A Frappuccino is a trademarked blended iced coffee drink from Starbucks. This drink has a coffee or crème base that is blended with ice and ingredients like flavors, syrups, spices, and whipped cream. You can buy a Frappuccino at Starbucks, or you can purchase a bottled version sold at gas stations, grocery stores, vending machines, and more.
The word “Frappuccino” combines the words “frappe” and “cappuccino” into one. A frappe is like a milkshake, while a cappuccino is a coffee drink with frothed milk. By combining these words, the Frappuccino shows roots in both while being distinct from them too.
The traditional Frappuccino does have blended coffee in it. In many ways, it is similar to ice coffee, especially because it contains brewed coffee. The traditional Frappuccino is made with a caffeinated Frappuccino roast. Because of how many other ingredients come in this drink, it is a favorite among those who don’t like a strong coffee flavor.
For the caffeine-sensitive, there are decaffeinated options. You will need to request this specifically whenever you go to Starbucks. For a decaffeinated Frappuccino, the barista will use decaffeinated espresso shots in place of the Frappuccino roast instant coffee. This creates a decaffeinated version of this favorite.
