reputation for being the most uninteresting and boring flavor out there. Hear us out though, because the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is like a next-level vanilla milkshake. It’s really that good. Best of all, it isn’t as heavy as a milkshake. So while it might not have the bells and whistles of some other flavors, it is a classic for a reason.
3. Chestnut Praline
This is a seasonal favorite for a reason: it’s so gosh darn tasty. The winter-themed treat features flavors of caramelized chestnuts, spices, and coffee. It’s all topped with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs. It combines the best of winter-time flavors, ironically in a cold blended drink.
2. Oprah’s Cinnamon Chai
At this point, this flavor might be a little tough to find, but it certainly counts as an oldie but a goodie. Anyone who enjoys the flavors of cinnamon and ginger would adore this Frap. Best of all, every cup of this drink that was purchased helped give back to charity, which would make Oprah proud of us all.
1. S’mores
Nothing says summertime like s’mores flavored anything. The combination of the mashmallowy syrup with the chocolate-espresso base along with the whipped cream topped with graham cracker crumble is truly divine. It encapsulates summer in a Starbucks cup, and there’s truly no beating that. While we wish we could enjoy this one all year round, it’s another fun thing to look forward to during the summer.
