In addition to offering a s'mores frappuccino for a limited time, Starbucks will also be serving the iced coffee beverage with a cookie straw. The highly anticipated campfire coffee treats will be available beginning tomorrow, April 28, 2015.
In addition to layers of marshmallow-infused whipped cream, chocolate sauce, coffee, milk, ice and graham cracker crumble topping, the limited edition Starbucks drink will come with a cookie straw instead of the standard green pipette. The drinking straws will consist of "rolled sweet wafer biscuit lined with rich chocolate ganache" that will perfectly complement the concoction.
The straws will be absolutely free of charge as well, while supplies last. Or you can purchase the straws separately for $0.95.
