This drink also contains the mango refresher plus a touch of dragon fruit. What is a Frappuccino without toppings? Lastly, this drink is topped with whipped cream, and below I will discuss each of the ingredients and their role in giving the Starbucks Dragon Fruit Frappuccino its greatness.

Crème base- Even though this is an essential ingredient in making the dragon fruit Frappuccino, one can choose a crème base of their own choice, but mostly, the standard one is always the vanilla crème base. This crème base is a prominent ingredient during the making of the Dragon fruit Frappuccino and is made using milk, crème Frappuccino Syrup, vanilla bean powder, and ice.
Whole milk- Whole milk is necessary for preparing the crème base, an essential ingredient in making the Dragon fruit Frappuccino. This milk blends with the other elements to give the drink its creamy nature.
Ice- Ice is necessary to prepare the crème base to give it a fine texture.
Vanilla bean powder- vanilla bean powder is an essential ingredient in making the crème base.
Coffee Frappuccino Syrup- This is the most apparent ingredient when making the mocha Frappuccino that extensively prepares the great Starbucks Grasshopper Frappuccino.
Coconut milk-Coc coconut milk, just like whole milk, is added to this drink to make it creamy and add a little flavor.
Mango refresher- This ingredient is necessary to give the drink taste and its colorful nature. Usually, when making the Dragon fruit Frappuccino the mango refresher is added to the second line.
Whipped cream– What would an iced Frappuccino be without a topping? The whipped cream is present to make the drink even more colorful and add sweetness to it.
