Delish -Alrighty folks, the time has come: Starbucks is putting those tie-dye Frappuccino rumors to rest—and adding said Frapp to menus for an extremely limited time. While photos of the pretty, multi-colored drink have already begun circulating on social media during test runs at various Starbucks stores, July 10 is the first day you can officially order the Tie-Dye Frappuccino at Starbucks locations nationwide. Are you ready for it?!
Here’s everything we know about this summer’s specialty drink:
1) It’s only in stores for a limited time. This is likely because it takes some time and effort to make and baristas have about a million other things to do (ahem, see tweet below). Per Starbucks’ press release, it’ll be available for just a few days while supplies last so…hurry up and get to Starbucks if you’re intrigued.
2) It’s a crème-based frapp, so there’s no caffeine. The drink is made with your choice of milk, ice, and crème Frappuccino syrup, plus vanilla whipped cream and natural food coloring to make the yellow, red and blue tie-dye swirls. The colors come from turmeric, red beet and spirulina. On top, there’s another sprinkling of colorful sugar so as to really hammer home the tie-dye vibe.
3) According to Starbucks, the drink has a tropical fruit flavor. On Twitter, a few people have compared it to banana Laffy Taffy while one barista compared it to the sugar stick that comes with Fun Dip.
4) You can order it in Canada, too! Cc: Justin Beiber, Shay Mitchell, Celine Dion, Drake, etc.
5) Employees can dress in tie-dye while the Frappuccino is in stores to match the drink, a few baristas have shared on social media. TBH, if you’re not dressed in tie-dye while drinking this Frapp, you’re really missing the boat.
