In anticipation of the approaching Halloween season, Starbucks UK has introduced a 'Vampire Frappuccino,' which the coffee chain claims will be a "frightfully fun drink."
The Gothic caffeine-infused drink is comprised of a white chocolate Frappuccino base, that's been soaked with blood red strawberry sauce and topped with sweet whipped cream. This spooky limited-edition menu item hopes to prepare consumers for Halloween, as the drink will be available until the 31st of October.
After the popularity of Starbucks' 'Unicorn Frappuccino,' the coffee chain has been quick to introduce more creative and Instrgrammable seasonal offerings. To complement the Vampire-inspired drink, the brand is also retailing a 'Mummy' and 'Pumpkin' cookie, which are "as spooky as they are delicious."
