The sweetness of the frappuccino can make one want to keep it for longer and enjoy it slowly once in a while. An unopened Starbucks frappuccino can remain on the shelf as long as its expiry date allows. Always remember that a stored one has to be kept at room temperature.

On the other hand, an open one is prone to going bad very quickly. It must be placed in the fridge once opened and drank within 8 hours.
