How do I store a Frappuccino overnight?

A Starbucks Frappuccino prepared in-store is stored overnight by freezing it. If it is a bottled frappuccino, simply store it in the refrigerator.

Can I drink my frappuccino after it is expired?

Drinking expired frappuccinos can cause issues like stomach aches, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. One of the methods to tell if your frappuccino is expired is through taste.
