Charcoal-Colored Halloween Frappuccinos

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Starbucks' Zombie Frappuccino is Perfect for the Season

— October 25, 2018 — Lifestyle
With Halloween just around the corner, Starbucks' Charcoal Zombie frappuccino is offering a sweet treat for those looking for a themed pick-me-up.

Perfect for the spooky season, this drink serves as an elevated iteration of the blended treat that was released last year. This particular version features a milk-heavy drink that's comprised of a red bean base. It's been blended with ice to offer the drinker more texture and finished with a black sesame for a fragrance and a dark, spooky aesthetic.

The charcoal-colored drink is perfect for sharing on social media, or for celebrating the season, especially when considering that it's finished with whipped cream and a creamy red sauce that's reminiscent of blood.
