Following the success of its Christmas Tree Frappuccino, Starbucks has debuted a new Black and White Mocha Collection for the next major holiday. Sophisticated enough for any black tie affair, the new drinks help consumers celebrate the start of a new year in a delicious way.
The new Black and White Mocha Collection is a trio of specialty drinks created by Starbucks for the New Year's Eve holiday. The collection consists of three drinks, which include the Black and White Mocha, Black and White Hot Cocoa, and Black and White Frappuccino. The former consists of Starbucks' signature espresso poured over a "silky swirl of white chocolate and dark mocha," topped with steamed milk, whipped cream, and chocolate sprinkles. The Black and White Hot Chocolate combines dark mocha sauce with steamed milk and white chocolate mocha sauce, as well as whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Finally, the Black and White Frappuccino is a frozen, coffee-infused version of the aforementioned hot cocoa.
